Dark humor itself isn’t the issue, however a majority of the people who claim they have “dark humor” are actually just massive bigots who don’t want to be called out so they mask their hate as thinly-veiled “jokes”
Or maybe most people are missing the concept behind a concept album.
The idea behind Slim Shady is that he’s a shitty person. Like BoJack Horseman, or Rick Sanchez. They’re entertaining, and the content surrounding them is great. But the point of it is realizing that they’re horrible people.
The response of people saying his offensive remarks also missed the entire point, just like people who support the characters mentioned above
EDIT: also, if you think that quote you put in your response is meant in any level of seriousness, you’re deranged..
“Black transgender Klan member…” like, really? It’s ridiculous from the setup.
EDIT 2: you being pissed off is the entire point.
By all means, be pissed off. It’s entertaining to see people react in the expected way.
But just realize you’re upset at a character, rather than a person.
It’s like being pissed off that Cartman said some fuck shit and you blame it on the South par writers…. That is to say, fucking stupid
It’s a concept album where Marshall is battling with Shady. Theres a lot of fucked up shit, but the idea behind it is that it’s a fucked up character saying it, much like Cartman in South Park (which he directly talks about on the album), but he directly acknowledges that this character/version of him is fucked up.
In this particular case however, he basically just says “I support trans rights, I’m just not sexually attracted to trans women” in a very crass way, as is his style
