How did we somehow become more prudish?

What the fuck happened?

Over saturated ourselves in media and made us every possible kind of crazy

Those that hated prudes became prudes. Because of this they picked up some aspects of the old prudish culture.
Even if they don't know it

We swung from "Family Values" prudes to "Sensitivity" prudes

No, they'd probably be able to get away with this. Not sure about the panda rape though.

One for my Baby

Family values and moralfag conservatives learned to put a sock in it for the most part. They still exist, just not as much as the sensitivity prudes of the left

and unfortunately, the fv prudes were keeping the left prudes in check

The moralfag people were so much fun with their insane shit. " This R rated movie is unsuitable for children!"

>This happened when public shootings wasn't as common as it is today

Literally a different time. I think the writers would be too depressed to reference another school shooting.

>conservatives cried about family values
>liberals cries about micro-agressions

What a weird shift.

To be fair in regards to OP, there weren't mass shootings on a near-monthly basis

>No longer an amusing reference to thriller movies
>Now a depressing reference to last Tuesday

Gee, I wonder OP.

I ger it

...

Ya gringos are pussies

Yeah, when those bodies were found hanging over the overpass to a resort town in Mexico tourism took a bit of a hit

Pussy Americans. Learn to live with violent bloody cartels controlling portions of the country

>The mailman shoots back
That was the funniest shit.

>Family values and moralfag conservatives learned to put a sock in it for the most part.

people stopped giving a shit about family values when every politician that uses it as a talking point. They end up getting caught doing gay shit or diddling some kids.

this.

South Park did a good analysis of it in their season finale. The prudish millennials of today are the kids of conservative prudish moms from the '90s. They just are prudes about different things.

you can't show someone beating up a president either

Fuck off leaf

t. a leaf who wishes he could soar like an eagle

I think a big part too is the greater prominence of libertarianism on the right. It's a little hypocritical to say the government should have less regulation while at the same time wanting the government to regulate expressions of free speech.

...

>weekly mass shootings
The kind you're thinking about happen every few months. And they kill very, very few people compared to the more ordinary gun violence perpetrated by inner city gangs, who kill an order of magnitude more people every single day. What's more, the overwhelming majority of the victims are black. You'd think that would be something people would be concerned about: rampant gun violence, primarily targeting blacks. But no, it's not sexy news because white people aren't squeezing the trigger. There's no guilt for you and your friends to get off on, except the vague, unsatisfying "we're responsible for everyone in society" kind that probably sounds arrogant even to you.

It's just weird to me how in the George W. Bush era, the Republican stereotype was god-obsessed Christian rednecks.

Now I don't even know what the fuck Republicans are anymore but they're not that.

You can probably get away with it in a cartoon still. Trumpfags would probably get their vaginas blasted by anything less than total worship though, as per usual

Trump destroyed the Republican base, now it's anything goes. A billionaire TV celebrity became president while totally disregarding the culture of political correctness and generally being a complete oaf. If a lunatic outsider like Trump can be president then all bets are off. Whoever can create the biggest media circus wins.

Social media, I am thoroughly convinced that most of this shit can be traced back to the rise and dominance of social media and specifically the media's increasing dependency on it. The prudish social justice and out of touch types existed 25 years ago but they were generally mocked. Politicians who pushed that stuff were hated and outside of the Joe Liebermans and Tipper Gores it was mainly limited to college campuses. Whenever college leftist PC shit tried to peek out into the mainstream it tended to get shit on. Even 5 or 6 years ago you could make an edgy joke without the weight of the world coming down on you.

The problem is that social media allows everyone a voice and everyone to give instant feedback and the loudest voices have always been the college leftists; this goes back centuries by the way since in the 1800s in Europe and stuff most of the revolutionaries and people who would march in the street and stuff were usually... radical students who often espoused far-left ideology (proto-socialism, then socialism, etc.) and were very much focused on the social issues of the day which were mainly class-based.

But the realignment of the media towards embracing and then relying on social media and devotion to the God of Clicks means that when the PC types cry on twitter it's going to get picked up because most journalists nowadays are lazy and why research a story and come up with your own takes when you can just sum up someone's tweets and then repost the tweets in question? To say nothing of the fact that nowadays most stuff is copied; used to be you'd have a news wire like Reuters or AP for things and then the papers/media companies but now one site like Buzzfeed or Vox (or Breitbart or Daily Caller or something if you're on the right) posts something and everything else just copies and pastes it or pastes what they feel are the relevant bits while adding nothing otherwise. Combine it with most of the modern media being liberal and well...

