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.

You're all here because of his call to action. YOU are his call to action. *You're* the proof. The history: Crowder made continuous homophobic & racist "jokes" about Carlos Maza which was a call to action that was answered resulting in him being harassed on social media. /1

Carlos snapped back & Crowder put up a second call to action response video cloaked as an apology video & *you* answered the call & are here now bad faithing in these comments Those videos were a call to action that you, & many others, answered & continue to act upon even now /2
