And even if it weren't, jokes are allowed to be edgy.
You can say fuck on the internet, as they say.
And I for one lived through enough of the 90s (all of 'em) that I don't care for this "must sanitize everything, think of the children" attitude just because it's suddenly coming from the left.
So yeah, fuck'em, communities are accountable to their members, not random mouthbreathers barging in demanding to be accommodated.
You wouldn't do it at your clubhouse and you shouldn't do it here, either.
Something I have really learned about the "sanitize everything, think of the children" types are that the huge majority dose not mean "protect the children" they mean "ban it for everyone, because I don't like it" and a lot of them don't even know what they want removed, they just looked at the cover and said "this is bad"
Or worse yet, they do it to establish that they have the authority to decide what you get to read/watch/partake in/enjoy.
It's a pretty fucking naked powergrab when people like Jack Thompson campaign to get games banned for being obscene or "localizers" censor content because they claim the culture they are localising for finds it objectionable, when really it's just them, and the target demographic wouldn't care or worse would actively prefer the original interpretation.
I still remember the utter shitfit some outlets pitched for Dragon's Crown.