You don't fuck with the mailman.
Neither snow, nor hail, nor rain of bullets shall keep them from their allotted duty, isn't it something like that?

Yeah but you expect gun violence in the hood. I wouldn't go to South Chicago because I know the risk of getting shot is there. I expect a few shootings in a shitty part of town that's plagued by gangs.

A bunch of people at a mall or a supermarket being deliberately shot by a lone psychopath is a different beast.

Yeah man, fuck those guys who voted for SMALL HANDS CHEETOH HITLER BLUMPF. Liberals would, of course, react with measured calm and take it in stride if a cartoon aired where Obama got beat up or was treated as anything less than Mulatto Jesus.

>Trumpfags would probably get their vaginas blasted by anything less than total worship

Like the moth to the flame.

Gripskididdly

Pretty sure most of the gang violence (which isn't anything new, not like this didn't exist in the '90s or '80s) gets classified as "mass shootings" too since the definition of a mass shooting is literally anything where two or more people are shot. Of course with a lot of liberals being anti-gun and most of the media being liberal this gets lumped together as a general number of "mass shootings" putting Chicago gangs fighting each other for turf or in drug deals gone bad or Mexican gangs being fucking lunatics (as Mexican gangs tend to do) in the same category as someone like Paddock.

Very disingenuous and meant to set in the person's mind that most of these Adam Lanza style shooters and not, say, LaDarius and his boys getting retribution for an earlier attack by DeShawn and his boys who were likely getting retribution themselves and on and on.

This.

Mass shootings are a thing now. It's sad how used to it we've become.

>It's sad how used to it we've become.
This is hilarious to me considering how desensitized to death people used to be

@97897757
Must be nice to have a point that can be proven by people responding to you

Hello fellow "I really wish America would annex us" leaf, I want sum of those good gun laws.

I want that Great Power arrogance

Yea it's almost as if some people believe humanity should be continually progressing and improving and we as a species should strive for something more than chopping each others heads off and shitting in the woods until a new plague exterminates us.

...

Snowflakes would get angry cuz you hurt their feewings by making fun of an oompa loompa.

Yeah, and look at the absolutely shitpit """progress""" has gotten us into

We'll have to swap that out for Trump with the way things are going.

if you like it so much just move there, ya goofs

Legitatemly this, plus Columbine, plus that nightclub, plus Boston Marathon bombing, plus Las Vegas shooting, plus plus plus plus.

We are no different than other eras. Before, there was the era of TV with drugs PSA because of how high the usage was, we had to have Sonic teaching kids not to smoke crack. Then we had people bitching about the overuse of sex on TV because teen pregnancy was on the rise. Now it's terrorism.

it's STILL a useful stereotype, but as just ONE of many

unlike democrats who only really have one
( youtube.com/watch?v=TwksC5VNEh8 ), the republicans have a curious multitude

wanna make a list?

i'll start

- anti-pc kekistan shitposter
- spoiled blonde chick a la tomi lahren
- literal neo-nazi
- obvious russian redditor with throwaway account

It's not that easy, if you don't have a skill that makes some company specifically want you and be willing to go through a ton of paperwork to get you over there your only other option is marriage, I mean sure I could probably drive on over there for a few weeks and meet some absolutely desperate lazy eyed 30-something year old in the mountains and have many web toed children with her, but that's not exactly a great life to strive for.

Does anyone ever see stuff like this and their mind goes to random places like, how many fucking videos and photos we have of this event and that was during the beginning of the internet boom? Like, I can't even fathom if the same attack were to happen now, how many videos would spawn from it just because every single person in the country has an HD camera in their pocket now.

That's why you cross the border illegally and go to a Sanctuary city to avoid ICE.

...

>"You know what I say Peter, with great power comes the great responsibility of murdering every last kike."
Raimi probably wouldn't get away with shit like this today

But then how would I completely legally buy myself dozens of nice guns that are banned in Canada for absolutely no good reason.

How did this even start?

I guess you're too young to remember the phrase "going postal"

There was a line in the original Spider-man movie where Peter is in the cage match with a wrestler who taunts him with "nice outfit, did your boyfriend make it for you/" and some guy on Sup Forums went "it was a different time" and then it just started the whole fake quotes and reactions to them as a kind of parody to the outrage over that pretty harmless gibe.

you can do that in california

hell you could shoot someone and as long as you're tan enough and you mumble something about american oppression and drumpf in spanish you can get away with it

It all started when /new/ had to be purged since m00t was worried it will become the new Stormfront. And yet here we are.

