POV: Stop Masking Crass Behavior as Dark Humor!

Nothing new here—this is exactly what Samay Raina has been selling from the start, and even his most-watched show revolves around this kind of content. 'India Got Latent' has frequently made headlines with its questionable humor, yet it continued to receive attention without much backlash. Why did it take this recent episode for people to finally react? It's a question worth asking ourselves.

Impact of Influencers' Inappropriate Humor:

As for Ranveer Allahbadia's comments, his jokes were far from lighthearted. This so-called influencer passed off inappropriate humor in an attempt to appear cool. While he has unconditionally apologized, the question remains—who is ultimately responsible for this kind of content? Influencers like him have the power to shape attitudes and opinions, and it's concerning that humor that crosses boundaries is being normalized under the guise of comedy.

Repercussions of Unfiltered Content on YouTube:

With YouTube being accessible to everyone and no real content filters in place, we need to ask ourselves: Can we really let our kids, whom we want to nurture with strong values and ethics, consume this kind of material? These influencers, with their massive following, have a huge impact, and yet continue to influence audiences with such content. When unchecked, this leads to the further normalization of insensitive and harmful jokes that can affect the younger generation's mindset.

There's no personal agenda against anyone, but this kind of content cannot be allowed to continue unchecked. Instead of simply criticizing the government, we need stricter regulations for online content to ensure it aligns with appropriate standards and ethics. Platforms need to take responsibility for the content they allow to be published. It's time for all of us to question what's acceptable, start holding influencers accountable for their actions, and work towards creating a healthier online environment that promotes respect, empathy, and responsibility. It's high time we have a conversation about the kind of influence we are allowing to spread online.
