My opinion from this thread: The best part of the "anything and everything" mantra was in response to the status quo, offensiveness was used to shock you into actually considering blatant things that we have assimilated into our lives unknowingly.. People can laugh at something that is painful and imbued with understanding. Or some caricature drawn to extremes, parodying stereotypes of detestable nature. But whenever you turn tools of a transgressive nature upon those who are already victimized, you have every right to do it, but you're just being a fucking asshole. And lazy too. e. one of those links is broken and I have no clue what it linked to.This fucking "comedian" shit that everyone uses as justification.
