:scust:Maybe it's cuz I did stand up comedy before but Ion like this. I think people should vote whose funny or not based on their dollars. If a MF ain't funny then don't support it, promoters won't book them and their videos won't have views/subscribers.

I get theres laws he violated and I don't believe in breaking the law to be funny but I am for a MF at least attempting the joke maybe ini another country

I always been on record saying that there is a built in accountability system for comedians that already works.

Bombing a set.

If you don't like the jokes, don't laugh, they bomb. And are forced to find better jokes.

This is the slippery slope of that kinda law, because the way it was explained to me, I asked "So if an Afro Brazilian says something about White Brazilians, i.e. White folks can't cook, do evil things, etc etc. And the White Brazilian is offended and feels this is racism, does the Afro Brazilian get punished?" ,and they were hush lol. I would assume a Malcolm X type would be jailed under these laws due to the interpretation aspect, as it seems many people are saying "wow I didnt know what I said was considered racist, sorry" when they have to appear in court

"Racism" is "Illegal" in Brazil, while being one of the most racist places in this part of the world lol.

The issue there is nobody wants to discuss the real issues, so the banning of the speech is a performative band aid, while the systematic issues remain. Sure its better than nothing but I rather deal with Racist speech then unchecked systematic issues.
Why tf are you in here crying :gucci:
