Here's why Nick is full of shit:
While it's true a joke can fall flat, and humor is subjective, even a shitty joke is at least often
recognized as a joke or a joke attempt.
What Vito wrote on Twitter was a sentence that would have been right at home in just about any MAP propaganda. For example, Todd Nickerson's now infamous Salon article. An article so bad, even Salon couldn't stomach keeping it up.
This is a joke. It's in bad taste, and I personally don't find it funny, but I
do recognize it as a joke.

Even Roseanne Barr (who played opposite
@AnOminous in a long running TV show, BTW), in the course of criticizing James Gunn, knows he was joking.

This, OTOH, does not read anything like an attempt at humor. A reasonable person would read this and conclude this person is totally serious. That they are making a
statement. The only people that think this reads like a joke are performing some serious mental gymnastics. Thanks in no small part to Masterson's influence, I guess Nick can count himself among that group.

But hey, Nick gets to hang out in Nashville with Dick. I guess lapping up Dick's narrative is the price one has to pay to do that. Meanwhile, per
@Himedall All-seeing Waifu, it seems like some people Nick wanted to invite want no part of that circus, and I can't exactly blame them. I gather it's Cecil, EVS, and Yellowflash.
