That Kathy Griffin thing reminds me of Charlie Hebdo type humour. Yes it's absolutely tasteless, but I think it's worth defending.

It's not aiming to be anything more than a satirical political comment. The audience is aware that she's a comedian holding a fake head.

It may be crass, but it's not a dogwhistle intended to stir up hatred or justify violence. I've seen worse on South Park.

It's tricky. People have a right to be offended I guess.

Like, if someone feels genuinely offended by this picture, then that's fine, and I can't really object.

But if someone is claiming that she crossed a line that comedians should never ever cross, then well, I'm not sure I agree.

Yes. I was inclined to think it a stupid, counterproductive, leftist-violence-condoning thing to do but I think you're right
