    People have been ‘up in arms’ about comedy not being like how it was when they were young my entire life.

    You know what I used to hear when I was a kid? Complaints that George Carlin wasn’t funny like Don Rickles.

      If you can’t even admit that woke culture tries to clean everything up and has exacerbated the issues then you’re simply in denial. It’s all around you, it’s on TV, it’s in comedy clubs, it’s in movies, it’s in universities. If you can’t even acknowledge that, it suggests to me that you can’t really argue with it, but rather need to act that it doesn’t exist.

        I don’t admit that “woke culture” is a thing.

        I know conservatives want it to be a thing, but it isn’t.
