This has a lot to do with the kind of SJW/feminist shit that is apparently being taught in schools and universities now.
There is such a thing as "intent" and shows like South Park and Dave Shapelle and Family Guy do poke fun of everyone, but the intent isn't to promote bigotry.
But that is not the same as speech that promotes hate, violence and oppressive policy.
I am very critical and blasphemous of lots of things, and nobody has a right to be free from being offended. But again, there is a huge difference between blasphemy and the sell of institutionalized fear of others.
