jim norton:"we are addicted to be offended "

all the edited out bieber roast jokes make me

and it's getting so goddamn old too.

For a culture thats as obsessed with bullying as ours is, I find it funny that the preferred way to deal with people you disagree with is to call them names, discredit them in public, and attempt to turn the mob against them. Or, you know, bully them.

I AM SO OFFENDED BY THIS. I'M SENDING MY LAWYERS YOUR WAY ASAP!!

i shared this on FB earlier

the culture of offense, similar to the culture of victim hood

and yeah, both are largely based in narcissism of individuals. norton nailed it

When Comedy Central named Trevor as Jon Stewart’s successor, our trusty, tireless brigade of social-justice warriors immediately went to work digging through his tweets and stand-up to find something, anything to be upset about.

standard operating procedure. scour through a person's entire history to find any little thing (even if taken out of context) to try to create a "gotcha" moment. it's pretty hilarious how this has become the standard rhetoric measure

In his rush to be funny, he had broken what has become the new golden rule in American public life, which is to never say anything (or, God forbid, joke about anything) that may be deemed even remotely offensive or upsetting by any segment of the population for any reason.

progressives, esp SJWs, lack a sense of humor

Upsetting ourselves on purpose is exactly what we are doing.

this is the narcissism and how he nails it

people are so self-absorbed and feel like their life is without meaning without some external purpose that this is what has emerged

it's #FirstWorldProblems and a sign of how great our society actually is. we don't have real shite to protest over so we make shite up, out of some idea/meme that protest is the highest form of being in the US. it's the vestigial tail of the civil rights era

No matter which direction you turn to aim the joke, someone is getting hit. And while the person who has been hit jumps up and down and exaggerates their injuries, everyone else in the circle is telling them to shut up and learn to take a joke. Until they themselves get hit.

---

yes. people have become ultimate pussies. it's part of the feminization of our society

Should you really be "checked" by a mob who decides who can be joked about what can and cant be joked about tho?thats ridiculous you have to ask is this funny to evsry single person before trying tk be funny

Steve Hughes nails it
