I saw Kimmel and Jeff Ross getting dragged thru the mud, and it got me wondering how Daniel Tosh hasn't gotten any heat.

Dude constantly tells racist and/or sexist jokes. Mocks LGBT and handicapped people. He even once told a woman TO HER FACE that it would be funny if she got gangraped.

I love his show and am glad it's not getting hit by all this, but damn it's pretty surprising lol

*shrugs* targets are arbitrary and random. Like... people want to rename Yale but nobody's knocking on The Young Turks doors for naming themselves after a group that commit literal genocide.

There's no logic to it.

Yeah I know it caught some attention, but I don't think his show ever got suspended/cancelled for it.

I figured it was because his jokes target literally everybody no matter what their race, gender, orientation, political affiliation, etc is.

Like if he showed a pattern of just telling anti-LGBT jokes or just jokes about Asians then people would try to cancel him.

Because, contrary to the narrative pushed by whiny, bad, conservative comedians, there is still plenty of room for offensive comedy

That's a good point and kind of what I was thinking too. As long as you offend EVERYONE then each group isn't sure which one should attack you first lol

Because it wouldn't matter. His entire schtick is being needlessly offensive - how do you call that out exactly? It's not like he hides it, so "calling him out" would be highlighting the things about his act that his fans like. It would be promoting him. Same reason the "far left" doesn't go after South Park
