You think racist comics would be allowed to do their acts without comment today? Or do you think homophobic comics shouldn't receive pushback? The obsession with a minority community trying to live their lives is just really bizarre, frankly.

Do you actually know anything about Dave Chapelle ?? , he had a trans friend who he even dedicated his comedy show to . She committed suicide .....and shock horror guess which community contributed to her death ?? , A group of angry trans activists who send her a ton of hate . Yet these same people preach about peace & acceptance .

Chapelle & Gervais challenge things others are to scared to say , neither of them hate trans people. But they're fed up with how far left things have gotten ,I know Gervais especially highlighted that .

And Chapelle from what I heard asked his friend about her transition so he could try to understand why she felt that way , which is exactly what more is needed ... education is important & respectful discussions instead of name calling.

As for 'racist' or 'sexist' comics , if a comedian is just insulting people then no it's not funny. But people should actually watch things before they call everyone offensive . A joke has to either make sense or be witty & clever & even fun satire. Not just mean remarks .

Frankie Boyle made a grotesque joke about Katie Price's son Harvey,but it's interesting how he never faced reprocussions for it . So much double standards & hypocrisy as usual. And I've never found Boyle funny.
