Context matters, in this case location.
It’s like joking about child prostitution in Cambodia. As an American it’s something that happens in far away lands (not entirely true, it happens in the US too).
In Cambodia, it’s a very serious issue that really pisses of locals since it’s mostly Western tourists supporting it there.
Joke about it in the US and it’s just frowned upon. Do it in Cambodian and you’ll piss people off enough to get yourself in trouble.
