A good measure of cultural fragmentation is how far on average a joke has to travel out of context for it to cause offense When jokes hit a mean free path of one degree on social graph you’ve hit anarchy

Vgr what do you think the mean free path is now? Cause I see he same trend as Antonio. Everyone is offended all the time, and even saying this offends people.

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.

I’ve self-censored to avoid upsetting the blueb tribe. But maybe that stuff just legitimately isn’t as funny. Stuff I generally enjoy laughing it is usually more absurd.

I suspect white guys self-censoring has created more space for humor from other groups than it has kept out of circulation tbf, so your experience sounds like a net good thing to me
