That’s the problem in my mind. I’m 63 and I can remember when a murder was considered big news and the community I live in was 300,000 back in the early 70s. Today, no one shrugs if it happens. The fact that topics like this are mainstreamed means we’re becoming desensitized to these sorts of topics. Ask yourself this, if abortion is just a procedure, why has it never been televised like transplants, open heart surgery etc. It’s because people would see a human being reacting to being torn alive. I don’t find that very amusing but maybe I’m not as advanced as others.
I understand what you are saying and I tend to agree with it.
That said, as a child of the 60’s I was inundated with visuals of war. This was from TV (12 I’Clok High, Combat,etc) and Movies. The news was full of war. Our parents, uncles, and neighbors were “raised” in war.
I never thought War was a good idea.
Adults should be able to discern between satire and real life. When taken in its entirety l, the show (which is for adults) makes fun of just about everything and everyone. Some jokes fall flat. Others are funny. That’s why it’s entertainment.
I respect others opinions and feelings on the issue. There are many shows (especially on the streaming services) where I will just “Nope” out of when they get preachy.
