How can I maintain political correctness while joining conversations that involve violent jokes, without sounding too uptight?

Try joining in by saying something like, “I know this may not be the most sensitive thing to laugh at, but...” or “I know this is a sensitive subject, but...” By starting your joke with these introductions, you’ll be able to voice your opinion while also being considerate of others around you.

Joining conversations about violent jokes without sounding too uptight can be done by making lighthearted comments or acknowledging the funny side of a potentially touchy subject. For instance, if someone is telling a particularly violent joke, you could say something like "I know it's probably really wrong to laugh at this, but that joke was definitely funny". This shows that you recognize the offensive nature of the joke while still appreciating its humor; this comes across as more PC than immediately protesting against the joke.
