Part of the genius of MDE was its moral venom. I don’t know what the above is. I don’t watch TV or keep up closely with entertainment and its personalities, so I had no idea that child abuse was the pinnacle of edgy-but-acceptable humor.

So are you suggesting MDE got cancelled because it came too close to the truth?
-
It was canceled because it was right wing. You have to be shockingly naive to believe otherwise.
-
It was canceled because it was unfunny and derivative. It only got on the air in the first place because they hounded the execs at Adult Swim, and it got canceled when it became clear it was more trouble than it was worth. Please, link me a sketch to change my mind.

Why was it “more trouble than it was worth”? It had 1.033 million viewers, the third highest viewership for CN at the time.

It was causing them to be associated with the alt-right, which is good when they like you but those guys are volatile and unpredictable my dude

You just contradicted yourself and hit upon the crux of the matter: For some reason child abuse qua child abuse is acceptable but “being associated with the alt-right” is a bridge too far.
-
And mde isn’t even alt right, just right leaning. Joe Bernstein slapped the alt right label on them because it was trendy at the time. The audience that gave them their million views per ep was the regular [as] audience, augmented by mde fans.

The entertainment industry is being rocked by a preference cascade exposing a nest of pedophilia, sex trafficking and sexual abuse. This actually is the case, not mere speculation. Do you get why it’s curious that pedo jokes are tolerated while MDE is canned?
