Podcaster Joe Rogan took time out to complain that straight white men are being “silenced” by cancel culture.
“Can you make a good comedy movie anymore, or have they made it so dangerous in terms of being canceled, that comedy movies are no longer something you can do?” he asked on his show.
“You can never be woke enough, that’s the problem,” he continued. “It keeps going. It keeps going further and further and further down the line, and if you get to the point where you capitulate, where you agree to all these demands, it’ll eventually get to — straight white men are not allowed to talk. Because it’s your privilege to express yourself when other people of color have been silenced throughout history.”
He added, “We just gotta be nice to each other, man. And there’s a lot of people that are taking advantage of this weirdness in our culture, and then that becomes their thing. Their thing is calling people out for their privilege, calling people out for their position.”
We should add that Rogan’s show makes $9.6 million a month. That’s not including his Youtube channel.
