Here's the thing about shows like South Park and Family Guy that make their money off of being edgy and offensive. They fundamentally reduce their viewers' capacity for empathy. If I found a joke funny, and you found it offensive, you're just too sensitive. This is directly related to the ride of the alt right and the election of trump. In this essay I will
So instead of writing the essay this is exactly what I'm talking about. This shit reduces your capacity for empathy. If you can't understand why people are hurt by a simple joke, nay, think that's the whole point... How the hell are you supposed to feel for someone when they come to you complaining of ACTUAL oppression? It's the foot in the door phenomenon. A little oppression isn't too bad, cuz it's funny, right? It hardens your heart against others
Somebody actually wrote this essay already. It's a Twitter thread about how the alt right recruits teenage boys by getting them to post slightly offensive memes... And then when they get called out and don't understand why the alt right channels their anger at feminists and women and people of color and liberals. According to this thread, boys are being "set up"
Read the whole thread at the link above this is just a snip
"offensive" shows like Family Guy are a precursor to the alt right and you can't change my mind
Y'all this shit so basic even Spongebob one it. It's not about being too sensitive. It's normalizing abuse through comedy that's a foot in the door to greater oppression.
postcards say IM HERE. IM HERE AND I LOVE YOU. IN THIS SPACE AND TIME AND WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU ARE. THERE IS A SPACE BETWEEN THOSE SPACES THAT CONNECTS US AND ITS FULL OF LOVE. I’LL MEET YOU THERE.

when parasite said the rich can afford to be kind, when parasite said global warming is most catastrophic for those least responsible, when parasite said the rich are the ones with access to sunlight, when parasite said the efforts of the working class are invisible to their exploiters, when parasite said water only ever flows from the rich down to the poor and never in reverse, when parasite said the rich are the real parasites for leeching off of their workers' labour
Sorry to all the BO$$ BABES out there but working sucks, money worship sucks, capitalism sucks, online influencing sucks.

Quite the stretch to call France a free country.

Happy Halloween!
“My wife” says the woman I’m talking to. Suddenly my skin is clear, my student loans are paid, I feel remade.
@ any wlw reading this: I love you all and hope you get girlfriends and wives if you want them.
Happy Pride Month, may my blessing for wlw be more powerful than ever.
People asked if this includes trans lesbians and it absolutely does and my blessing will flip into a curse for anyone who thinks otherwise.

okay this one wins, everyone can stop reblogging this now
This Has To Be The Greatest Idea Ever
#can we get a donation box on the house floor? #I want CNN to train one camera on it at all times #I want John Lewis dropping quarters really loudly into it while Paul Ryan speaks #just ‘ping’ ’-and the affordable care act costs taxpayers-’ ‘ping’ ’-funding abortions at planned parenthood-’ ‘ping’ ’-balance the budget- #‘ping’ ’-will you stop that?!?’ ‘sure - whenever you’re ready’ #‘i got all day mr. speaker - taxpayers pay me to show up here and do my job’ #‘and tell the truth’ (wrangletangle)
Reblogging again for that great addition.
I love this because in some parliamentary systems it is unparliamentary language to imply a representative is lying. However, you can make a case for arbitrarily dropping coins into a box.
