Sounds like you got offended there. It's a short hop with eyes-closed from "offended" to "moral condemnation".

Our greatest artists and thinkers have been condemned throughout history. Censored too. Consider that.

Offended no, it's hard to take it that serious. But yes, I do disagree with blatant racism and child sexual abuse. And I don't think it's particularly witty or edgy even.

>Our greatest artists and thinkers have been condemned throughout history.

Our greatest artists and thinkers were typically not nazis or child molesters.
