Their jokes about assigning gender to babies and to being transgender, dressing in drag, like all of it was a send-up.
Sure, they did punch down if you were a person who were in those groups, but the fact that it was large enough social event to be relevant enough to be a comedy skit on a television show or a movie seen by millions implies that there were some serious things going on back then that they could see and wanted to address.
What the hell was going on that put all of those things in their mind?
This is why the whole woke thing is so stupid to me.
“I’m sick of Hollywood putting DEI bs in my movies not like the old days!”
The old days: “Come see two men dress as women to escape the mob!”
Meanwhile Mary Poppins (made in the 60’s) straight up has a banger song “sister suffragette” and signs for women’s suffrage in it.
“Disney has gone woke” has to be the stupidest thing to say, they’ve been woke longer than I’ve been around.
Was that nuns on the run
Since this is a comedy thread, I’ll paraphrase John Cleese.
The great thing about anger is that it really works. It makes you physically stronger and less likely to feel pain. If you’re angry all the time you aren’t worrying about things because you’ve got a target to go after.
I’ll throw in another comedy classic.
The musical “The Music Man” is about a conman who gets the whole town in an uproar over a pool table.
