Could The Killing Joke even get published in today's climate?

Regarding the cover change to Batgirl. Apparently, people must now be treated as though they are just a few moments away from psychological crisis. Art is dangerous, provocative, making people too uncomfortable. Didn't comic books already go through with this kind of absurdity with the comic book code?



Assume that The Killing Joke was not released until today - if SJWs got word of the content, could you imagine the drama and the pressure they'd start to pile on in order that content can be changed as they like?



'You can't have a woman be a victim or be vulnerable because that's misogyny. Someone reading might have experienced something similar and it will be 'triggering'.'



People go through ALL sorts of adversities that are dramatized in some form. Working in a job where we take customer comments on what's on the television, I'm telling you that everything and anything can and will be found offensive and/or triggering. That self-harm storyline in that soap? Don't do it because I have been through/know someone that has been through/am concerned about others that have been through this and don't want them to be 'triggered'. I have taken a comment, **** you not, where the viewer was like -



'I know there was a warning before the programme about violent content, I know the programme was on after the watershed, but there still should have been an explicit trigger warning'. I mean it wasn't called a trigger warning but there was a warning, not just before the programme, but before the scene! They warned the viewers TWICE and people still write and call in to complain. You cannot win. You cannot bow to that kind of idiotic pressure and change content to please over-sensitive people that are apparently not a discerning, adult audience.



The fight for free expression and speech is also being fought in video games through the movement GamerGate. 'That video game woman is too sexy - change it!!'



No. People should be able to create what they want without this censorship by mob.
