It is also within his rights to make any kind of jokes he wants. He doesn't need permission to feel disrespected by Viacom, or to be sore about his own show, FFS! Censorship, on behalf of the trans, or any community, halts the conversation and moves things backwards. #TalkAboutProgress Ideals need to be discussed, or we will never understand one another. Today's cancel culture is yesterday's overbearing society, obsessed with "the seven words you can't say on TV", distraught over Ellen queering up broadcast television, and griping about violence in video games and music. War for peace is still war, ok. I am disenfranchised and a victim, 1000x over. I can still laugh at myself. I can still see humanity in my predators. I don't want them censored. How else would I know what they were saying? How else would I disprove them? Censorship, like prohibition, will always be a failed endeavor before it starts. These things do not disappear because we wish it were so. There is just less education to be had, by all. Nothing ever changes without a conversation. Are you upset on behalf of an entire community? I feel like individuals will have different backgrounds, thoughts, and feelings, throughout any community. Generalizing them for the sake of a clickbait article seems a bit... exploitative?

Jokes are bad... mmmkay, you shouldn't tell jokes... Comedians start conversations. I start fires.
