These days it appears that almost everything one says or does is going to offend some liberal snowflake that demands what you think, say and do, must conform to what they think is politically correct or they will target you, create an online lynch mob and figuratively hang you from a rope in an attempt to destroy you… not just online, but total and complete destruction of your life and in some cases your career.


Edgy Christmas songs offend those that see “rape culture” in the lyrics, yet they rarely complain about rap music that actually promotes raping women.  Liberal feminists and their #MeToo movement have men scared to say “you are pretty,” without fear of a shrew taking offense and claiming you are treating her like a “sex toy.”  Heaven forbid a white woman wears hoop earrings, or an Asian prom dress, or even braid her hair, liberals start screaming “cultural appropriation.”  Oh, and if you are white, have a restaurant that serves ethnic foods, yup, someone manages to get offended enough to accuse you of appropriating someone elses culture.


I have lost count of how many things offend liberal, social justice warrior snowflakes, from gender specific Happy Meal Toys to the U.S. Constitution, and just about everything in between, to the point where they will even start eating their own by becoming offended over social media posts that are decades old, from other liberals.

GENERATION SNOWFLAKE TARGETS COMEDY


For years comedians, both on the left and the right, have warned that political correctness would kill the art of comedy. Comedy, something that one used to put aside their politic ideological stances to just enjoy a good laugh without thought to political correctness. Now though, comedians have to walk on egg shells before daring to joke about….. well, anything, because it appears that liberals think certain topics are off limits and can never be joked about.


Comedians such as Mel Brooks, Jerry Seinfeld, Gilbert Gottfried, Dennis Miller, Daniel Lawrence Whitney (Larry the Cable Guy), Chris Rock and John Cleese, are all on record criticizing the demand for political correctness in comedy. Whitney saw this problem as far back as 2006, when he stated in a 60 Minutes interview “It’s gotten way outta control, you know. I really think that we’re at a point in this country where people really need to take the thumb outta their mouth and grow up a little bit and realize there’s a lot bigger problems out there than what a comedian did a joke about.”


In 2013, a writer by the name of Carl Unegbu even wrote a book titled “Comedy Under Attack: The Golden Age and the Headwinds,” which discussed “the challenges facing contemporary stand-up comics from outside forces, such as censorship arising from out of control political correctness and corporate interests……”


The most recent example of comedians under attack is Louis C.K., who dared criticize the loud-mouthed activists from Parkland, Florida, when they became the face of gun control after the high school shooting, where he blasted them and asked why he should have to listen to them.


Cue the liberal outrage.


Before that it was comedian Kevin Hart, not a conservative by a long shot, and who was chosen to host the Oscars, until he was forced to step down amidst liberal outrage after someone decided to dig into his social media account going back nearly a decade, to find “anti-gay” tweets going back to 2009.


Apparently some people have no life and would rather spend their time digging through almost 10 years of tweets just to cause an online outrage mob to terrorize a comedian for old jokes.

It Gets Worse: Now we see , that going back through 10 years of old joking tweets just to try to destroy a comedian, is nothing, as Bustle tops them by going back over two decades in order to proclaim their judgement that certain jokes from the  1989 to 1998 television show ‘Seinfeld’ are “super offensive now.”


Note that Seinfeld has been ranked as one of the best television shows of all time in publications such as Entertainment WeeklyRolling Stone and TV Guide.


Bustle writer Angelica Florio gets up on her high horse and declares “Thanks to more modern understandings of what political correctness entails — and why being PC is important — it’s less common these days to find jokes like the offensive ones that often played out on Seinfeld.” She then offers what she considers Seinfeld’s 13 “worst offenses.”


The Soup Nazi offends her snowflake liberal sensibilities because “in 2018 when groups of Neo-Nazis have become noticeably emboldened, using the term “Nazi” to label someone as a joke doesn’t sit so well anymore.”


The Indian Giver Joke “was never okay — and it’s definitely not okay now,” because it is a “racial stereotype about an oppressed group.”


Other so-called offensive shows include: Kramer Stomping On A Burning Puerto Rican Flag; The ‘Joke’ That Someone Thinks Jerry And George Are In A Same-Sex Relationship; When Kramer Has Houseguests From Japan Sleep In His Dresser Drawers; When Jerry Accidentally Gets A Man Deported; Cedric And Bob; When George Got Caught Staring At  Breasts; ‘The Chinese Woman’; The Joke About The ‘Pigman’; When George Pursues A Woman Because She Can’t Speak English; The Joke About The Handicap Spot, and; The Joke About George’s Girlfriend’s Big Nose.


The writer embedded each of the segments she criticized, which shows the Seinfeld cast, purposely created as a group of New Yorkers that are obnoxious, rude, narcissistic and clueless, without any political correctness whatsoever, which is what made them making fun of those same types of people so funny back in the 1990s, yet the criticisms leveled against the show now in present day are because they are obnoxious, rude, narcissistic and clueless without any political correctness whatsoever.


Duh, that was the whole point!


Evidently there is not enough happening currently to offend the likes of the Bustle writer, she feels the need to go back two-three decades to find things to be offended about, regarding a show that purposely depicted characters, for comedic purposes, with the personality traits she is now criticizing.
