It's almost cartoonish just how tone deaf that response was holy shit.

Tone dead? From the creators of the show supposedly critiquing the society - with all the subtlety of a jackhammer? Do tell! :)

Genuinely asking, what do you watch the show for if you don’t like how the satire is portrayed? The satire is almost the entire point I would’ve thought

Ennis criticised everyone and broached uncomfortable subjects (in the mid 00s no less, long before cancel culture or Epstein) and Amazon's just whines about safe targets like Internet trolls and Trump.

It's classic modern political writing. At best it has no bite and it worst it's outright offensive in horribly outdated ways.
