So, shall we all walk on eggshells around people's pweshus feelings, then, or shall we grow tougher skin and get over it?

I haven't watched these movies, so I can't say anything in regards to them in particular. But speaking generally:

Feelings are most certainly pweshus. I would venture that there exists nothing in this world more pweshus than feelings. Feelings are what make people work towards goals and strive to improve themselves, but they're also what cause people to give up trying. A movie, of course, is only a very small part of someone's feelings, but a hundred movies may make up a larger part, and shame related to those movies combines with shame from parents and teachers and schoolmates and bosses and clergy.

I've said before that I don't care about any objective definition of "funny". But speaking subjectively, things that are about mocking and humiliating people who look, talk, or act differently are a relatively small percentage of the types of things various people call "funny". Are they really important enough to need defending?

This is not to say that I'm against criticism, or even outright verbal attacks on things you think are wrong. But unless these movies speak some kind of deep truth, the argument that freedom of speech allows this kind of talk doesn't necessarily imply that this kind of talk is a net good for society, only that banning it would be worse. (Besides, if mocking's okay, isn't it okay to mock the people who find stuff like Family Guy funny?)

Or maybe the unfunny jackasses could grow a tougher skin and get over it when we tell them we're tired of their cliché old racist, sexist, etc. "jokes". Bigots are by far the most emotionally sensitive people I've ever met. How whiny and childish do you have to be to refuse to take any responsibility at all for the disgusting shit that comes out of your own mouth and then start crying about how unfair it is the second somebody else calls you on it?

It's kind of hilarious that you're so defensive about shitty movies; what's your angle, are you racist or a pedo or both?

Braumsie, it's less effective if you don't even bother to make an account, geez.
