What that whole fiasco is intended to do, is socially engineer society to not tolerate jokes.
Why?
To crack down on free speech. Jokes have been tolerated for centuries as a form of free speech. It’s through jokes that even some offensive things have been allowed to be said, because it’s intended to be funny and not a serious statement.
But this fiasco wants people to not tolerate jokes anymore as a form of free speech.
Because if you don’t tolerate jokes, you won’t tolerate a lot of things when it comes to people’s free speech.
Let’s say you tell a transgender person, “I personally don’t believe men can be women, it’s not biology.” And you get a fist to the face.
Or “It’s they/them? Huh, that doesn’t make sense.” And you get a fist to the face.
This is just a slippery slope down the eradication of free speech, and acceptance of hate speech laws designed to strip people of their right.
