recusatio satyra 

"Refusal of Satire" in Latin
The act of refusing a joke despite the OP making it clear that the "joke" was indeed a joke. This word can be associated with "Joke Police" as they are typically the ones who experience recusatio saytra.

This action tends to happen when the joke was offensive/inappropriate and the person undergoing recustatio satyra

acts as if they have more/better morals.

This often happens on social media (e.g, Twitter) when one makes an overly offensive joke and people pile on that individual for the offensive joke.

For example: On August 3rd, 2022, a Twitter user posted a clip of Genshin Impact Voice Actor Sean Chiplock saying he would "smash" Sayu, a loli character within the game. One second later in the clip, Chiplock says "just for everyone who was recording." This signifies that he knows the clip will be taken out of context and joked on by the Genshin fanbase. Despite this, many people called Chiplock a "pedophile."

Context for joke: A common assumption for Genshin Impact players is that they're sex offenders. This is enhanced by nearly half of the Genshin Impact characters being below the age of 18 and/or looking below the age of 13.
Person A: "Smash or Pass: Sayu"
Chiplock: "Smash!"
Chiplock: "Just for everyone who was recording!"
Person B: "She looks 8 years old! You're a pedophile!"
Person C: "He literally made it clear that it was a joke. How are you undergoing recusatio satyra?"
B: "WTF is a recusatio satyra? Are you defending pedophillia?"
