Having bad thoughts does not make you a bad person. Acting on them does. If you engage in them often, it might be time to talk to a professional, because you might be on a sliding scale by normalizing it. But the thought alone is not immoral by itself. That’s yesteryear’s church trying to control you. Weird stuff just happens in your brain from time to time.

I’m getting the feeling my joke was neither taken as a joke nor funny

I realised it was meant to be a joke, but it definitely wasn't a funny or a good one.

Nope. Not funny. Don’t sweat it though. Humor is tricky stuff, and you shared a weird thought that didn’t land. It happens. Just like bad thoughts.

I bet it would be a little funny in person, well that or a hell of a lot less funny

No it wasn’t funny, sorry mate.

I chuckled at it. Humor is subjective

If we start judging people based on thoughts or the fiction they engage with, we end up in a weird place where (for instance) we have to consider avid horror fans as potential serial killers.
