Knowing what I know about Carlin he would be too busy upsetting antimaskers to cater to the "cancel culture bigots" of the same crowd.
No doubt but I'm sure he would have a bit on it. He wouldn't just ignore it and act like it wasn't happening.
Especially given how sensitive audiences have become and they would most likely write letters to Carlin voicing their displeasure like they do with Dave.
You said George Carlin would have hated the soft language going on now, then questioned me for comparing now to the 60s.
Yeah cuz Carlin isn't alive now.
He was alive during the 60s
Isn't this essentially what the people who are partial to the "pre-sensitivity era" are preaching in here?
I was literally saying Carlin would basically be on the same **** Dave is on now as far as complaints about jokes and ppl being offended.
I posted the vids where he talks about those exact topics to back it up.
Carlin was doing stand up in the 60s, would you have been OK with him dropping n***er left and right in his routines?
Based off of Carlin's standup I don't see in what context he'd be dropping the N word left and right in his routine. But based off of his material if he did use the N word he would have a reason and point to it like in the vid I posted where he did use the N word more than once. Not saying it "left and right".
And again, I don't get why you're placing that scenario in the 60s as if Carlin saying the N word left and right would have a different reaction now.
We're not talking about comedians using offensive words without thought.
We were talking about Dave Chappelle and ppl being upset with his standup material and being offended. Dave isn't accused of just using the N word equivalent for the trans community "left and right".
I'm lost on what point you're trying to make or what this response is about exactly
The only people who wrote letters against Carlin were the church.
And I said, if he were alive now doing any of the material from the vids I posted he'd be getting letters about that.
My point is he is a liberal and would have approached this whole "cancel culture" nonsense in a nuanced way because he would have hated the people peddling it as an excuse to freely use bigoted speech.
I don't disagree.
But I also think he would have a nuanced response to ppl trying to police comedy and speech cuz he hated that too.
