You seem confused by what I meant.

I am not saying criticizing the culture and expectations is morally wrong and should be punished. I am saying if you have an entertainment job and your job is comedy then it is your job to understand the culture and expectations to make funny jokes. They are struggling with "hate" because they experience the criticism that they want to cast on the culture. And they get the criticism because they fail at being a comedian. They don't understand the culture and expectations of their audience. Unless they do and they aren't actually bothered by being "cancelled" because they just lean into reactionary politics. Do you see how concluding that someone is failing to adapt to a changing market isn't the same as saying the change is good. I am sure the housing market in east Ukraine isn't great and buying a house there now is probably a bad idea, isn't the same as saying it is good that Russia is invading them.

"Comedy is about criticizing culture" no. There are wordplays. Nothing about them is criticizing culture. There is a kind of comedy that is about criticizing. That doesn't mean that as a professional comedian, you need to do that. So as a professional comedian, you choose that kind of comedy and then you choose what kind of jokes you want to make. There are many, even political, comedians that criticize the Public, and they don't get "cancelled". Because they understand what kind of audience they have. Which as a professional is your job. And lastly there are a few things that you can criticize, you can punch down, straight and up. If you are mad that the "woke" don't like it when you punish down, which you do as a successful comedian, when you criticize "vocal minorities" or make fun of the struggle of the average person. Then maybe realize that if you want to do that comedy, laugh with the average person and punch up or straight. Remember, you want your audience to think it is funny too. If you don't like that power from the bottom controls the state, then you just don't like democracy and that is fair but then I would suggest you fight that before trying to specifically and exclusively save "punch down" jokes.

"You are contradicting yourself" I am not. Let's say I have 50million fans in America. I am touring and make millions. Then a "minority" of people in America are my fans. I was mocking the use of "minority" because if the small vocal minorities have such a influence on the public that I am losing fans then maybe... Just maybe... It isn't a minority of people. Or at least the overlap of my fans and that "minority" is pretty big. Maybe you are just out of touch with your audience. And in the end, if people don't like your act, people don't like your act. Your act sucks in the "getting good reactions" department.

"Woke idealism can't accept criticism" mhm ok sure buddy. "Woke" person: "I don't like this comedian because I think his jokes are offensive" comedian: "I am being cancelled😭😭😭 why can't they take criticism???😭😭😭 Comedy is about freedom of speech 😭😭😭 why are they taking their liberty to speak and use it to criticize my culture???😭😭😭 They can't take a joke😭😭😭" I mean the comedians really handle the criticism well. You are right. Cringe "woke" people. Ha.
