I dont think that's it. An entire industry has popped up where people feel like better people if something offends them.

[@allanleigh4236]

Ppl are too sensitive

[@jpetersgoyanks]

They actually aren’t. Their sensitivity is unique to themselves and as such appropriate. The problem is when we assume others must have our sensitivity. That said, expressing our sensitivities is healthy and if enough people agree it’s hard to get mad if that has an effect. We are still finding the balance of what online decent means and how to gauge it but that’s only natural. Cancel culture is media hype, it’s not real.

MAGATS love Jesus and their own big guns. I don’t get why they got offended. They protect their guns more than anything Jesus said about loving our neighbors.

[@lemaygaming6952]

The most successful comedians are controversial and offensive. People aren’t actually snowflakes.

[@OversoulGaming]

It depends on the person. Personally I think everyone is a hypocrite when it comes to comedy. I have a religious friend who's fine with racist jokes and homophobic jokes but if you make fun of Jesus he'll lose his mind. Everyone thinks certain things should be protected from being made fun of but what people think those things are varies from person to person. And it's all because of personal biases and subjective morality. But if you ask me, good comedy punches up. Not down. Blazing Saddles is kind of punching down. There are better ways to do parody and satire without reaching for the lowest hanging fruit along the way.

[@mattscanlon2541]

"if the roles had been reversed" criticisms almost always rub me the wrong way because they're almost always a way to silence marginalized people from speaking out against the ways they're marginalized. the whole point of the teacher-student affair skit is that THAT IS HOW PEOPLE ACTUALLY REACT TO THOSE SITUATIONS. when a grown man sleeps with an underage girl it's horrifying, and rightly so, so why is it when a grown woman sleeps with an underage boy it's all "YOU DA MAN, DAWG! GET SOME! WHAT A GIGACHAD!"? women are beaten and murdered every day and no one cares until a late night sketch comedy show depicts ONE woman (justifiably) beating up ONE man. both examples just smack of misogyny, the first in suggesting that women of any age are conquests for men and the latter in denying women our agency, our strength, our righteous fury, as if to say "i can beat the shit out of you all i want, don't even try to joke about beating the shit out of me in retaliation because your job is to shut up and take it."

It should have been a criticism of the double standard, but was it? Or did it just reinforce the double standard? I literally had a relative block me on Facebook for trying to convince him that female teachers should experience consequences for abusing their male students. He was convinced that it wasn’t as harmful to boys.

It's hilarious to see communists attacking liberals for being not left-wing enough, even though many of these sketches were already radical for the time.

You ever noticed all the people who say shit like "they can't make jokes like that anymore" and "they couldn't make that movie today" are always the ones who get offended.

the gen z sketch was so awful even from a comedic standpoint

Thank you! It was just so lazy!

Michael Che, a black man, “wasn’t familiar” with African American Vernacular English. 👍

none of the sketches went too far. People need to get their heads out their rears and realize they are jokes. Human commentary. If things are too shocking, then perhaps we all need to take a closer look at ourselves

Heroine = you are not getting shit done, aside from getting more heroine.
