You're offended that a satire is called out via text before a movie starts, in order to let more people in on the joke?

- m0zg 5y agoNo, I'm not offended by that. I'm just disappointed that we kowtow to moralist busybodies with the IQ of a house plant, and the sense of humor of a door knob, and this is somehow deemed not just socially acceptable, but "virtuous". It's a rather obvious, and a rather pointless death spiral, with increasingly stringent, humorless, and insane purity tests for all involved. Were it up to me, we'd be mercilessly laughing at such people.
- chrisdhal 5y agoHonestly, I kind of am. I find it ridiculous that people can't tell that something like Airplane! and Blazing Saddles are satires. Needing that much hand holding explains a lot about people today. It's also like how Netflix now has warnings that a show/movie may have smoking in it. Come on, be an adult and learn how to deal with things that make you a bit uncomfortable, that's called life.
- edmundsauto 5y agoWouldn't it just be easier to ignore those warnings? Are you similarly affected by the PG/PG-13/R ratings on tv shows and movies? I'm not trying to attack you, but there is a major /r/selfawarewolves in the mindset where people get offended by what other people are offended by. We could all do a bit better about just ignoring things that aren't relevant to us.
