For context, I've been filling in for a friend on a TV show I usually just write jokes for. This involves filtering a heck of a lot of terrible people saying terrible things. It gets to me a bit - gives me the hunted feeling that awful people are everywhere, pouring the creative fire of their bellies into this kind of useless petty stuff.
It's a bipartisan issue, and though SBS is a pretty left leaning audience, I feel like it's something worth saying.
Because my job involves walking the line of what people say and what people don't say, I'm pretty sure that at some point I'll say something that brings this kind of fury wave down on me and have to leave the internet forever. Part of me hopes that happens before people decide that the argument for "punching nazis is fine" extends to a broad category of nazi-Esque people, and slots me in there for a public lynching when I get a joke wrong one day, I figure I'll fight that social urge the only way I can. With mildly dirty jokes about cane toads.
