I don't think the people that act like this actually want things to get better moreso than to absorb a feeling that "they won".

I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes, nothing to do with Charlie Kirk, I just didn't find it all that funny compared to most of the roasts I've watched.

“The Black community is so proud of you… right now George Floyd is looking up at us all, laughing so hard he can’t breathe,” he said.

LMFAO

Looks like the Fatigues are pissed off over a joke too.

I have zero problem with tasteless jokes at a roast. This is what humor used to be. I loved the joke from Tony that he has no clue how that chick's husband lasted 3 years with her before killing himself. Zero comedic censorship was nice to see.

We'd be better off if we just abandoned the noise over cancel culture and hypocrisy and admitted the truth.

It's fine to want to cancel your enemies and not cancel your friends. Just frame it that way instead of framing it on some deeply held belief in the marketplace of ideas.

I don't know if "fine" is the word I'd use, natural perhaps.

I don't give jack shite about a roast joke. I'm talking about the celebration (among some) that went on when Charlie Kirk was murdered. He got killed for words. Disgusting.


Well, I'm pretty sure this thread is about the roast so...

So you're a mind reader too. Assuming you know me. lo-fricking-l.

And you're proving just how thick you are. Ate up with politics. I don't give a shite about jokes at a roast. Here, I'll repeat it for you... I don't give jack shite about a roast joke. I'm talking about the celebration (among some) that went on when Charlie Kirk was murdered. He got killed for words. Disgusting.

Were the deaths of Versace, Harvey Milk and Tupac celebrated? They certainly weren't by me. In fact, I took no joy in the deaths of the leaders of Iran. That it happened can get chalked up to FAFO. They brought it on themselves, but I found no reason to dance over the fact.

The same with those two nitwits in Minneapolis who FAFO out with ICE agents. Was I happy they died? No. Have I ever "celebrated" a death? No. Did I celebrate the people that little douchebag Rittenhouse in Milwaukee shot? No. They all tried to play games in the wrong place and FAFO.

Okay... Now I get to cosplay the mind reader. So you celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk, is that right? Figures.
Not only are you not a mind reader, but apparently the written word escapes you as well.

Because you’re arguing against a position I never took.

I never said “celebrating murder is good.” I said people’s moral outrage about jokes and reactions becomes wildly inconsistent depending on whether they emotionally identify with the victim. That’s why you've now immediately expanded into qualifiers, context, FAFO logic, “they brought it on themselves,” distinctions between celebration vs satisfaction, etc.

You literally demonstrated the point in your own post.

“The leaders of Iran? FAFO.”
“The ICE situation? FAFO.”

Notice how quickly the conversation stops being “all joy over death is disgusting” and turns into contextual analysis once the dead person is someone you dislike or blame for their circumstances.

That’s my point. Thanks for proving it.

Also, no, I never said I celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder. You added that because internet politics has mushed your brain into “if you criticize my framing you must secretly support the other side.” Disagreeing with your inconsistency is not the same thing as endorsing murder.

"A difficult distinction for you to make, I'm sure."

Not to mention the vast vast majority of the “celebrating” regarding Kirk’s death weren’t that. It was people pointing out the irony in his statements and his manner of death etc.
