Chris Rock has joined the growing backlash against cancel culture.
“And when everyone gets safe and nobody tries anything, things get boring. I see a lot of unfunny comedians, I see unfunny TV shows, I see unfunny awards shows, I see unfunny movies - because everybody’s scared to make a move. And that’s not a place to be … Now you got a place where people are scared to talk, especially in America.”
“You don’t really have to cancel us [comedians], ‘cos we get the message - they’re not laughing! … When we do something and people aren’t laughing, we get it. Dictating what people should find funny is disrespecting the audience. Like, ‘Oh, you think you know more than the audience?’ The audience knows more than everybody.”
