Comedy faces a greater threat from the "woke" #metoo crowd at colleges and online than any profit seeking corporate entity.

Why are we conflating "woke" PC culture with #metoo?

One is about being offended by things, the other is about coming forward about having been sexually assaulted or showing solidarity for them.

Let's keep clear and separate distinctions between people being offended and people being raped.

I think they're referencing the mob-like mentality that built up around #metoo, trial by social media etc. See the Al Franken fiasco, for example.

To me women's rights needs to be distinguished from #metoo for this reason, but in any event I don't think the gp comment was totally inappropriate in equating "wokeness" and #metoo as having a large social impression management component (even if you disagree with it).

Truth. Ask Chappelle... "You people are the worst motherfucker's I've tried to entertain in my life!"
