This is absurd, even for you. "Cancel Culture" does not fire people. Bosses do.

Has he? I haven't followed him over the years, but I didn't get that impression in hearing other people talk about him. He's never seemed to care about hurting feelings in the broad sense.
This is a common criticism by people who haven't seen the show when told that people who criticize the show haven't seen the show.This is a common criticism of people who are actually criticising the show. I've seen it made a lot recently (and generally whenever something arguably offensive gets released and is popular).
It doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny. Among the people who work at Netflix who are criticising the special most definitely have seen the special. So all you're doing here is being dismissive of valid criticism by suggesting the people who made it don't know what they're talking about it.
The only person fired was a Black trans man.

Who said he had to make academically-passable lectures? Who made that claim?He was on stage performing stand up. A part of his shtick has always been incorporating social issue related real life events into his routine. He has been doing this for decades, and using that energy towards in the end getting laughs. That's what he does.
In this case he included a bit about a death of a friend. I'm surprised he went there, but not for the same reasons as you.
In the end, you can't expect academically passable lectures during a comedy special. That seems unreasonable. If you go to a comedy club to see stand up you have to prepare yourself for the absurd and potentially offensive being thrown at the audience from unexpected directions. Jim Gaffigan will not give you good nutritional advice. It's an act - entertainment - designed to make you laugh. Do not go home and eat 20 pounds of bacon.

What evidence do you have they don't? It's a stupid question. So long as one of them has, their criticism is valid. What's more likely, eh? That none of them have, or at least one of them have?What possible evidence do you have that the people who work at Netflix & also walked out to engage in the protest, all dozens of them total for the whole "protest", which included people who don't work at Netflix (Netflix employs over 9,400 people), actually watched the show in question?
I felt his tone changed when he did whatever special it was where he criticized Comedy Central for the contract they gave him. Not commenting on the legitimacy of his complaints, but it wasn’t really funny.I found the previous one pretty hilarious, this one pretty preachy and butthurt....
A neopronoun can also be a so-called “noun-self pronoun,” in which a pre-existing word is drafted into use as a pronoun. Noun-self pronouns can refer to animals — so your pronouns can be “bun/bunself” and “kitten/kittenself.” Others refer to fantasy characters — “vamp/vampself,” “prin/cess/princesself,” “fae/faer/faeself” — or even just common slang, like “Innit/Innits/Innitself.”
Completely unrelated to Chapelle's special, mind you.People are mad at Margaret Atwood now, maybe this has been going on for some time. I just found out about it.
