    Anyone else get cancelled this weekend?

    So I went to a comedy show out here in Long Island.  I was surprised that they used the word "retarted" and "gay" in a few of their sets.  It doesn't bother me in the slightest, you just don't here that anymore or I don't go to enough comedy shows.


    context is everything
    I tend to agree but when Billie Eilish was given a ration of shit for her use of the word but thankfully that got shot down.

    People are overly sensitive now and almost taught to be offended about every little thing.
    being offended over "retard" is not being overly sensitive it's exactly the right amount of sensitive. 

    imagine if someone in the audience has a child that is mentally challenged. my director calls things he disagrees with "retarded" all the time. one of my coworkers has a severely disabled (mentally and physically) child (and he obviously knows this). she piped up a couple weeks ago "STOP SAYING THAT WORD". He was fucking clueless. He looked around like he had no idea what just happened. 

    I understand comedy shows are different from the workplace. But there's a few things you just don't joke about. 
    I don't think frowning upon 'gay' as a pejorative (if that's how it was used) is all that overly sensitive either.

    It doesn't offend me, but I get why using it that way CAN offend.

    I get it but they aren't talking about that parents kid. I doubt your boss was talking about their kid too.  Sometimes a word has a completely different meaning.

    Comedy should never, ever be restricted.

    If someone is using a word as a direct insult I can see it, these weren't like that.

    I agree, which is why I included my disclaimer about how 'gay' was used.

    obviously using "retarder" in the engine context means something different. FFS. we're talking about people here. 

    "en retard" in french literally means to slow down. we're not cancelling the french language either.

    using "that's retarded" in a professional setting, to label a process as "stupid", is not ok. it doesn't matter if it was addressing her kid directly or not. is it ok for you to use the N word as long as it's not being directed at someone?

    I agree comedy should never be restricted. I'm not suggesting that it should. But any comedian who uses that language should be prepared for the subsequent backlash. 

    there's a reason you don't hear any "big name" comedians use it. they know better, and they know it's a cheap laugh and punching down.

    Professional setting I agree.  Read the room.

    If you listen to comedian interviews they are at a point where everything can be used against them.  Some comedians are better at getting away with certain things.  Theon and Danielle Tosh are two perfect examples of towing the line.

    I have a deaf person in the family. In their community, the word is a proud word, like people using Italian or Irish. In American culture,  it's an insult used often. Noone wants to be called a smelly Italian.  "What are you,  deaf?"

    People using words that are not theirs bear the risk of insulting someone with their laziness or casual disregard. Give blacks credit for taking full control of the N word. We need more of that
