Yeah, criticizing Pru for that line really requires removing one’s hinges, if one had hinges.
I heard her say that while watching, and thought about the phrase for a moment after. I reflected that it’s a jolly, funny way to express something that is said repeatedly on that show, which (put literally, with no humor) is that almost no one could always eat baked goods, especially not sweets, and not put on unwanted weight.
So I’d say:
1) It’s a baking contest show, about baking yummy baked goods.
2) The show has a good sense of humor, about baking, eating, and many other things.
3) The show also has at least as healthy an attitude, atmosphere, intentions and culture as pretty much any other TV show I can think of, not to mention the attitudes present in most other cooking contest shows (by comparison).
4) If there are people triggered by that line, I expect they’re going to be triggered by any baking show, have no balance, and to avoid being triggered, would need to be kept away from all screens.
5) I don’t even want to know what they thought of all the other things said in humor in that series! Not that much of anything said in that series deserve that sort of criticism either.
I think criticizing Pru for saying that requires not getting Pru’s sense of humor, and/or detaching one’s critical capacities from one’s wisdom, sensibility, humor, and/or humanity. I think it’s going WAY too far with criticism, and is just absurd. Worthy of an SNL or Monty Python sketch, even – the critic who looks for the most innocent thing to criticize, would criticize that line in that show.
