I understand and empathize with people who are the but of jokes finally being able to speak up. I’m definitely glad to see the trend you’re talking about. I also see a parallel trend that you don’t seem to see, and seem disinterested in seeing.

Dunno, but not zero. I’ve not personally felt constrained in writing the kinds of funny blog posts or tweets I’ve wanted to. What I think is happening is that some people are gaining and others are being constrained, with net increase in humor. Just not from the same old crowd.
