I disagree that this is always true. We often think we deserve to be mocked, and we need to know we deserve better. I picked this comic in particular because "did you forget your name?" is mean. Always. I don't care the reason or motivation. It is a mean thing to say. It isn't a funny joke. It's not a misunderstanding. It's meant to be mocking. Maybe the person doesn't know they're mocking a *speech disability*, but they know they're mocking you for how you speak. Unless you can give me an example of how it's not meant to be mocking bc I can't imagine one. I think we may misalign malice sometimes when it isn't always true (such as someone smiling when we speak, or looking away, or guessing our word), but even in those situations, it's valid to acknowledge that it hurts and feels bad for us.
