It doesn't matter if these things are said and done ironically. If they are perceived as being serious they become serious.

The debate could only occur as something like "at what point does this become serious". For example does it take newspapers to say so, or your social circle , or is it independent of external influence. Could all jokes be offensive in that way?

It reminds me of the french Quenelle invented by a french humorist a few years ago https://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/24/opinion/deciphering-the-q... https://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/03/world/europe/concern-over...

Intent definitely matters. Freedom of speech protects satire, but doesn't protect threats.
