British comedy legend John Kris once again criticized the “abrogated” length of “abolition of culture” and political correctness by the “awakened generation” “trying to rewrite the rules” about what can be said and what cannot be said.
In recent years, Cleese has been speaking out about the dangers of catering to the public. “The most upset emotion,” Warning this will result in the creation of a “Neuropathic Society” Where is the creativity “asphyxia” Because people will have to pay attention to what they say.
But the new comment is that Cleese-known for his collaborations with the Monty Python comedy troupe and the classic comedy Fawlty Towers-is getting involved “Minefield” The abolition of culture is obviously to find out whether it is possible to make “Good Comedy” Without offending the audience.
The 81-year-old comedian announced a new series called John Kris: Cancel Me, and he will check in it “Various reasons” Behind the phenomenon, and talk to the celebrities who have been “cancelled” and groups believed to perpetuate the culture of cancellation.
Chris said he would explore “All aspects of so-called political correctness,” He added that he did not understand what the original goal of “Let us all be kind to others” was-he said he was an idea “Still agree” – Deviated too far.
Exploring topics will help people “It’s clearer in their minds what they agree with, what they disagree, and they still can’t make up their minds.”
Earlier on BBC Radio 4’s Today program, Cleese had warned that trying “Be kind” already become “A kind of indulgence to the most sensitive people in your culture, the most upset people.” These feelings are not that “We should organize a society,” He said at the time.
“From a creativity point of view, if you have to constantly think about which words can be used and which cannot, then this will kill creativity,” Claes said.
…So when the wakes protest involves the humor of certain groups, it is probably because wakes do not regard these groups as adults who can make jokes. In my opinion, this is very condescending. Perhaps the only people who can’t really make jokes are awake people. NS

In the past year, the comedian has regularly weighed various cancellations of cultural events, including cracking down on critics who accused him “Transphobia” After he signed a letter in support of Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s argument, the denial of the existence of biological gender was erased “The real lives of women around the world.”
He also called the BBC “stupid” In its video streaming service UKTV temporarily deleted an episode of Fawlty Towers for use “Outdated language.”
The infamous 1975 series “The Germans” tells the racially colored dialogue between Cleese’s hotel manager character Basil Fawlty and the regular guest Major Gowen, who repeatedly uses the N word to refer to the West Indian cricket team.
However, Cleese defended its use, noting that the show made fun of “An ancient fossil left over from decades ago,” And some people are “It’s too stupid to see this.”
But it’s not just stupid. The BBC is now run by a mix of marketers and small bureaucrats. It used to have a large number of people who actually produced shows no longer. So the BBC’s decision is made by people whose main concern is not losing their jobs. .
