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?)
