  • People are allowed to be critical of entertainment, and that includes comedy. In fact, sometimes you should be critical of things that people brand as “comedy”.

    Sometimes things are problematic, regardless of their intent as “comedy”. And that’s normal. Comedy often ages very poorly. Remember all those movies that used rape & sexual assault as a punchline? Should we not be critical of blackface because it’s supposed to be “comedy”? Should we turn off our brains because “it’s just a joke”?

    You’re allowed to laugh. Others are allowed to be more critical. Both are valid.

    Relax.











  • The creator stated their intent, and the author disagreed. Does that opinion make the creator’s statement untrue?

    It’s a weird situation & definitely a slippery slope. Was it his intent? I honestly can’t say. I guess it’s certainly a possibility.

    I don’t think this kind of app is harmful in itself. This kind of thing can & will obviously be used/weapon used by stupid shit-heads for their own agenda, but those kind of people will utilize literally anything that exists to justify their shit-head views.
