When you make a "joke" disparaging a group of people, it's not going to be considered funny if it's not obviously a joke or if it seems to be your actual opinion on the subject. You can't "joke" about hating Asian people when you actually seem to dislike them. Yeah, lets ban comedy podcasts! --- "The historian looks backward; eventually he also believes backward" - F.N.

That just further makes it feel like genuine contempt for another race. Have you ever watched a comedy podcast before? You realize its not scripted, right? Theyre mostly just riffing and trying to find something funny to say in real time. You cant expect a polished bit like his stand-up. --- "The historian looks backward; eventually he also believes backward" - F.N.

Clutch 09/17/19 10:50:19 PM #183	The Great Muta 22 posted... People cry about cancel culture yet all these comedians who rail against it seem to be putting out massively successful shows, selling out across the world, and even this Shane Gillis dude is acknowledged to likely benefit from the "outrage" against him. Almost as if the whole "cancel culture" thing isn't actually real or have any real life repercussions.... Most of the people who can afford to speak out against it are insulated from the repercussions. Its the up and coming people who havent yet established themselves who are vulnerable. Unfortunately if this keeps going we might not have another generation with the ability to speak up for whats right after this one. --- "The historian looks backward; eventually he also believes backward" - F.N.

Any time a comedian opens their mouth is not a stage. No, but a recorded comedy podcast most certainly is. So if a comedian recited the 14 Words and made a deadpan argument for why racial genocide is necessary to protect the white man, we are to assume it was a bit? Do comedians not have themes and gimmicks? They just do whatever they want for comedy? If they could make it funny, why not? Are they making it funny? "Being a comedian" makes speaking funny to you? Do you also laugh at Kevin James falling over while fat because he is a comedian and he is paid to be funny? Would it be funny and typical to his schtick if Kevin James recited an essay he wrote on how gays are an affront to God? Being a comedian seems like a bit of a curse. You could get pursued by a gunman and scream for help and apparently everyone would just double over laughing at your new routine. You really seem to be struggling with the concept of comedy.

Your job isnt being a comedian. If my job was kickboxer, could I kick people in the face whenever I wanted? It's my job. It's who I am. Writing "comedian" on your resume doesn't mean every word out of your mouth is a funny joke that is in no way serious. By this logic, a comedian can't say good things either because we assume everything they say is a joke, regardless of context or tone. You kick them in the face when youre in the ring. A comedian makes jokes when they are on stage or on a show. Thats their ring. Hows that logic work for you? --- "The historian looks backward; eventually he also believes backward" - F.N.

But so far, I haven't seen anything else come up. So it's not what I believe or don't believe. I haven't said anything one way or the other about this guy really. Just that the difference between their most recent hiring controversy and the previous one was that the evidence provided by cancel culture was she was being racist to a ton of different people whereas he was being racist to one group.

They assume it's yet another case of someone getting in trouble for what they said 15 years ago on Twitter. They aren't aware that this was from last year, and it wasn't a joke or comedy routine. The guy was just ranting about how he didn't like Chinatown and Chinese people. I'm not a fan of people getting fired for things they said a long time ago, but I feel like barely a year is close enough to face some consequences. You dont appear to have the full context.
