- seattle_spring 7y agoWow, that would cause an unprecedented amount of moral outrage if it were on TV today.
- nfoz 7y agoHas anything changed? This sort of crass humour is still on TV. Has the percentage of the population that disapproves of this type of humour really changed? Maybe the nature or visibility of "outrage" has changed? even just by social-media + the politicization of us-vs-them moral culture wars? Our perception of "what is causing outrage, by whom and how much" is being used as a political weapon across basically all media, as far as I can tell. So it's pretty hard to tell in what ways some culture(s) / subcultures might be changing over time.
