It certainly has destroyed some forms of comedy because of the risk that someone will be offended on behalf of somebody else. That’s the thing I don’t understand. How can you be offended on behalf of somebody else? Do you know what they think? Can you read their mind? What if they weren’t even there? I worked with a delightful gentleman from Kenya. He had a wicked sense of humour and regularly bagged me for being racist because I insisted on black coffee. We were pretty good friends during our work life together. We worked on multiple jobs, me as the draftsman and he as the project manager. One day he came to me with one of my drawings and said, “I don’t like that colour.” I replied, “You can’t say that.” He responded with, “Why not?” I said, ” That’s racist.” Everybody in the office sucked in a big breath, but he laughed and agreed. He still insisted on changing the colour. The boss hauled me into the office several times because other people complained about how I spoke to him. No one ever complained about the way he spoke to me. He never complained. It was always a third party who was offended on his behalf. The funny thing is that I carried on the same type of banter with everyone else in the office, but I only ever got complaints about how I spoke with my Kenyan friend. It seems that there is always someone who thinks they know better than you about how you should behave. And yet some are prepared to manipulate you into doing things that are not for your benefit. They’ll use all manner of psychological tricks and propaganda techniques to get you to do things that will not benefit you. They’ll often couch those messages in a way that seems like there are benefits for you while hiding their true intentions. But do you know that, for some of them, you can turn the tables and make a solid income by exposing their rubbish? Find out how here https://go.wm-tips.com/revenge.
