I enjoyed it at the time but given the current political climate cannot recommend to others. I continue to hesitantly and remorsefully enjoy, an indemnible stain on my soul.
Obvious cases are the transphobia portrayed at the end of Ace Venture: Pet Detective when Jim Carey's character reacted to the Chief of Poice having taken measures to conceal her physical gender identity, or the manipulating a blind child into buying a dead bird with it's head duct taped to the neck in Dumb and Dumber.
It comes down to respecting others and I get that. I consider myself a supporter of all well-intentioned human beings and intelligent species and entities at large, yet I still can't stop laughing about all kinds of immature stuff, including when myself or my spouse step in dog crap.
I'm sensitive but generally have tended towards trying to focus on self-acceptance and surrounding myself with people who are understanding but also won't put up with too much.
What should I do? Suggestions welcome.
One of my favorite cartoon shows (and the source of the technical term "yak shaving"), The Ren and Stimpy Show, was created by an emotional abuser who eventually became a rapist of underage girls. I cannot really enjoy the show the same way anymore, in light of this knowledge. It's not "cancel culture", it's a natural reaction to material that, in retrospect, is disrespectful or was created by horrid people.
They were jokes that informed our humanity.
