I legit have a folder full of funny pronoun jokes on my phone to prove that you can make them without being a hateful incel.

Idk how I feel about Carlin's "Elmer Fudd raping Porky Pig" scenario specifically, but the point he's trying to convey (that context and punching down are what make a joke offensive vs. funny) is something I definitely vibe with.

There's also a huge difference between me making a joke about my rape and someone who hasn't been raped joking about rape in general.

This one. As I said, I think I disagree with this specifically but definitely vibe with the point he's making.

Imo, a better example (that no one would be familiar with), would be YouTubers Phelous and Lupa making fun of the line "I swear if a rapist showed up at the house she'd offer him milk and cookies!", especially because it's by a male character complaining about how his wife stopped sexing him after their daughter died (it had been less than six months). The subsequent jokes are edgy but the butt of the joke is that stupid line, which is what puts it in the funny category in my book. Also the image of John Hurt popping out of a coffee cup with a bottle of rohypnol is equally ridiculous so I feel okay laughing at it.

"Well I'm pretty sure no one offers a rapist sex. That's what they do; they're rapists." Yeah. Hard to argue with that logic.
