Lenny Bruce, Redd Foxx, Richard Prior, etc. Comedians of old engaged in all of the above. I do not know a comedian that existed prior to 10 years ago that did not have some sort of sexist joke (Obviously Andy Clay takes the cake, I think), short of maybe some pretentious super wholesome "comedian" doing "wholesome jokes"
- kelseyfrog 4y agoLet me summarize and repeat the argument to see if I'm getting it right. Because jokes were used to test boundaries in the past, there is no boundary that should not be tested today?
- mc32 4y agoI'm not a comedian. I cannot tell a joke. I would bet most comedians 10, 5 years ago would have said definitely yes. They probably would still say so today -but given the coals they have to walk on, you may find some trepidation amongst some.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoThis is confusing. Is it that you agree with the comedian's logic or is it different from your own?
- foxes 4y agoTechbros seething lmao, easier to just downvote the person who clearly doesn’t understand that freer muh speeeeech freeer the people. How dare there be consequences for any action, I just want to say anything and get away with it, like you know etc.
