I specifically mentioned Frankie Boyle because folks tend to find him offensive. He also hosts a show talking about serious-ish topics, generally in a funny tone. The others were just comedic takes on more serious stuff. But really, they were examples of comedy that the person claimed was hobbled as a result of political correctness - and I don't see it as the case at all. Comedy simply isn't what it was 30 years ago, but at the same time... comedy isn't what it was 50 years ago either.

>If your comedy includes making fun of men for being too "gay" or women for being too manly... sure, political correctness has caused a demise in your sort of humor, and good riddance. The very idea that there couldn't be any funny perspectives left on the above topics shows that the idea of being emotionally protected has been elevated above free speech.
