Small community scandals are a part of small communities and good luck to whoever is involved. However, the dot point list in this article manages to add a few levels of entertainment.
> Using potentially offensive language or slurs, in one case even calling an SNL [Saturday Night Live] skit from the 1970s using the same slur 'genuinely funny', which shows a lack of empathy towards other community members.
This is wonderful on a couple of levels. Both because someone seems to be saying finding SNL funny can be a CoC offence and also because I can't figure out what the word is. Too offensive for adults I suppose.

- greenyoda 2y agoSome context: The Point/Counterpoint debate between Curtin and Ackroyd was a recurring feature on SNL, and was a parody of the Point/Counterpoint segment on CBS's "60 Minutes": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_Minutes#%22Point/Counterpoint%22_segment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_Minutes#%22Point/Counterpoi...
- croes 2y agoI thought of the Richard Prior and Chevy Chase skit.
- misnome 2y agoAnd that quote is also a direct misrepresentation, if you look at the link, he merely said “back in the days when [SNL] was genuinely funny”, near the context of someone talking about that clip. Genuinely appears to be someone bad-faith fabricating reasons to get the result they’ve already decided on.
- squeaky-clean 2y agoThe way that point is worded feels like it's deliberately misleading. I don't know SNL aside from a couple famous sketches and my first interpretation was they meant they N word.
