Do you believe comedy allows to make fun of things and shouldn't be taken seriously or do you think there is a straight aim at ridiculing gaming and those who enjoy live streams of videogames?

I think ppl need to get over it and get on with their lives. If something like this seriously offends anyone then I am without words.

 

The jokes are fine for me but I think people getting tired of gaming being portrayed negative in the media that doesn't really care/knows much about it.  Guy kills other guy oh he played Call of duty their must be a connection because gaming makes people violent people. Then they make jokes about E-sports but at the same channel you see live poker tournaments and then this.  Honestly would be the same if I as an European would make a joke about how Americans are so dumb that they even call a game that you play with your hands American football.  That video would get a lot of hate comments because I as an European have no clue what American football really is can't even name a player.
