Seinfeld says that far left woke mobs have killed comedy. He also dated a 17-year-old.(lemmy.world)

That’s quite the hollow argument. To first deny that comedy changed and then state that it’s just moved on to something they don’t like and then insult them for it. I think you’re really undermining your own argument by conflating the evolution of comedy with the tendency to clean it up because we are no longer supposed to offend anyone while handing out participation trophies.

You’re free to deny this is happening, but maybe you’re just too young to notice it, kiddo.

When did I deny comedy had changed? It hasn’t changed. I’m saying that 2005 wasn’t some golden era where things were so much less politically correct. It’s because I’m not young that I know this. I grew up with Family Ties and Alf. I remember Don’t tell me TV was more edgy in the past. I’m old, I’m just not naïve.

Correct me if I’m wrong but you are the only one mentioning the year 2005. You agree things have changed, but in each of your comments you are suggesting that nothing is going on. Which is it?
