So only comedians and animated TV shows are allowed to be offensive?

  I mean, not even comedians are safe: https://globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/cases/camargo-v-bastos/ https://globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/cases/camargo...

  >So only comedians and animated TV shows are allowed to be offensive? I heard some comedians say that they don't perform in Canada because of the same type of anti-free-speech laws. Maybe some Canadians can chime in but there are cases of comedians getting charged with hate speech laws.

    I am an American but I know Mike Ward won his case but it had to go to the Supreme Court for a split decision. He was supposed to pay $42,000 in damages. The joke was in French and super distasteful about a disabled kid. I think as Americans we forget most don't have 1st amendment rights. I know Canada though is going to pass some crazy online hate speech laws this year and take all this to another level.
