It's like when Saturday Night Live was devoting a large portion of their show to attacking Trump but they were using an actor who called his daughter a "little pig" and their musical guest got up and started singing about "bad bitches and their ugly ass friends".
We certainly don't hold ourselves or the actors and musicians we look to on the TV for political satire and entertainment to any kind of "moral standard". But when one of us runs for president, it's paramount.
- wand3r 9y agoTL;DR Holding people to different standards is not hypocritical and their context, position and intent is typically the basis of this discrimination i was using a well known quote from an arena outside production music. I am pro free speech-- vehemently and with very little exception. That said; words are important and so is context and intent. Of course I hold the leader of America to a different standard; as I do many others to varying degrees. I don't think it's hypocritical to be in favor of free speech; nor to hold people accountable for that speech (Westboro baptist church, KKK) or to expect a different "moral standard" from different people (a CEO representing a company; politician representing a constituency). I think "parental advisory" is more silly than problematic. 1) this stuff exists everywhere. 2) probably cost a lot to enact. 3) morals fluctuate, some things are arbitrary. There was a time "pregnant" was a dirty word. 3 "fucks" and 1 "shit" is maybe ok but add another "bitch" and you are over the limit? I just think it's stupid
