WKUK really does look bad out of context. Or in context. Or whatever, I love that show:

Wkuk, always knew when to stop before they crossed that line. 👍

I don't think they did always (e.g. they dunked on women a lot), but I think their intent was to be more of an absurdist comedy using some known tropes to bond their audience (e.g. in 2000s, where women were dunked on a lot in popular media or portrayed in anti-progressive ways) rather than to propagate the trope itself.

WKUK were very anti-authoritarian, so I give them slack if they messed up along the way and punched down from time to time.
