this is so hyperbolic, people have been saying political correctness is killing comedy for decades and it’s fine - louis ck literally ejaculated in front of women without their consent and is still touring and doing comedy

Rich has nothing to do with it, this is about the freedom of speech, art and comedy.

none of which are at risk here… the comedian said whatever he wanted, was paid millions for his art which was viewed by millions… this is like the apex of success

You seem really obsessed with money.
This minor insult has led to a disproportionate amount of outrage. Which is a very strong signal to other comedians to only engage in jokes deemed "safe". That's a regression.

but that’s inconsequential, nothing comes from it other than more exposure - that’s the point i’m making, if anything this continues to show that there’s no such thing as bad press
