Of course. In fact I'm not even sure we should put limits on mocking. My point was that the comment I was replying to simply wants us raise the bar of offensiveness. From what I can tell the point of something like Charlie Hebdo isn't necessarily to offend (that's a side effect). It's to shock and make people think about what they believe in. It's to show how something is silly. To imply that it exists simply to mock others is, in my opinion, offensive to the people who died creating it. I think the new cover shows that there is much more to this work than simply mocking something they don't agree with - I don't think the commenter I was replying to got that.
