It's always terrible comedians like Kevin Hart who complain about "PC Culture" or "being woke". And it's because they are terrible at comedy. They can no longer fall back on just saying something racist or sexist or transphobic "as a joke" instead of actually working on material.

There are a ton of great comics out there, but these guys? No, these guys' time has long since passed.

Anthony Jeselnik would be hilarious as a host of any awards show

Every now n' then I unhide a comment that was hidden by my Hexbear instance block and am instantly reminded why I have a Hexbear instance block.

Wait, you're bothered by someone saying Kevin Hart is a shitty comedian? Have I read this right? I hate to say it, but if that's enough for you to be mad at the ebil hexbears, you should really probably just keep us blocked

Really weird to me the things lemmy libs choose to get offended by. I feel like we regularly post communist things that libs hate, but they only seem to point out the really benign shit.

"I dislike Kevin Hart and prefer comedians that don't rely on bigotry to get their jokes to land" -An opinion so foul it deserves an instance wide block, apparently huey-wut

Reminds me of that one furry instance that defedded us because of a thread where we dunked on george bush and the iraq war jesse-wtf

Honestly, I'm bothered by how aggressive and negative you guys are. Just aggression and negativity all day every day. Got sick of it.

I’m seeing just one aggressive and negative person in this particular reply thread, and it’s not the Hexbear user (for once).
