Topic	Should comedians be immune from criticism?

You're welcome to criticize a joke if it's not funny, but you're not really entitled to criticize it because you feel the topic should be off-limits from joking at all. I've already explained that topics shouldn't be off limits. But you have to do some topics specific ways. You can joke about race, but your punchline shouldn't be that the Nazis didn't go far enough. You can joke about rape, but your premise shouldn't be that marital rape doesn't really exist. Etc. A comedian can go ahead and make those jokes if they want, and I'd fight in court to keep them from being prosecuted for them, but they shouldn't be surprised or defended when they are disinvited from reputable spaces and ratio'd to death online. --- https://imgur.com/0Bi86cp <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:926661569] in Should com...
