The problem isn’t comics trying to be edgy. Comics are always edgy, and some of the funniest stuff can be quite mean. The problem is an audience that is saying certain things are taboo. Bullshit. Taboo is a made up word. The line is different for every audience member. No audience member who feels uncomfortable has the right to tell everyone else what they can or cannot hear or laugh at.

Somewhere along the last few years, however, people have started to assume they have a right to silence others from hearing what they want to hear.

Fuck those people. Seriously. Fuck them.

ETA: I don’t think that Diaz guy who Rogan loves is funny at all. He’s dumb, Dice-like. But do I care if he’s a sexist pig and some people like his dimwit humor? No. I just don’t watch the guy.

And yet others making the exact same choice makes you angry enough to write long screeds about them...
