    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.

      Hey I enjoy stand up comedy as well and I’m actually pretty good comic, and for the record I’m not a cancel culture guy, but I can still believe that pewdiepie is a bit of an asshole and that artists do have a certain social responsibility after all life imitates art.
