Conservatives whine about being "censored" when nobody wants to hear their racist quips or whatever.

Because they're upset society ain't having their shitty opinions and think deplatforming is the biggest insult to the 1st Amendment.

Nobody is being censored, they're just being called out on their shit

They're usually talking about bitchy dweebs trying to get them deplatformed. Whether it's getting them kicked off social media, a streaming platform, a web hosting platform, or even a payment processing platform.

The only thing Ive heard comedians complain about are SJWs trying to decide what others can and cannot find humorous.

Probably because a lot of comedians tell jokes that would be considered offensive to someone so when they see others being censored for being offensive it hits close to home.

What comedians (at least 2? or more) are concerned?

Jerry Seinfield, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervias are just a few off the top of my head.

These. You don't have to be a right winger to be concerned about sensitive people censoring comedy. Bill Burr is another who talks about it too and he's an admitted "lefty".

Actual humor requires more risk and work, and we can't have that.

Fair enough, but I think everything you said is wrong and I hate you and you're crazy.

Its not that it has. Its that theres a very vocal crowd trying to do so. The only reason Chappell and Burr havent been dragged is because they dont have dirt to dig up.

Right wingers exaggerate the various problems of SJWs, yes, but I don't know why certain folk act like SJWs don't exist at all.

so "dragging" someone is the same as "censoring" them now?

I'm not pretending that they don't exist. I'm suggesting that there isn't actually any precedent for what you're saying they're trying to do, i.e. that you're making stuff up

Depending on what you count as censorship, Dick Masterson is a recent example of a comedy show host who was effected by sensitive busy bodies.

Specifically, they went after his payment processing so he couldn't make money from his show. I think that is a type of censorship, in that you're trying to silence someone by making it economically impossible for them to continue.

"They came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a jew" type of deal.

The jokes they tell will eventually offend someone's sensibility, making it impossible to do traditional comedy.
