I keep repeating the same argument ad nauseam but it serves its purpose, this whole thing wouldn't even be debated if the topic was racism and not trans/queerphobia. Are any openly racist comics being given the largest platform on the planet to air their antiquated views under the guise of "free speech" and "diversity of opinion"? And what's the reason why LGBTQphobia is not treated in the same way that racism is treated?
I don't think he's arguing that point, I think he's just arguing against a nebulous concept of cancel culture he doesn't really understand because he's concerned with free speech or something.
