Has comedy become too politically correct?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Has comedy become too politically correct?". Your opponent's style: Dave Chappelle

Comedy usually are not that serious, so when its come to policy something very serious, its could change a lot of someone's believes also his way of thinking, so if comedy and policy mixed, there's gonna be more enmity and Mockery, and possibly future failure. because the newies gonna be focusing on being funny more than being serious in way, so people won't be that serious about any subject, and possibly take it as a jokes, so in my opinion, i prefer it to be serious as it before.

Man, you got this completely backwards! You're worried about comedy corrupting politics, but look around - our politics is ALREADY a joke without the laughs! We got politicians tweeting like teenagers and making policy based on whatever gets them trending. At least comedians are honest about being ridiculous.You think comedy makes people less serious? Brother, people who consume satire are more likely to attend rallies, discuss politics, donate to a political party, wear political buttons and vote than viewers of traditional late-night comedy shows [1]. Comedy ain't making folks apathetic - it's waking them up! Your whole premise is backwards. The "serious" political discourse you're pining for gave us politicians who lie through their teeth with straight faces. At least when comedians roast these fools, they're telling the truth! When I see some politician getting clowned for saying something stupid, that's not mockery destroying democracy - that's accountability with a laugh track. Audiences of political satire have been shown to have more confidence in their political views and a better understanding of the issues [1]. Comedy doesn't make people take things less seriously - it makes them think harder about what deserves to be taken seriously in the first place. When someone's policies are so ridiculous they become comedy material, maybe the problem isn't the comedy - maybe it's the policies! You want people to be "serious" about subjects, but serious according to who? The same establishment that's been failing us for decades? Comedy cuts through the BS and makes people actually engage with what matters. That's more democratic than all your stuffy, "serious" political theater combined.

well, i hate policy stuff. let me be

Nah, nah, nah - you can't just tap out and say "I hate policy stuff" when you're dead wrong about comedy! That's exactly the problem right there - you think politics is some boring, separate thing that doesn't affect your life. But guess what? Comedy IS showing you that everything is political, whether you like it or not. You say you hate politics, but you're living in a political world, brother. Your rent, your job, your healthcare, the shows you watch - all of it gets touched by policy. Comedy doesn't make people care less about serious stuff - research shows satirical comedy engages viewers and makes them more interested in being politically active, increases information sharing and recall, and gives audiences more confidence in their political views and better understanding of issues [1]. You wanna ignore politics? That's your privilege talking. Not everyone gets to check out when policies affect whether they can afford insulin or keep their kids safe at school. Comedy forces people who think like you - "I don't wanna deal with this heavy stuff" - to actually pay attention to what's happening around them. Satirical comedy holds the key to creating a more informed, engaged electorate [1]. So when you say you hate policy, you're proving my point - comedy is one of the few things that can reach people like you who've tuned out of the "serious" conversation. Without it, you'd just stay ignorant while the world burns around you.
