I can't defend some of the jokes, but the entire thing to me had the
feeling of someone (or multiple someones) specifically looking for
something controversial because outrage is the only thing that gets
anyone's attention these days and I'm not sure that I like that.

This also feels like one of the early rounds of some friction that I've
seen predicted for quite some time, between the internet native
generation's attitudes that social media posts are communications in and of
a moment and not necessarily meant for posterity and the established
feeling that anything that gets committed to writing, photo, or video under
your name sticks with you for all eternity. Something is going to have to
give there, but I don't know what will give or what norms will be once that
happens.
