All of our systems have been gamed via psychiatry like this.
Only certain mental types are allowed to join the FBI / ATF / DEA etc.
Only certain mental types are promoted into higher-tier management in the corporate world etc.
Only certain mental types go into politics.
Tests and more have been perfected over the decades to ensure that people are specifically put in places that their psychopathy can be used.
This is the comedy version of #metoo. He was allowed to say whatever just like actresses could fuck themselves to the top, but now they want to ban others from doing the same. It's them limiting the competition.
Comedy is an art where there is no instruction manual. Like Patrice O'Neal said, good jokes and bad jokes come from the same place. The comedian is just trying to be funny through trial and error. The attempt has to be defended. Rogen wants to raise the bar to impossible standards where, not only do all your jokes have to be funny, they have to remain funny, at least until your retirement. Of course, he's hoping that this gives his own work exemption from these standards.
I binge watched about literally 2.5 weeks worth of terrestrial audio on YouTube many years back. Patrice was insanely gifted, possibly the most naturally funny man I've heard, and knew never to give into the audience...to the extent of actively driving them out if a show bombed.
Hacks like Rogen in comparison have absolutely zero authority on comedy.
Not to defend the guy, but to avoid the strawman. He isn't claiming the jokes have to remain funny or claiming you can't try and fail. He's saying just apologize, it's not hard or expensive. If the joke isn't funny or ages poorly just apologize.
In my personal opinion it's never that easy. There are way too many people who get offended over the smallest slight. Also once you apologize once it never seems to be enough for this brain dead mob. There's a time and place for apologies and these self-righteous pricks aren't getting one from me.
If "cancel culture" actually worked in a logical manner I'd agree. If in a non clown world you made a joke that was legitimately offensive and refused to apologize I could see not being welcome until amends were made being a solution. The problem is the way it works in current year is you can point out that a man dressed as a woman being "literally a woman" is ridiculous and your life is over and no amount of apologies will fix it. Meanwhile Gunn, Silverman, Teigan et al can joke about being sexually aroused by children and no one in their space bats an eye.
Fuck that, if you made a joke that was funny, why should you apologize when it goes out of date. Do you see fashion designers apologize when their creations become tacky? Quit groveling and grow a spine.
Racism and anti-Semitism were second nature to him, and yet the cancel culture gives him a free pass every time.

Of one contemporary, Marx blasted his “cynical, oily-obtrusive, phony-Baronial Jew-manners.” Particularly loathsome to Marx was anyone he suspected of part Jewish and African roots. Marx referred to his fellow German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle as a “greasy Jew,” “the little kike,” “water-polack Jew,” “Jew Braun,” “Yid,” “Izzy,” “Wily Ephraim,” “Baron Itzig,” and “the Jewish Nigger.” In a July 1862 letter to Engels, Marx confidently observed of Lassalle, “It is now perfectly clear to me that, as the shape of his head and the growth of his hair indicates, he is descended from the Negroes who joined in Moses’ flight from Egypt.” Lassalle’s “cranial formation,” detected Marx, was the giveaway. Marx did, however, allow for an exception: “unless his mother or grandmother on the father’s side was crossed with a nigger.” Marx chortled, “This union of Jew and German on a Negro base was bound to produce an extraordinary hybrid.” He also hastened to add, “The fellow’s importunity is also niggerlike.”
So an unfunny fuck who’s too milquetoast to challenge the status quo with his “comedy” is dismissing actual comedians who are being punished.
This is the kind of motherfucker who would rat out his own for five more minutes of freedom.
That's exactly the kind of ratfucker that makes it big in Hollywood. It's by design.

Its like his definition of his own and your definition of his own are different things.
My comment has multiple layers. I mean in every way you could possibly imagine.

I originally read your last sentence as Joe Rogan has absolutely zero authority on comedy because of your typo.
The ironic thing is that the quote actually works with either Joe Rogan or Seth Rogen
I despise Rogan too (though to a far lesser extent), so I concur that it works out well either way.

I bet this faggot doesn't even have the balls to quote Marx.
“the Jewish Nigger.” - t. Karl Marx

This dude is a top tier faggot
Save yourself some time and just say "Jew".
It's ok.
Well yeah he's a Jew but that's not why he's a faggot
Thank God for diabetes and heart disease.
How has the mob not come for this guy yet? I can't fucking wait for when they do
There is no difference between "accountability culture" and "lyncherdom".
Looking at his imdb page... He's probably a pedo.
This is what tolerating weedheads gets you.
seth rogen seems like someone who belongs on ip2.
