Comedian Bec Shaw is tired of the argument that "wokeness" is ruining comedy because "you can't joke about anything anymore." She writes in her Substack about how often that sentiment is wielded to justify "the most hack, unfunny, mean-spirited, boring jokes that have ever existed." She continues: "People are whining and frothing at the mouth to be able to 'say what they want,' and what they desperately want to say is… the same old jokes we’ve heard over and over for years." Tell us in the comments what you think.
