It's just so ironic since it was transgressive and offensive comedy then (twitter.com)

Monty Python wasn't all that transgressive for the time, barring a few specific gags. The most "outrageous" thing they did was to make fun of Catholics, which was perfectly acceptable in 1970's/80's Britain.

Ever seen Benny Hill? Or video/audio of the stand up Bernard Manning? Both very popular at the time, but I'll bet they'll never be shown on TV again.

Making fun of Catholics is has been perfectly acceptable in Britain since the 1500's, and it continues to be.

However, Martin Luther's teachings about a certain other group of people are not acceptable.

Richard dawkins was the guy slandered by regressive leftists as part of the elevatorgate nontroversy right?

He wasn't the guy, but he did speak out about it, saying the controversy was ridiculous.

Feminists screeched furiously.

Interesting note about Dawkins: he is generally regarded as the progenitor of the modern atheist movement/revival but has come to conclude that for most people religious belief is a bulwark against something more sinister.

I feel the last few years have really proved him right

I find those trigger warning horribly offensive, because they imply current times are any more civilized and cultured and the zeitgiest wont change in 5 minutes.
