Star Wars Kid was a critical juncture of the early web, and we chose the timeline where the web is a tool for mockery and bullying, instead of shutting that behaviour down in 2003 and blacklisting any "comedian" who considered him fodder for jokes.

Regular people can perhaps be understood though not justified for not realising how big the audience was they were mocking someone in front of; talk show hosts have no such excuse.

#this is the lesson i took from #joker 2019 #mocking someone in front of millions goes way beyond #punching down #you're not even punching at that point you're stoni g #early web #star wars kid #we were on the verge of greatness #the first thing millennials wrecked #with help from gen x of course #and maybe even some boomers i can't remember
