I feel like this would be much, much funnier if they were all quotes that sound superficially deep enough to be attributed to her, but fall apart completely if you actually think about them.

No, no single joke is worth that kind of censorship. When you start censoring what offends one group, then you’ll have to start censoring what offends ANOTHER group, and if you’ve already censored what those groups hate, it’d be unfair if you didn’t censor what offends Group C, and now you have a world devoid of any…
I think it is hilarious and could have written it myself. I have lived with gay roommates .. been to drag shows.. People offended by this are close minded.

Yeah you can. And you should be able to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying the word nigger if done in the proper context. Meaning you should be able to reference a time someone else said it, talk about the history of the word, or how it has affected people. But when you use it specifically to hurt someone…
Look, if I was a white guy and I wanted to cosplay as Jax from MK, how the fuck do you think I could do it credibly without adding a bit of spray on tanner? Cause otherwise I’d just be Cable from Xmen.
Spoiler Alert!
You do realize that “blackface” is actually an American phenomenon and is linked to the ridiculous practices of the American film industry in the old days. The concept is quite foreign in many other countries and painting your face any colour does not constitute racism. In my opinion the Americans need to realize that…
“Perhaps when racism is no longer a thing”
But ... but ... if you rage about it 10000 other SJW will like your tweets and for five minutes you’ll be happy again! D:
So what you’re saying is that he’s a dude, playing a dude who plays another dude?
