They were talking about cultural appropriation and yeah, I grew up watching Benny Hill who greatly exaggerated his characters but it wasn’t to discuss cultural appropriation...

And this is where things get hazy. I’m not a fan of cheap snipes on either side but there’s a difference between swinging at individuals (depends on what they did and if you’re punching up or down), a CHOSEN political ideology, and an unchosen demographic like race or gender.

A joke that had the tenet of “all people from the South are inbred” isn’t something I’d support (though white southerners still have an easier time than a lot of minorities) but swinging at gun nuts that choose their lifestyle is different.

It's not just offensive it's often, & now more so than ever, a call to action. It's, at best, a reinforcement of the chosen subject of mockery as a "them" to the us. It's at worst a bit that will be referenced or in the browser history of the next spree shooter People are dying.

These "jokes" are referenced in the manifestos or internet posts of spree shooters or found in their browser histories. This shit has a fucking body count. We have an example of this at play now. Look at the difference between
@Chickenooble's joke, & *my* joke. My joke is funnypic.twitter.com/Lnft1rmpWc

Moreover no white dudes are going to be harmed because I told Chickennooble he's bad at sex. He's the butt of an (actually funny) joke but it's not going to lead to any injury to his demographic. This isn't the case for Crowder's jokes or any right wing talking heads jokes.
