Re: Can someone explain this to me? (BBC Sherlock)

[(Anonymous)]

OP

No, I get that it's not funny (I even said it's not my type of humour). And yeah I'm on the outside looking in so probably don't have any right to comment on it, and maybe it just looks like it's gone from lurrrrrrve to hate overnight to me because I've missed a lot of the drama in between.

The thing is, if these people have trouble with a rape joke about hobbits and elves, wouldn't their heads explode if they listened to something like ten minutes of Bill Hicks or someone similar? That's what I don't get. I do think the whole SJW thing in a broader context is only leading to bad things, and this is only one example of it.

It's not what the guy said that nonplusses me (though I didn't think it was funny, personally) it's everyone's reactions, that he somehow doesn't have the right to say it, even though it's stupid, un-PC and over the line for some people. That's what I'm concerned about, in a broader context, not just BBC Sherlock, that's just an immediately convenient example.

Nayrt

Believe me these peoples don't watch or listen to anything outside of their tumblr echo chamber.

And meh I didn't think the joke was that funny. Not because it was a rape joke but because it just wasn't funny.

OP

Yeah, I'm with you, it was kind of stupid, which isn't my kind of humour, so I didn't find it funny. Could be you're right, tumblr is an echo chamber of SJWism, but I'm seeing a lot of this stuff seeping over into other forums (like here, with the commenters above, and in the thread yesterday), and even in RL, the last which really gives me the creeping horrors.

OP again

The other thing that puzzles me is, three years ago, the fandom would have been dying with laughter over a rapey hobbit elf joke out of Freeman's mouth. So it was OK then but it's not OK now and that's what puzzles me, if it is the exact same fans.

I'm not commenting on the rest (lacking background/context), but a LOT can change in three years to alter someone's perception of what is/isn't funny or okay. People aren't static!
