There it is!
I am thoroughly sick and damn tired of these topics, and hope that comedians move away from it soon! I have gone back to watching some older comedy routines (pre-trump) because I know those words won’t be mentioned anywhere in a routine.

And I’m not boycotting him because I don’t think he’s funny. I’m not watching him because he will forever be associated with being a sexual predator, and since I don’t think that sexual predation is funny, I can’t laugh at him. I can’t watch Cosby’s old routines I used to enjoy. I can’t even watch Chappelle’s old routines, and that’s because of what they’re associated with now, sexual assault and transphobia.

There are plenty of other comedians more worthy of my time. I’ll just watch one of John Mullaney ‘s specials again. Or maybe Wanda Sykes. Or D.L. Hughley.
