To be fair, I agree in principle, but that's where there's a difference between CAN and SHOULD. I agree that comedians CAN make jokes about whatever they want... I just think there are some things that
should be avoided. It's not really just about personal taste / avoiding offense - e.g. certain jokes about people with learning disabilities or mental health conditions aren't just "in poor taste", they are actually damaging in terms of furthering gross misconceptions.
