Offending Vs Stereotypes
Offending (in comedy
or some shows too) can open the gates for creativity for sure and that is the
reason why censoring doesn’t help but when stereotypes are involved it is way
worse if you haven’t thought about the scenario well enough.
Stand-up comedians who can make offending jokes most of the time definitely are using creativity and doing the hard work to bring that creativity and put it on the table for artists. But comedians that joke about stereotypes, you have no reason to ask that your jokes are not given artistic values or sometimes people are censoring your content. Although censoring should not happen to any art, because then it will be projected as discrimination. But there is nothing lost when a stereotype is censored because it is a stereotype, it remains for a long time. When you have a great taste in art/comedy/movies/shows/music/writing/poem you can filter out what actually art is and what was a stereotype. Stereotypes are not actually hard to identify, you can predict what joke is going to come even before the joke is delivered, that is obviously pathetic art or a stereotype. But also there is something that we must not forget, that is entertainment. A lot of us enjoy watching things that are not artistic/well-thought-out/New but we still watch them because we know it is stupid. We love to watch something that is so obvious and stupid, yet we like to watch it because it is easy to digest, we get a chance to mock things, we like to laugh at stupidity, etc. So one way or another, it is your choice at the end, and also it is not a binary thing that people can only watch productive/creative OR they can watch only stupid. We do both.

The only problem actually with the stereotypes is actually the person who delivers the Joke based on stereotype will take the young generation 10 or 20 years back in time when the stereotype was relevant or in a sense we can say it took birth, And all the young minds watching it gets dragged into something that is a pathetic form of art which degrades the taste of that art.
OK, now this is not some promotion, but A great example to understand creativity is the “The odd 1st out” youtube channel the content is funny and the effort is really unquestionable. It is just a person narrating a story and the journey seems funny and relatable to you, but it is actually art not based on stereotypes but it actually is a creative approach.
