I’m happy to live in a world in which assfucking is becoming more acceptable!

I’m quite happy to live in a world where sexist and racist slurs are becoming less socially acceptable, while ass-fucking jokes are becoming more socially acceptable.

This is like the internet version of the diseases that briefly existed in the 60′s Haight Ashbury – since bathing was bourgeois they started picking up diseases that didn’t even have Latin names. (The itch, the dark stuff, etc.) We could call this one argumentum ad alteri themae — arguments about other subjects. One says, “shame on Castro for banning political speech”, the other says “What about the Sandinistas?” “They murdered Allende” v. “They murdered the Romanovs.” A certain event or point is just a rhetorical opportunity to mention something that’s on your mind, like “jokes about assfucking are vulgar.” He might as well be saying, “you should talk, you Palm Treo user, everyone knows that The Comedy of Errors is funnier than Talladega Nights!”
