I don’t really care about super niche comedians who are based, I just think that generally speaking comedy is an insanely weaponized form of entertainment.
From my perspective this is pretty self-evident, just wondering if any of y’all have dug into this or disagree for whatever reason.
Agree, there’s even a tendency for the US to popularize minorities who are willing to demonize their own group, because it gives license for white ppl to do the same. IE that chappelle story where the guy kept screaming the n-word at him as he was walking down the street. Or that one chinese american comedian a few years ago who pushed all the sinophobic tropes.
Its kinda sad that most comedians are so reactionary, because there’s so much worthwhile to satirize in late stage capitalism. Good comedy is apparently difficult to do, since they all figured out they can just yell slurs at their audience.
