They could never get away with a movie like this today!

So is America becoming more politically correct? Say goodbye to entertainment and free speech.

I remember when Tom and Jerry use to have a stereotypical black woman and there was violence. Now look at it.

I'd say that it's more along the lines of there being more at stake when it comes to the entertainment industry, so your publishers opt towards less "Risky" writing and development so they don't lose out on potential consumers / ad revenue

It's not like they couldn't get away with it, it's that the people making sure they get on air don't want them to try it and fail and lose them money. This is why TV shows that are hits with ratings are generally shoved at us like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and why TV shows that are mediocre or gain a small cult following at best are cut off and canceled like it's going out of style

What about it? It's not tribal.

If you can differentiate between satire and racism then you won't go full sperglord SJW.

Which apparently SJWs are trying to ban Blazing Saddles. They weren't even born when a movie like that was made lol.

This is why I prefer independent forms of media. They don't care who they offend and they build a fan base around it so they can keep doing what they're doing.

satire can still be tribal
as the definition of satire is:

Quote

the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

*sigh* Got a source for that besides a search engine or youtube comments?

Lord Tony� · June 28, 2016, 01:52:14 AM

The only people that would take offense to satire are Trigglypuffs.

Do you want to be a Trigglypuff?

I believe the point he was attempting to make is that older is not necessarily better.

On another note: did anybody watch the 1776 one.
