I hear a lot of "well, if you like THIS show (south park/family guy/american dad/the boondocks/so-and-so live comedy show/etc) you're [insert -ist here]", but that's not necessarily true. The above shows I mentioned are horribly offensive in various ways and I still find them to be utterly hilarious, and yet I'm definitely not the type of person to make -ist/ic jokes or find certain things humorous IRL.

To me, there's a huge difference between what's okay in comedy and what's okay IRL. I think Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks is *hilarious*, but I personally wouldn't condone his kind of behavior/thoughts IRL.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm an anomaly or if there are loads of other people out there who do/feel the same.

Saying someone is "-ist" because of the media they consume is an oversimplification at best, especially since most media is problematic in one way or another.

There is also a problem with telling other people what they should and should not find offensive. It's okay to voice your opinions, but in the end we all have to make our own decisions about what is a real problem and what isn't.

I also have a lot of respect for shows like South Park that basically say, "Look, we're going to make fun of everything because we're not going to try to pick and choose what is offensive and what isn't. We're just going to try to be funny."

Yes but

It's okay to voice your opinions

which we are doing.

I agree with you. I love those shows as well.

Sometimes I think that society as a whole has become to sensitive, and take things to personally. I think that people need to take a chill pill and relax. Just because someone makes an "-ist" joke doesn't mean you need to get your panties in a twist. People want freedom of speech but only if it is their kind of speech.

People want freedom of speech but they think speech shouldn't be criticized or else people are getting their "panties in a twist."

We have freedom of speech, but that doesn't translate to freedom from criticism.

It depends on ~why~ people like something.
I used to know a guy who loved Two and a Half Men because - according to him - Charlie was sooo cool and funny because he was "like real men should be".

I took the hint and distanced myself from him immediatly.

Context is everything. Someone isnt -ist because they like Family Guy, but a majority of the -ist people I know from college fucking love Family Guy.

I'd wager that a kid constantly surrounded by Family Guy humor would be more likely to end up -ist because, well... anyone who is made uncomfortable by that humor is clearly oversensitive, right? Faggot.
