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

OP WHERE’S THE FUCKING ESSAY

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.

I want to scream this post at everyone! It’s such an important thing to know!!! Stop saying people are sensitive when you’re the one whose doing horrible things.

All we want is a head rush.

All we want is to get out of our skin for a while 

We have nothing to lose because we don’t have anything 

Anything we want anyway…

We used to hate people 

 Now we just make fun of them 

It’s more effective that way

We don’t live 

We just scratch on day to day 

With nothing but matchbooks and sarcasm in our pockets 

And all were waiting for is for something worth waiting for 

Let’s admit America gets the celebrities we deserve

Let’s stop saying don’t quote me because if no one quotes you 

You probably haven’t said a thing worth saying 

We need something to kill the pain of all that nothing inside 

We all just want to die a little bit

We fear the pop-culture is only the culture we’re ever going to have 

We want to stop reading magazines 

Stop watching TV 

Stop caring about Hollywood

But we’re addicted to the things we hate 

We don’t run Washington and no one really does 

Ask not what you can do for your Country

Ask what your Country did to you

The only reason you’re still alive is because someone has decided to let you live

We owe so much money we’re not broke we’re broken 

We’re so poor we can’t even pay attention

So what do you want 

You want to be famous and rich and happy 

But you’re terrified you have nothing to offer this world 

Nothing to say and no way to say it

But you can say it in three languages

You are more than the sum of what you consume 

Desire is not an occupation 

You are ultimately thrilled and desperate

Sky high and fucked 

Let’s stop praying for someone to save us and start saving ourselves 

Let’s stop this and start over 

Let’s go out-let’s keep going

This is your life-this is your fucking life 

We need something to kill the pain of all that nothing inside 

Quit whining you haven’t done anything wrong 

Because frankly You haven’t done much of anything

Someone’s writing down your mistakes 

Someone’s documenting your downfall
