honestly i clicked on that toxic link

and this i agree with 100%

As Jerry Seinfeld has said, he is opposed to adhering to political correctness in comedy. "I don't play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, Don't go near colleges. They're so PC." He has dismissed critics who point to the shows lack of diversity, replying, People think its the census or something, its gotta represent the actual pie chart of America. Who cares? Funny is the world that I live in. Youre funny, Im interested. Youre not funny, Im not interested. I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that, but everyone else is, kind of with their little calculating, 'Is this the exact right mix?' To me, its anti-comedy, its more about PC nonsense than are you making us laugh or not.

Salon also published pedophile-sympathy articles. No clue why anyone cares about their opinions in anything.

After reading the article it's pretty clear they don't understand that everyone in the main cast is supposed to be an asshole. You're not supposed to approve of a great deal of their actions. The ending of the show is dedicated to that concept.

I cant imagine their horror at shows like It's Always Sunny.

I had someone argue with me on here that It's Always Sunny was just edgy comedy that was offensive and tried to argue It's Always Sunny displays some of the main cast as being beacons of wisdom or morality or something like that. Despite the show clearly establishing that they're dysfunction is only normalized by them, everyone outside of them sees them as insane, which is the entire point.

I shit you not, some people are just that dense.

George: She hasn't replied to my text Jerry!
Jerry: well how long has it been?
George: since which text?
Jerry: you sent more than one text?
George: I wasn't sure if she received it so i sent a 2nd text
Jerry: THE DOUBLE TEXT?
George: yea yea...why what's wrong with that?
Jerry: you never send the double text!
*elaine walks in*
Elaine: hey whats going on?
Jerry: george sent that girl at the coffee shop a double text!
Elaine: THE DOUBLE TEXT!?
George: YEA THE DOUBLE TEXT...Everyone else sends the double text why can't i send the double text!?
Elaine: You NEVER send the double text!

Wait so doesn't that mean we should ignore this story? An opinion piece on a heavily biased website? That must mean negative nothing.

tl;dr

You realize it's possible to criticize an aspect of something while enjoying it right? Especially when it comes to old media? Like can someone not love Breakfast at Tiffany's while also thinking it's insanely racist in its portrayal of Asians?

In any case, literally everyone loves Seinfeld.

This. I enjoy some things that would be offensive as hell these days and would have no place if they were new. Like Bond slapping women and turning "Japanese". You know, because societal norms change. Not because of SJWs, but because that's just how the passage of time works. If shit was televised in 1534, people would be gasping at the social faux pas if they watched reruns decades later.

They also think HIMYM is offensive (link has SPOILERS)

https://www.buzzfeed.com/katangus/24-fucking-infuriating-things-that-happened-on-how-i-met

not all of it is SJW-related (i.e. #2), but stuff like #4 where barney says he sold a woman. obviously a joke but this (along with the other SJW ones), is taken extremely literally and we all have to freak out over it.

i mean holy shit look at #5 - people get angry when Robin or Lily wingman Barney because, as the quote below the image says, "why would they buy into his bullshit to get women" -- jesus fucking christ

#8 "who's hot and who's Scott" - THIS SHOW IS SO TRANSPHOBIC

smh
