Isn’t that precisely when it’s ok to ridicule someone? Not based on properties they cannot change (race, height, sex, etc) but indeed based on behavior they choose to engage in (religion, politics, social behavior, life choices, etc.).

If ridiculing people for their behavior is now off limits then what the hell is left? Do we just talk about the weather?
