In the age of the Social Justice Warrior, it can be hard to know which demographic groups it\u2019s OK to make fun of and which ones it\u2019s not. Fortunately, we\u2019ve got media giants to give us some clues.<\/p>\n

Cartoonist Tim Campbell, with the Washington Post News Service & Syndicate, did just that last month, with his editorial cartoon depicting a sick little girl covered in spots, clinging to an IV drip. The title read: \u201cChildren of Anti-Vaxxers are Easy to Spot.\u201d<\/p>\n
