Why does that matter? Is he wrong? Maybe your insinuation that this is about him is incorrect and he just sees it as a blemish on comedy as a whole? Could it be that he just cares about the profession?
It's so peculiar that people would rather argue something irrelevant rather than admit that they agree with someone they don't like.
Yes. There's plenty of politically incorrect comics and they're thriving. Dave Chappelle took a lot of heat on social media for being transphobic (not even as a joke) and he got 2 Netflix specials out of it.
We haven't just gone through a deadly pandemic because many people got ill and survived. It seems that you don't know what a logical fallacy is.
Did you really just use a fallacy accuse me of using a fallacy? Ok. Point out a single 'death' in the comedy world due to woke culture. Just one. Or, alternatively, give me a single example of how it has negatively affected Jerry Seinfeld's career.
Is that really a result of woke culture? If so, it's been since around long before Matt groening or Jerry Seinfeld were born. They stopped doing minstrel shows over a hundred years ago.
You've gone from name just one to it's happening all the time pretty quick. Of course it's something that's always been around, but we tend to have the ability to gauge the gravity of a situation and react accordingly to address them. Of course that assumes you're able to admit there's an issue in the first place.
