Comedians complaining about negative feedback (“Everything has to be so damn politically correct these days!”) makes me wonder why they think they should have feedback immunity when clearly everyone is being criticized to a larger extent today. srhsoffleash.org/784/opinion/why-pc-culture-is-killing-comedy/On twitter.com

I admit, I can sometimes laugh at off-color jokes, but that does not mean I can’t also reason around the inappropriateness of me doing so. We’re not perfect. Discourse is good. Listening to feedback and reasoning around the validity of it is healthy.Permalink On twitter.com

Listening to people who experience harm is a must. When comedians say they have to pay high prices for the “wrong jokes”, let’s relate the size of that “high price” to the price being paid by vulnerable, sidestepped, invisible people throughout their lifetimes.Permalink On twitter.com