It started by Sup Forums being the worst shithole that ever existed

>California
Fuck that communist shithole with it's ten round magazine limit and absolutely retarded "no pistol grips on rifles" law, I wanna be in Utah where I can buy a real AK variant instead of some weird hipster Czech AK wannabe with pinned magazines

You have a greater chance of being attacked by a pit bull than dying to a mass shooter in America. Mass shooters are simply too uncommon for them to put any kind of statistical dent in a country of over 350 million people. Most people in the United States will never be witness to gun violence in their lives.

>implying you have to follow the rules if you immigrate illegally

Diddly.

I agree.

It's not that I'm scared of being shot, it's that it's not something we have been culturally desensitized to.

Gun nut or gun control advocate, you hear about a gang shooting accidently hitting a kid and you think "This is the sad result of gang violence."

You hear about a school being shot up and you think "How could this happen?"

I hate to reference this because it's such a edgelord thing to do, but the Joker makes a reference to this in The Dark Knight:

>Nobody panics when things go "according to plan"... even if the plan is horrifying. If, tomorrow, I say that, like, a gang-banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because "it's all part of the plan". But I say thatonelittle old mayor will die...and everybody loses their minds!

Society expects and is desensitized to certain types of violence, but sensitive to others. After all these shootings, there's always someone saying "This kind of thing isn't supposed to happen at a mall/school/bar/concert."

...

Remember when snowflakes got mad Obama was drawn as a ape?

no

>we ain't found shit!

Yeah, you seem to young to remember.
There was also the New Yorker cover of him in traditional muslim dress that triggered snowflakes

Do I look like a spic to you?

You mean the cover based on conservatives losing their shit and getting triggered over michelle and obama doing a fist bump. Making it seem like it was some terrorist hand gesture?

>We now live in a West where someone is more likely to be socially ostracized for even questioning trans-identity than if they filmed themselves shitting on a statue of Jesus.

What a time to be alive.

The difference is that mass shootings kill white people. White kids, even. There's no more horrific crime in this country than killing a white person.

>We now live in a West where someone is more likely to be socially ostracized for even questioning trans-identity than if they filmed themselves shitting on a statue of Jesus.
>people still think that college liberals with mental illness are relevant in shaping society

You people are funny.

I really, honestly, from the bottom of my heart believe that twitter ruined the world in terms of political and social climate.

Wrong

For the left
There's the black militant black lives matter protester
Antifa anarcho communist
Sjw
Soy boi nu male
Gay pride flamboyant gay guy
Pussy hat feminists
Reddit Bernie fanboy
And recently the tranny acceptance movement
plus many more

Outrage culture. More and more people like Helen Lovejoy showed up and complained, and networks made the artists listen.

a lot of these are redundant.

No, I mean the cover the left lost their shit over for putting Obama in a bad light even though the artist was targeting conservatives moralist.

sounds like fake news.

Not really
You forget the fight between BLM and antifa?

npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92547497

This is correct.

BLM is a dead movement and antifa is a joke, why the should I care about either of the two groups feuding.

It doesn't matter what you think of them
What matters is they are associated with democrats

>What matters is they are associated with democrats

Says who? right-wing propgandists?

SO it is the cover based on conservatives getting triggered over obama and michelle doing a fist bump along with all the fear mongering that came with it.

They said so themselves while attacking right-wing republicans.
The protest against free speech on YouTube shows many examples of this.

Nope, it's a cover poking fun at conservatives but instead triggered the left and the white house.

Why would conservatives care that Obama is drawn as muslim?

>The protest against free speech on YouTube shows many examples of this.
>free speech

I love how you just say free speech. And not the content of the speech. Typical.

BLM sure, but Antifa absolutely does not want to be associated with democrats and the feeling is mutual. Many communists deride "liberals" as much as Sup Forums.

>Why would conservatives care that Obama is drawn as muslim?

Probably because conservatives spent 8 years trying to convince the american people that he was a muslim born in kenya. Or did you just crawl out of you dad's nutsack?

I said free speech because that's what the rally was called.
I like how you ignore my post and only focused on the "free speech" part
Keep grasping at straws

And a drawing by the New Yorker confirming this triggers them how?
Present a argument anytime now

You deserve a (you) for this. TLDR for most I'm sure.

I thought Flanders was left handed?

Because the "attacks" were instigated.

>hold "free speech" in liberal/college area
>rile up liberals
>instigate fights
>blames said fights on liberals/antifa/ what ever boogeyman were shilling this week.
>repeat

Only an idiot would actually believe it.

Antifa is against conservatives and others like them.
In the American climate there is only two sides that matter.
Whether they like it or not they are associated with the left and democrats
