What I mean is this: People love to say that sort of thing about the stuff they personally don't find offensive, in response to people who are bothered by the same stuff. For example, if conservative groups are complaining about sex on TV, the response often is something like "don't watch it if you find it offensive", etc. But does that same argument work for something you DO find offensive, such as racism or sexism, for instance? In other words, is racist imagery in music OK because "if you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it?" I'm not defending either position, I'm just wondering about the inconsistency... |
