@shavixmir saidWe'll have to agree to disagree on that. I think there is no excuse for gratuitously hurting people, whether the mode is humor or some other.
You can’t judge humor like that.
There is absolutely no reason not to mock the sick, dying or mentally disturbed.
Everyone is fair game.
There is basically one rule: it shouldn’t be malicious; it shouldn’t make you look better, at the expense of the target.
And there is an exception to this rule: people in power. They’re fair game no matter what.
I don’t see the pr ...[text shortened]... example:
I can crack a racist joke. A racist can’t.
A racist can crack a racist joke about Obama.
@shavixmir saidI agree 100%. The problem with determining what can and cannot be joked about, means that someone or some "body" needs to make that judgement call. I will agree with censoring if you let me be the censor, fair enough.

And I find no single person nor no " body " of persons suitable to perform the function. People will always offend others, get over it.

SLN has satire on the show, every weekend,
sometimes cruel & offensive, never see an uproar over it posted here.
Don't really see anyone going after 'Dilbert,'
except you, Earl, and your favorite source, ''BREITBART.''
@earl-of-trumps saidIf you look at who's actually complaining it's 4 dumb people on Twitter. Breitbart writes these vapid articles for clicks and ad revenue but it's garbage journalism.
How sad has this America become. My God, isn't anything sacred, not even Dilbert?

How many adherents do you suppose those 4 dumb people on Twitter have?
Breitbart is surely picking on a sect of people. sick people, but people none the less.

@shavixmir saidUnless it's the prophet Muhammad.
The whole point of humor is to point out our flaws and mock us. It should never be censored.
@earl-of-trumps said“Identify”?!
The trannies are faux upset jut so as to bring attention to themselves as the innocent victims being kicked.
Dave had absolutely nothing to do with trans *anything*.
