“The pitfalls of wokeism are evident in its tendency to stifle free speech by canceling individuals who express opinions, including those conveyed through comedy. The attempt to enforce ideological conformity, even in the pursuit of social justice, risks creating an environment where dissent is quashed, hindering the vibrant exchange of ideas necessary for societal progress. Comedy, as a form of social commentary, should remain a space where artists can challenge the status quo without fear of cancellation, preserving the richness of diverse voices that contribute to the tapestry of free expression.”
James William Steven Parker
