Can't help but be reminded of Justine Sacco’s infamous tweet. The joke a frankly terrible attempt at irony, but my read was that she had intended to poke fun at racists. Sacco not only lost her job over it but had to endure weeks of death threats and threats of rape. People of course moved on but I do recall one journalist describing what he saw when he interviewed her for his book on public shaming. A sad shell of a human being with emotional scarring she'll have to endure for the rest of her life. Data is only one part of the problem.
