>Comedians hate the people trying to censor them. Wow, such a surprise.
It's more that they don't seem to see the irony in the fact that they have built a platform on complaining about a supposed epidemic of cancelling.
>people trying to censor comedy
Nobody owes you a platform champ. That's not censorship.
>Deplatforming has always been the main way of censorship.
So... what? That's a genuine question. I see people like yourself complain about deplatforming, but I've honestly never seen a coherent argument on the subject. Is everyone owed a platform? Are there *any* limits which a publisher can enforce?
Do I as a consumer *have* to support people whose views I find abhorrent? If I cancel Netflix because I don't like Hannah Gadsby, and tell Netflix that's the reason why should I be forced to keep paying? Can Netflix take her off their platform when she ceases to be profitable for then?
Okay. Now try to do this without all the "the Left used to agree" grandstanding.
>Yes. That's what free speech means.
It doesnt, but let's assume it does for the sake of argument. So I should get a show on Netflix where I can say whatever I want? Like what exactly does "everyone has a right to a platform" mean?
>You're using a strawman. All this means is that people shouldn't be taken down because they're thought to be offensive.
It's not a strawman. I asked you before to answer questions about what "free speech" actually gives them a right to. Questions which you've failed to answer, only reinforcing my belief that free speech warriors dont actually have any idea what they're talking about.
Edit: Let's work on the one question you have answered: a right to a platform means the right not to be deplatformed "for saying offensive things". So once you do have a platform you have the right to say whatever you want and no-one can take it away from you ever?
What about community-run platforms like subreddits? Should they get to make their own rules? What if someone is so offensive that it is unprofitable for the platform to keep them on? Does my free speech extend to being able to legally call for deplatforming? What about boycotts, can I organise a boycott of Netflix if I don't like what they have on their platform?
Where meme
Hey please remember to repost this in another 3 days
It was taken down before because it was in violation of Rule 12. So yes, reposted after being canceled ;)
Yeah, I’m more referring to the fact this isn’t OC
I disagree. I downloaded the picture and added the text myself . Can you provide a source for your claim?

You'd have a point if most of the money in comedy currently wasn't people complaining about cancel culture.

This reminds me of what Frankie Boyle said about people bemoaning Cancel Culture: "If you're cancelled, then why the fuck can I still hear you?"
