So not sure if this has been discussed but in Ricky Gervais new Netflix show called Humanity, he makes a "joke" about why he doesn't have kids. In this "joke" he talks about how he lies a baby down to sleep and the "oops baby is dead" he then goes on to act as if he is holding up the dead baby and then proceeds to throw it on the ground and starts to kick it all the while the crowd laughs??
Could this be part of trying to normalize this sort of behaviour?
The next one that sickened me even more is he goes on to "joke" about people that pester him while he's working. He says "So here I am working away and this pesky bloke shows me a picture of his 8 year old daughter and there's 3 ways I could react to this.." he describes two of them and then the third one is quite sickening he says "Well I could look at the photo for a bit too long and start thinking, oohh, oohh she's quite a pretty young girl, mmm" he then starts to bite his lip and act as if he's being aroused by the photo.. WTF!! That shit ain't funny and yet the crowd loves it!!
He also makes a reference at the start that the place he grew up in is now filled with murderers and pedophiles he says "well it was filled with pedophiles until the murderers killed them all.. well not all of them, but most of them.. there's still a few there.." Still a few there?? What pedos does he know in his old town??
This was all rather sickening and I feel it's being made acceptable because he is meant to be a "comedian" WTF is funny about joking about kicking dead babies and being sexually aroused by a photo of a young girl??
So after reading this tweet that links Ron Howard to all this and says watch for anyone speaking out against Trump.. then I spot this tweet from John Cusack that of course Ricky himself liked..

I don't think you understand the purpose of dark comedy. The jokes aren't made for normalizing the actions, they're to lighten people's seriousness surrounding every waking minute of their lives. If I make a 9/11 joke, does that make me a terrorist? If I have a shark party when a shark kills one person, does that make me a trans-shark?
The whole point of his joke is that he never wants to see kid photos. How much of an explanation do you need? You don't have to think it's funny to see he's not trying to normalize anything other than stopping parents from sharing photos of their stupid fucking kids. This is over-sensitivity, sir.

So he's trying to make us see the light side of kicking dead babies? Yea.. the thought of kicking a dead baby around the room just brightened my shitty life...

you are full blown retard. in a half hour without outside influence a smart fag could 100 percent trick you into suckin his dick.

Are you psychic?? I actually just sucked three dicks on the way to work and didn't even realize till I actually got to work and wondered why there was jizz on my face!! Crazy world we live in..
Neinlife ago
there is jizz on your face because you did forgot to clean up the work place. unprofessional, but forgivable with a busy route.
