Don’t let the do-gooders and woke folk stop you laughing.
We live in a woke, cancel culture where the old schoolyard adage of “sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me” has been turned on its head and words – uttered innocently or without malice – can still ruin the life of not the victim, but the spokesperson. Offence – is literally a lethal weapon in character assassination, and it is used to suffocate that most basic of human rights, Freedom of Speech.
Is it the media, is it social media, or is just that the noisy minority can now have sway over the silent majority?
At SubtleTee, we appreciate that people can take offence at the spoken word but they can’t take offence at an illustration which is subtle, cryptic, and inoffensive – unless of course you know the meaning behind the illustration. If you do know the meaning, then you’re 99.9% likely to have a sense of humour and a light, relaxed attitude to life. So, cheers to happy days and fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.
