Yes, for the most part it is a good thing. To dehumanize or marginalize others isn't a good thing. It is often misunderstood though and misused.

This isn't people sitting together and having a beer. This is a media event.

In my experience usually the people that complain are the ones that are upset they can not oppress others anymore. Like they guy upset he can't beat and rape is wife because she is not longer 'property' but a 'human being.'

So having a joke about his fellow basketball player equals to raping and beating a woman ???

 

Might be an exaggeration, but it proves a point. Obviously, those two things are not one and the same, but Roy Hibbert was called out by some as a homophobe for making a joke like that, which is totally ridiculous. It feels like people can't make any joke without being called a homophobe, a sexist, a racist, a prejudist, etc.
