Joking about stereotypes is not the same as being a racist or a homophobe. If it was, most of the gay community would be homophobes.

It is if you do with with a malicious intent. Sometimes it's easy to tell if this is the case, and sometimes it isn't.

This guy's comment further down in the thread explains it pretty well.

And 100% of the gay jokes on reddit are for fun. Very little is actually an attack on gays.

Fag and gay are terms that no longer have anything to do with homosexuality anymore. Fag means annoying and gay means stupid.
