You're welcome to criticize a joke if it's not funny, but you're not really entitled to criticize it because you feel the topic should be off-limits from joking at all. You're absolutely entitled to criticize it if you feel it's off-limits, it's just that others DON'T have to take your criticism seriously and you don't HAVE to respect those who are making said criticisms. And likewise, just because you disagree with something as subjective as entertainment you don't need to spend hours crying about "LOL LOOK AT HOW TRIGGERED AND WRONG THIS PERSON IS! HOW DARE THEY SAY SOMETHING SO STUPID! I'M TOTALLY NOT MAD GUYS!". Just call the person an idiot and move the fuck on. I don't think this is quite right. I think society has done itself a great disservice by having this idea as the dominant one. Some ideas deserve to be challenged and when you leave a cool, edgy space for """"jokes"""" containing cultural and political messages to go unchecked, you get a culture where people latch onto the jokes, believe they're full of hidden truth, and then believe the premise. See the entire right wing part of the internet with their "edgy" memes that you're a SJW for noticing that the jokes always seems to come at the expense of minorities, women, gays, Muslim, and Jews. Those "jokes" should have been called out for their radicalizing, bigoted nature from the beginning instead of shielded by "just a joke" . --- https://imgur.com/0Bi86cp <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:926663050] in Should com...
