In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Blazing Saddles, The Guardian trots out an article with a cliche headline about how it couldn't be made today which promptly gets the redditoids seething .

But to the point of “everyone is too sensitive to make a comedy that discusses social issues Iike racism.” Uhhhhhh, what the frick are those people talking about? You 100 percent can. If all someone took away from those movies is “racism is funny” then maybe they don't understand why those movies were popular.

>actually Blazing Saddles was a movie that discussed racial issues

It was a comedy... not a woke film about the evils of racism.

>"racism is funny"

It is. When the sheriff runs into a nice-looking old lady who says, "Up yours, BIPOC!," it was funny because it was unexpected.

>"everyone is too sensitive to make a comedy that discusses social issues Iike racism.”
