And if it's regarding a friend or a joke made directly to someone who suffers from SH/depression, I will say something, or take action.

Just for the record, I've never SH'd myself. But there are plenty of other things you can make a joke out of besides another persons misery. There's nothing funny about it whatsoever.

Joking about things can make people a lot happier. I'm sure that talking about them as a
sufferer or someone who is on the edge of whatever could also be offensive to some people. I don't understand why you'd immediately judge someone for making a joke about self harm. I make jokes about self harm but I can also be serious about it. People who joke about it aren't always trying to be offensive. I suffer from depression and have self harmed but if someone said something or took action after someones tried to lighten me up or have a joke, I'd be very annoyed. People don't always need to be defended or treated like a victim.
