The jokes these people tell are funny in an objective sense though. They have all the ingredients of good jokes and use context and stereotypes appropriately. The only problem really comes with a lack of understanding or appreciation for some types of comedy. Louis CK has made millions of dollars from risque humour and is arguably the biggest stand up in the world and Seinfeld is worth almost a billion; the problem is not that people don't find them funny, it's that those that don't find them funny rally together baying for blood claiming to be [TRIGGEREd] and do everything they can to silence them. In the 1930s a great number of authors opposed to the ideology in the third reich were persecuted and had their works destroyed in the name of promoting Nazism and today we have great thinkers writers and entertainers like these men censoring themselves not for fear of disrupting the status quo but fear of losing their position in society. The internet generation unfortunately has the power to shape knowledge and to influence thought on right and wrong or funny and offensive. It's just smart to avoid performing for young folk with warped morals and political sway if you're an iconoclast.
