Crazy. Something I've been thinking about since watching the comedian part of the Trumps rally right before he got elected the 2nd time.... The jokes made me laugh, but not in a "haha he's so right! Puerto Ricans are trash!" it was in a "wow! anyone who believes that is such an idiot!" similarly I very much enjoy edgy humor like Southpark or a smaller project like DBZ Abridged, TO ME the joke is in the ridiculousness that anyone would say/act/behave that way, but it absolutely invites in the people who unironically agree with it. It's unfortunate to say the least. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] drmoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children) It's crazy what a great example 4chan is of this. Used to be 99 dudes laughing and playing along with some weird idiot and then suddenly it's 99 weird idiots. Really what turned me to sanitization of spaces. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago The problem with censorship then becomes who is the arbiter of truth, the same old issue with basically any organization wherein it requires some kind of leadership and therefore is possible to be corrupted. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Or maybe you realized they were never joking. permalink fedilink source parent
