Everyone is so offended.

[R Mutt]

Right to offence needs to be kept in check. It's simultaneously limitless at the discretion of the victim while subject to an arbitrary set of conditions depending on your stance in any given argument

And can be backdated to suit the offended

A fast food trailer with flames and the name Hell’s Kitchen is causing offence on a housing estate, apparently it has suggestions of the devil and hell.

The owner has stated that Gordon Ramsay never had this problem

I'm hoping the tide is beginning to turn and we can return to normalcy soon with regards to the offence culture.

Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr's latest stand up performances rip the cancel culture to pieces. It seems the solution is to not back down when people are "outraged". If you're not an easy target they seem to give in

First joke is a dud on purpose, stick with it

What is it that you want to make jokes about that you think you can't?

[anonymous-user]

I remember when Dave Chappelle was funny..

[ChocolateFrog]

Bill Burr must melt the minds of the terminally offended.

It's more difficult to call him out when he's married to a black woman.

I'm not a comedian so I'm not sure your question applies to me directly but I believe people should be able to discuss/joke about all subjects openly and honestly. I also believe people should be able to make mistakes in their life without being chastised mercilessly by an outrage mob operating on frontier justice justified by self righteousness. It's horrible to watch these stories unfold where someone is being attacked or marginalised for holding an unpopular opinion or making a mistake, mainly because of the lack of proportionality in the response.

So in direct response to your question I'm not even sure what subjects I can or can't make a joke about, it seems to change on a whim because "hate" is ill defined.

Been given too much protection by the likes of the EU proposing a ban on referring to non-meat products in terms analogous to the meat equivalent.

I respect that.

You get threads on here were people start a vegan diet and in a week miracles have happened.
Meat is good, mass produced meat is bad. But are concoctions made on an industrial scale by mass conglomerates really the answer to meatfree life?
I would rather spend my money that helps a tradition spanning millennia.

So not "offended" then,

Gotta learn to read.

Is it legal to call meatless tubes sausages?

The law states that to be called a sausage it has to contain a minimum of 30% meat.

Do meatless sausages have an exemption or are they breaking the law by calling them sausages?

[anonymous-user]

you can call some vegetarian sausage etc. Generic sausage don't have minimum meat context, according to google.

[R Mutt]

Interesting point about this enabling the real racists/ sexists etc.

Use of the N word in the context of highlighting words which you cannot say landing you in trouble is a prime example.

I try to focus on the fact that often outrage is sparked by 1 person's reaction on Twitter, but then that's all it takes to have a comment taken completely out of context and get you sacked etc.

People who make their living out of a product not happy about anti-product media campaign. Yeah, that's the same as being "offended".
