If you want to call in to future episodes join the club: https://patreon.com/ammorningsDruski has white America screaming racist. A jury just told Meta and YouTube their apps may be doing exactly what people feared. And HBO made one casting choice that could change how Harry Potter reads forever.This week on AM Mornings we break down three stories that all hit the same question: when does “it’s just comedy,” “it’s just design,” or “it’s just casting” stop being an excuse?First, Druski’s conservative women sketch has the internet split. Did he cross a line, or are people only pro free speech until the joke hits somebody they want protected?Then we get into the Meta and YouTube negligence case. A jury said the design itself may be part of the harm. So who owns the blame when kids get hooked: the companies, the parents, or the people using the app?And finally we talk about HBO casting a Black Snape. Is the backlash racist, fair story criticism, or both? Because when you change a character like that, you do not just change the face. You change how key scenes read.At the end of every call we ask the same dilemma:If you could cure any disease in the world, but you had to live with that disease for the rest of your life, which one are you choosing?Drop your answer in the comments.
