I guess it depends on your definition. Making a comment that a random girls’ lips “need some cream on them” is pretty over the top. As over the top as raping and killing children? No.
The common thread between them is they’re (obviously?) jokes, so the question is: is there a limit to what you can joke about, and I think 99% of comedians would say no.
End of the day though, people just need to be more aware of what they say online, the fact that it isn’t said in a bubble, and that there can be real life consequences (and you’re not going to know what they are until they happen to you).
In the same week, Disney fired a director for making child rape jokes years ago. The Brewers kept a player who used a lot of racist language years ago. It’s not just about what you said.
