Imagine getting as worked up as ol' Goblikon, here, and then calling people who thought a comedy bit was funny "snowflakes". It's like someone begging you to acknowledge that they don't understand irony for a second time.

Just real quick, b/c I can't help myself: The snowflakes are laughing? The entire analogy is meant to allege that snowflakes don't do anything but melt down, because they're so fragile, right? And wtf is a "fake comedian"? Like Tim Heidecker's career doesn't speak for itself?

Humor is still probably the best weapon to defeat insular ideologies. You might get shot or beat up for using it effectively, sure, but omg the jokes write themselves.

Edit: yeah this is some Poe's Law shit, I can't figure out if John Gobz here is serious or not. But I know Joe is. And that's funny.
