The Pub - Discuss Anything

Being offensive to people behind their back is a huge part of comedy that is accepted by society. There are thousands of TV shows just to make fun of politicians and celebrities and even random people often. While if those people were on the shows, the general opinion is that it would not be funny anymore but just mean.. Whether that is morally wrong or right is a discussion for another thread.

What kind of society are you talking about? In some parts of the world it is accepted to discriminate or persecute people for whatever reasons that aren't socially accepted, do you accept that? In North Korea if you make fun of your political leaders, you will get severely punished or killed. So are you using a social example that fits your argument while casually neglecting the notion of common decency and moral ethics, basically establishing the "others do it, why can't I?" habit of action. Which, may I add, is a huge reason why the society in general has become this cynical and hypocritical bubble we live in today.

FYI in many developed countries such words can be legally interpreted as humiliating, degrading and mental violence, actions for which in many societies a person can be held accountable in a court of law. Come back when you own a comedy show and have all the legal grounds to do so. Meanwhile just accept that your criticism towards me reeked of double standards.

EDIT: One more point I would like to make. Look, there is a difference between parodying people and straight up insulting and disrespecting them. The comedy shows you talk about mostly do just that - parody, while remaining respectful. The kind of comedies that simply takes a human being and stamps it to dirt, well, they may sound funny to you until you yourself become a subject of ridicule. Only bitter and miserable scum genuinely enjoy them.

Think about it, how would you feel if you found out that there is a whole thread dedicated to you in a forum, where its only purpose is to see how creatively people can mock your appearance. Would you think "well, this fucked up society enjoys it, so I better dig my head into the sand and take it from behind like a proper bitch."?
