    Yeah I mean I don’t monetise my problematic behaviour though. Or entertain little kids for cash so I guess as a public figure you maybe do have a different social responsibility than just a normal citizen.

      Any creative expression is ultimately “art” - anyone can put out whatever they want, the responsibility is on the viewer to accept or reject it.

      For example, I really enjoy standup comedy and I’m of the mind that you can joke about anything. If you do not like the jokes a particular comedian does, you don’t have to buy tickets to the show. Simple as that.

        Since your a comedy connoisseur surely you also know that there are jokes that comedians will often tell each other but often aren’t done in public. Here is a famous example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_OQfYnmnE-Q

        Edgy comedians often perform in night clubs and generally to older audiences who you can expect to take the nuances of edgy jokes. I agree that if you go and watch an edgy comedian in a comedy club and don’t like the performance that’s on you.
