I stopped reading at the “self censorship” complaint. The idea that Borat couldn’t be made today because everyone is too woke is ridiculous.

- evilotto 5y agoI mostly agree, but I don't think Blazing Saddles could get made today; whether that would be because people are offended at the language or offended at how it mocks racist attitudes is up for debate.
- dools 5y agoYeah maybe so. I’m willing to let Blazing Saddles go though…
- fundad 5y agoYeah me too. If made today, Superbad! would be smeared on cable news as anti-cop propaganda. It's like "Calling someone gay isn't fashionable anymore so what's the use!?" boop
