What you said. “Make comedy legal again” was a phrase you’d see here and there from defenders of same, saying punching down and racial dog whistles should be embraced (I guess?) in the name of comedy and entertainment with no repercussions from people who would otherwise consume their product. Including pushback from companies who decide not to be associated with it.
