I like Fox's point that we seem to be in a place where we've gone too far. There absolutely is a 'line', a zone we should try to be in of just common decency, where you're considerate of other people and what they have going on, and they do the same for you, whether that be about appearance, gender, orientation, race, culture, ethnicity, all of that. The problem is we left that line and zone of common decency way back there and we're about 25 miles inside the border of insanity over this stuff. A place where you literally cannot tell a joke, even a universally funny line, without risking offense and some 'movement' trying to literally kill you and destroy your life. For example, if someone weighs 400lb and we tell them they need to get healthier, we're not 'fat shaming' you, we're desperately trying to help you live as a fellow human! Unless we start being real with people, we'll never really change or help anyone.
