    Why aren’t they supposed to be the moral pulse? I’m not saying they necessarily are but I think in order to be funny you need to empathize with others.

      The arts should be. There’s a standard that should be there, but these comments seems to argue otherwise…

If you want to throw that under the general umbrella of “the arts” in order to make appeals to lofty ideals then that is your right as a free thinking individual, but we both know the main reason you’re doing that is to try and make a square peg fit in a round hole.
