What’s so sad about that is that with Michael Richards, you have another guy who wasn’t funny and comics disowned him. I mean remember how Letterman had to sadly trek Jerry Seinfeld out and he was like, “I’m sorry I knew him,” and it was horrible. And with this what shocked me the most […] is that every comic, all these guy comics—liberal comics, progressive comics—came out and defended this guy and defended rape culture. And what’s so sad about that is comics don’t agree on anything! Everyone’s talking about the “comedy community”? Here’s the “comedy community”:
“Are you friends with Elon?”
“Yeah.”
“Well Elon just got a special.”
“I hate Elon.”[…] We don’t even have health insurance! But suddenly we have to defend rape culture? And it’s like, “Comedians assemble!” It’s horrifying that this is the sword we want to die on.
