General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

so where do you draw the line

 

[Comrade Khan]

Ngl tho. The racial draft probably one of my favorite skits on any skit show

oh i laughed at it and still think some of it is funny

 

[Barry Poppins]

The joke should never come off as, "The act of rape is funny", the joke should be, "The absurdity of rape is what should be funny."

 

[Comrade Khan]

im just more saying, if im being truly honest with myself

 

[Comrade Khan]

there was some racist ass shit

 

[Barry Poppins]

George Carlin uses a wonderful example, "Imagine Porky the Pig raping Elmer Fudd"

 

[Shane]

I get it that some jokes come across more as funny and some come across as cruel

 

[Hoss]

Jokes about rape, and even stuff like the Holocaust, are to be structured in a sense of over-exaggeration and absurdity.

It's why shows like Sunny and South Park persist. The characters in the shows that are offensive are deliberately so and purposely portrayed as scumbags. They're mocking people who are ignorant or have the "offensive" beliefs.

 

[Comrade Khan]

but thats also why its kind of bad to be mad at ppl for that kind of stuff then. just that chapelle unfortunatly decided to move on from black jokes to trans jokes

 

[Shane]

But it’s hard idk

this is the ticket

 

[Comrade Khan]

in shows liek SP and sunny

 

[O-Blaze]

But there’s NEVER going to be not be offensive humor out there

I had an idea, like it isn’t a total fix and everything. But like, at least have some sort of warning at the start of them to be like “this type of shit is here, watch at your own risk “ like that’s some sort of middle ground here

 

[Comrade Khan]

people are potrayed as absolute scumbags and pieces of shit for making those jokes

I never talked about this yesterday but they literally tried to do that for video games and music, and it only made that stuff more popular specifically because it was now taboo.
