I agree but text isn't really the most clear cut venue for comedy.
Text can be really ambiguous and people often lob venomous words from behind the shield of "I was joking". I'm sure some were just joking but others were not, and in either case, the potential for readers to misinterpret the joke or correctly interpret the venom exists, making the potential for the hate to propagate greater.
I've laughed my ass off at comedians making gay jokes. They were comedians and it wasn't comedy via text. There are so many facial and body language cues, vocal intonation, comedic timing, etc that go into comedy and text based stuff just doesn't have any of it.
Text based communication just probably isn't the best place for that humor.
