I stopped reading at the “self censorship” complaint. The idea that Borat couldn’t be made today because everyone is too woke is ridiculous.

I mostly agree, but I don't think Blazing Saddles could get made today; whether that would be because people are offended at the language or offended at how it mocks racist attitudes is up for debate.

Yeah maybe so. I’m willing to let Blazing Saddles go though…

Yeah me too. If made today, Superbad! would be smeared on cable news as anti-cop propaganda.
It's like "Calling someone gay isn't fashionable anymore so what's the use!?"
