Many comedians are very proud of themselves for saying the things others are supposedly afraid to say. They are at the forefront of this culture of entitlement where we get to do anything, think anything, and say anything.
Many comedians take pride in expressing thoughts and opinions that they believe others are hesitant to voice. This attitude reflects a broader cultural shift towards entitlement, where individuals feel free to assert themselves without restraint in their ideas and speech. This phenomenon is seen as part of a movement where personal expression is not only encouraged but celebrated.
Roxane Gay, in her book "Bad Feminist," examines this cultural landscape and critiques how some comedians leverage their platforms to embrace controversial subjects. While some see this as bold, it raises questions about the implications of such freedom and the responsibility that comes with it, particularly in a climate that values open discourse.
