Personal attacks like that will get you banned on HN. Cliché flamewar comments, which this also is, aren't much better. Worse yet, you've repeatedly been posting flamewar comments to HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28868269).
Would you please review the site guidelines and stop posting like that? We're trying for a (very) different kind of discussion here.
The problem is, someone will always find offense at something especially once culture teaches them it gives them power over others.
Once you give in to the extreme end, you'll be giving in to more and more and more.
People tried canceling Weird AL bc he said "spastic" in Word Crimes, and that's supposedly ableist.
What's he to do? Tell you its only a joke so you can come back with your retort about "these types of people" for whom it's "always a joke"
Power has been given to the mobs and they keep moving the line and we're at their mercy of what is allowed and not allowed to not only be funny but be said at all
Even more maddening is that this little group of authoritarians spend so much time crying about fascism anytime someone is to the left or the right of the Democratic Party, without having a hard look in the mirror.
All these perpetually offended types weren't mad at Netflix when it peddled a movie that paid preteen girl actresses to twerk and grind on a floor for a film with "a message". But black man hurt fee fees by trying to find a middle ground no less, so let's bring out the tiki torches.
It's not a funny joke, but yes, that too falls in the range of comedy, distasteful and harsh at it is. It's dark comedy. Yet it seems to me you purposefully escalated it 10 levels above the supposed insult in the show.
I play a fair amount of games and pretty much every day I see in chat something like this: "I hope your mother dies of cancer".
This does nothing to me. It doesn't upset me. Because context matters. It's some anonymous kid cowardly saying the nastiest thing they can think of. Which in male to male dialogue means going for the holiest of holiest: their mother.
Who cares? Even if it would offend me...so what? What happens next? Nothing. You don't have a right to not be insulted.
Would you please not break the site guidelines just because someone else did? It's really dismaying to see an established user like you stooping to that level.
