Who Pays?

And the guy on the far right doesn't care who pays as long as it's not him.

He'd probably already filed for bankruptcy last week ...? But I'm a little worried about whether the cancel culture will spread here soon and that Gordo will then be fired for "blackfacing", although this is definitely a purely graphic decision to put the figure that way to draw...

He's just in shadow - not blackface.

i am pretty sure, that you did not aim blackfacing for a second, but others too?

I apologize, if some people feels treated by trying to make a joke misusing a relevant topic, i am just still under the influence by a yesterday read article about some Monty Phyton-fellows, was it Jhon Cleese, who said (meant in sense): If you are always controlling, what you want to say, you are killing any creativity....?

Many comics made a living making fun of others, whether singly or in groups. With all the super-sensitive people around these days, wonder how these guys make a living. Can't anybody take a joke anymore?

Can't anybody take a joke anymore?

Either (with a) dry (martini) or with a scientific analysis like this from the Zürich University which „sound“ comes as a (dry) joke as itself on this matter:

With affiliative humor (related to others and benevolent) one tries to build a relationship with other people through harmless jokes. Self-appreciative humor (self-centered and benevolent) is used to strengthen one's self-image by maintaining a serene view of life. Aggressive humor (alien and harmful) is used to strengthen one's self-image by exposing and harassing other people. Self-destructive humor (self-directed and harmful) is used to create a relationship with other people by making yourself the target of ridicule…

I suppose since these are digital forums you could just change the whole image to blue or green and poof, the problem magically goes away until "green face" becomes a problem in the future - I suppose when aliens finally arrive and it's bad form to make fun of their skin color. <shrug>

As always with such important topics, the answers are to be found in Star Trek:

Gordo, that is either "impartial" or just "wet" humor...

...wonder what will happen, when that guy will go outside in autumn "singing in the rain"....

Star Trek, yes Gordo, maybe even Mr. Rogers.
