I thought the backlash against that comedian in Portland was overblown, then I saw the full clip

I initially defended him, thinking it was just a joke taken out of context, like usual. But after watching the full 15-minute set from The Laugh Factory last month, the pattern of targeted, mean-spirited jokes was impossible to ignore. It wasn't about pushing boundaries; it was just punching down. Has anyone else had a case where seeing the primary source completely flipped your view on a cancellation?

Yeah, context changes everything with that stuff.

That Louis CK special was a real test case.

Wait, but is it really that bad? Sometimes comedy is just uncomfortable.
