On the occasion of the discussion with Dimitris Piatas on the show “Morning in sight” of ERT, the Fotis Sergoulopoulos took a clear stand saying that through said “offensive” satire groups of people are being targeted.
“It’s a big difference when you say that you were satirizing people, politicians and they were happy about it and gave you awards, while at the moment there is a mood of some people who satirize some groups of other people and get upset. People on stage don’t understand that they get upset and continue to do so in a slightly aggressive way. Because you have played at Delfinario and it is not an arena, a colosseum where you put beasts to eat people” Fotis Sergoulopoulos said initially with Dimitris Piatas agreeing and taking the floor:
“You are right, Fotis. It is true and I know the issue that has arisen. Our times have changed. The artist is ahead of his time, but he never imitates his time. Our times are very hard. Yesterday I took my granddaughter Olivia to the cinema to watch a movie with her grandfather. I went to Zappeio and saw a Universal movie, which had bullying, negative heroes and villainy. It was completely anti-pedagogical education and the children saw violence. Then we look for why we have violence in schools. Let’s search with the responsibility that all of us who are in the chairs have. If I knew what movie it was, I wouldn’t have taken my granddaughter because she went to see a hard movie at the initiative of her grandparents.”
“They are mistakes. Our times have changed. Even morals and views change overnight. History keeps changing and diversifying… We have to be very careful and I try to keep my red lines and my innocence” also answered Dimitris Piatas.

His comments sparked a thought-provoking conversation with fellow presenter Dimitris Piatas, highlighting the importance of responsible humor in today’s society.

However, in recent times, Sergoulopoulos observed that satire has taken a darker turn, with some comedians and satirists targeting groups of people, often in a hurtful and aggressive manner [1].
