Or maybe satirizing murder and movements for human rights makes you a jerk. It has never been very socially acceptable to mock those kinds of things. I do agree that people are broadly more sensitive today than they were in the 90s. Styles change. Dark, edgy, and irreverent is out, at least in popular culture. I have this hypothesis that it tends to run counter to real life. In the 90s we were in the post Cold War peace and reality was optimistic, so people had an appetite for dark edgy art. Now reality is dark and edgy enough all on its own. Back when those things were in conservatives were having a fit about them too. Now they are having a fit that they are out? Anything to find a wedge issue I guess. Politicians need those wedge issues or they might have to earn their votes by actually fixing problems, and that’s hard.
