That's not mutually exclusive.

Youtube for some reason started pushing roast shorts to me. 90% of it just racist shit with an uncomfortable audience laughing. I hope they take me off that reel at some point, as they've removed the downvote button

I use these quite regularly and they've always worked just fine for me.
'Don't recommend channel' in particular has pretty consistently removed channels from my recommended list... (As long as I refresh the page afterwards)

Reporting also works really good for me.

Same with the list of 4 related shorts. No matter how many times I say no...boom there it is
knatschus 1 point 18 days ago
The biggest joke is the show less shorts button, i clicked that every month since it excist and like a clock they come back every month and when i search for a specific video it's difficult to find because every search is cluttered with shorts

Change your search to a video search. You'll actually get things related to what you're looking for.

My wife has been showing me TikTok videos of black guys asking things like, "guess what I do for work," and the responses are every bit as racist as you'd expect.
She thinks it's everyone making fun of racists and black people owning the jokes, but to me it looks like attempts to normalize overt racism.
tetris11 13 points 19 days ago
Yep. I keep seeing videos of some british guy going around asking international students / workers, "what's a word that you find hard to pronounce", and initially it's played off as cute, but after the fifth person, it's clear that he's doing it to mock them as he's pretty strong in how he corrects them....
there is a narrative to normalize this kind of "us first" behaviour...

You curate your YouTube algorithm by revising your watch history. Delete the initial roast videos you watched and it shouldn't recommend then anymore

If you're on Firefox or some random Chrome browser, check out BlockTube.

It's a brilliant analysis of the state of comedy and that it's now basically a tool for billionaires to uphold and propagate their agenda / world view and using Joe Rogan and his comedy space ship and podcast and circle as the vehicle
schipelblorp 10 points 19 days ago
Oh... so just like everything else.
Noel_Skum 4 points 19 days ago
That, I think, demonstrates the duality of roasting. You have to go for the obvious, the low hanging fruit but do it in a way that brings something else than just: duh-huh black, duh-huh gay, duh-huh ugly etc
The only roaster I’ve watched purely for his roasts is Greg Giraldo - a now dead, ex lawyer, drug addict who only got into comedy because he thought he could do better than what he was going out to watch.

History fact: he's holding what was called a "knave's axe". It was specifically used for tricksters - they'd give the victim a running start, and throw the axe. If the victim survived the single axe throw, it was considered divine mercy and the crime was forgiven. ::: spoiler Academic sources I made it up :::

This reminds me of the story about Triboulet, a jester for the king of France.
One day, Tribulet slaps the French king's ass. This makes the king so mad he threatens to have Triboulet executed if he doesn't come up with an apology that was even more insulting than than this prank.
Tribulet responded by saying: "I'm sorry your majesty, I thought you were the Queen!"
This provoked the king even further, so he condemned him to death. However since he had served faithfully for many years, the king offered him the choice of how he would die.
So Triboulet said: "Good sire, I choose to die from old age."
This finally made the king laugh, which led to him allowing Triboulet be banished from France instead of executed.

Speaking of Legendary, if you've ever played Balatro you can come across Triboulet as one of the five legendary Jokers in the game. All five are based on famous jesters and entertainers from history or media with their effects always being a reference to their story.
In Triboulets case he gives 2x mult to any played king or queen.

Rules
*� Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
*�️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
*� Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
*�️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!

King guy is so resentful he instructed the executioner to use the smallest, shittiest axe ever for a decapitation.
You know, make sure it takes a few very messy hits. Maybe he requested an extra blunt edge too.
