That's why comedy is dead.
Here's hoping it's clear why this link is actually somewhat on topic...
It's also an excuse people use to be terrible. Shifting the blame to the victim and people who won't tolerate poor behavior. I've heard "You can't give offense...only take it" and this is nonsense. People give offense all the time and the people who do it are usually ones who lose their minds if anyone offends THEM. Being decent is not complicated. At some point in the last decade decent behavior has been labeled as "SJW" and "wrong" and weaponized by people who want to spread misery. In return you get some people who react to that in intense and over the top ways for sure, but it's not most and it's not an invalidation of the problem. Bad behavior doesn't stop being mad because someone loses their mind over it.
I can see that. When I was a schoolkid calling someone 'gay' was used to insult them. There was rampant and accepted homophobia. I realise it still exists, but these days most people don't even think twice about it, which is great.It's also an excuse people use to be terrible.

Bad behavior doesn't stop being mad because someone loses their mind over it. Not being able to tell bigoted jokes etc isn't opression. It's society catching up with human decency. If that upsets you then your values might be the root problem...not the reaction to them. I laugh at funny stuff...bigotry and spite isn't funny.
I do believe that was the finest link this particular potato has ever posted.Why, oh, why, did I click on it? You'd think it'd know better than that by now
You are quite right, though. It's on topic.
Huh? Carefully? I'm missing something. Don't make me repost the dilated potatogif gif again. You know I'll do it@Underscore
How exactly do you pill a potato?

There's a lot of truth is what you are saying. But comedy is not dead. Just look at politics. The greatest comedians ever putting on a show every day to the great diversion of the spectators.
Encore! Applause!

The sex thing is a shame. I am attracted to men who are aggressive, but now they're too scared to be. Society has deemed it "Toxic Masculinity" and witch hunt these individuals.People are having less sex and humor is shamed out of us. Humans communicate more then ever and our words are treated like a minefield where saying something wrong is more offensive then not living like a human.
I think most of this is people talking from what they know. They may know black culture, so they talk bout that. Maybe people need to broaden their horizons more.It's become that everything is racist or misogynist though when it isn't. The real issue is hatred and it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone. Now everyone reacts without stopping to think. I'm not sure they actually care or it's all just appearances. Getting offended on behalf of people who aren't offended themselves. What the heck is that? If it hits a personal trigger that's not really anybodys fault. I think not giving a shit is for the best until it's something you should give a shit about and what those things are sometimes has me shaking my head
It's definitely not just race either. Sexuality had become the new minority.
but yes, I don't feel like I can be myself on the internet anymore which is sad. I know I'm not a racist or a homophobe. But the internet wouldn't believe that if I actually posted things I wanted to post.
I fit most the minorities, so you think I'd have places to go and talk on the good 'ol internet, but it's all echo chambers repeating the same shit
That's what it is man. Everyone is expected to think and act the same, and say the same stuff. That's why the internet isn't fun anymore.I fit most the minorities, so you think I'd have places to go and talk on the good 'ol internet, but it's all echo chambers repeating the same shit
