    Another “I want to have my cake and eat it too” comedian hack.

    No one has ever stopped you from making racist, sexist, transphobic, etc jokes. You want to be able to make them with impunity; in a way where someone can never say “I disagree with what you say”. You demand for freedom of speech to use it in the ugliest way possible and then you receive consequences your gut instinct is to deny that same right to your critics. Coward.

    I’m sure he’s right up there with Dave chappelle and similar folks where he will moan about cancel culture. There is maybe some nuance to this issue for someone who works at Arby’s to pay for a studio apartment they share and gets caught on a bad day in a viral video or something. This is not that and unfortunately those instances let these people weaponize this shit: “it could happen to YOU”. MAGA turds eat it up because they’re always 10 seconds away from calling someone a slur.

    These pricks are already wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of the majority of human beings. If they never earned another dime they’d be fine, except they’d maybe not be able to buy everyone in the family a fully loaded new Mercedes every year anymore. So sad. This rhetoric is therefore deflection to again avoid consequence and silence criticism
