i fucking love cody.
I recently introduced my boomer, ex-hippie, woodstock-going mom who, obviously, falls for fake news on facebook every day to him, and she cant get enough.
Edit: hadnt actually seen it, its gotta be one of the best.. i didnt know about that Carlin quote referencing Andrew Dice Clay, I'll be sure to use that the next time someone tries to appeal to him
Another fantastic video by Cody, who's quickly becoming one of my favorite LeftTubers. The video in particular is so thorough in its analysis, and I love those subtle and quick jabs Cody throws out at SNL, Pewdipie, Crowder, etc.
The bit at the end mentioning Carlin is particularly relevant, since he's become an almost mythical figure amongst the "anti-SJW" crowd, despite the fact that he clearly disliked authoritarians, religious fundamentalists, and bigots in general. Makes you wonder if these alt-reich children have even watched any of his bits.
Comedians today: “all these people won’t let me say the things I’m standing here saying to a sold out crowd in a special on the largest streaming platform on earth”
lol KIA shockingly have a somewhat different take on Cody's Showdy

This might be the angriest I've ever been at an episode of Cody's Shody. People in positions of fame and power complaining about how they're the real victims because they're too arrogant and stuck in their ways to admit they made a mistake. Then you have actual bigots using "it's just a joke, bro, don't be so offended" to excuse their bigotry.
Loved the ending when he brought up George Carlin. People seem to think Carlin was the patron saint of offensive comedy. But he wasnt't. He was self-aware enough to know when a joke wasn't appropriate and that punching down at already marginalized groups isn't funny.
Conservatives: “if you don’t like it, don’t consume it!”
People: “Sounds fair. I’m not going to consume media that I don’t like / maybe find offensive / isn’t that funny”.
Media company: “Oh hey some shitty old comedian that wasn’t that funny 15 years ago and is still telling the same tired jokes isn’t popular/profitable. Looks like we gotta cancel the show.”
Conservatives: “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
MEDIA CORPORATIONS CANCELING CONTENT BECAUSE ITS NOT POPULAR IS NOT CENSORSHIP!
(Government’s doing so - like what happened to Bill Maher and to some extent maybe Colin Kaepernack (sp?)- is)
“Cancel culture” is not about free speech- it’s about forcing people to use public resources (“the ether” “the spectrum”) to consume media they do not want!
Which COULD be considered censorship in it if itself, since the shitty/unwanted media is aired instead of something more desired.
On the one hand, yes.
On the other hand, tell that to the Dixie Chicks.
I agree with real cool news daddy that cancel culture isn't a thing among the rich and famous. It's also a pet peeve of mine that comedians who pride themselves on doing offensive comedy then turn around and complain that people get offended. Bill Hicks used to talk about how religious people would be angry at his atheist jokes, and that didn't stop him either (it kinda seemed to keep him going).
I should say though that the idea of "cancel culture" is being coopted by the right to protect the powerful. But at the same time, a sort of "fast trigger mob justice thing" (if you want to avoid naming it cancel culture) is still very widespread and problematic, because it silences dissenting voices coming from structurally disadvantaged people.
I don't like to see that this very valid criticism that was born from within leftist communities, and aims at a self-reflection towards greater inclusivity, is being drowned by a reaction to bad faith right-wing talking points.
Cancel culture absolutely exists, the only myth is that it's only the left doing it.
