Who gives a poo poo, would you care if they were Buddhist jokes?

Please list things people aren't allowed to joke about, I love having my speech controlled.

Can I make a joke about Christians? Or talk poo poo about Christians which this forum constantly does? Please decide my speech for me.

That was a serious headline. In Sweden women's groups protested that snow plows start clearing out (MALE DOMINATED) business areas first, rather than bike paths and sidewalks. Then the next big snowstorm hit and many people in Sweden were rather unamused.

So like no serious, you're making blanket statements about people with no understanding of what they're saying. JonTron for example is very far from alt-right, but his mom and grandma grew up under communist regimes so he sees what's happening to free speech and the media and he's starting to have some unfortunate associations. Having the media forge fake racist claims to use against a popular media star looks a liiiiitle like Literally The Soviet Union to someone who's had family who lived through it.

they did this around the same period in the United States too

People, especially people in privileged media positions, should probably save their outrage for actually outrageous things to maintain an air of credibility.

i think they are more concerned about making money than keeping credibility

Which is exactly why they are manufacturing hysterical articles against forms of media they see as competitors.

so video game guy is allowed to make jokes at the expense of millions of dead but the company cant sell papers/ad revenue at the expense of video game guy? :confused:

The difference is that the video game guy isn't trying to package it as a noble thing. It's one thing to make an off-color joke in public as an admittedly failed attempt at humor to make money. It's a completely different animal to wrap up your outrage in a cloak of righteous ideology in a quest to undermine your competitors. A comedian telling a bad joke damages his brand, just like a self-serious journalistic outlet damages their own brand by making too big of a deal over it because they feel threatened by him.

Idk if people don't like his humor they could just not watch his YouTube if people don't like the papers take on it then they don't have to read it :shrug:
