“I think it’s easier to just say ‘I’m not a fan. That comedy isn’t for me.'
Kevin Hart talked about the sensitive nature of comedy during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast on Tuesday. The comedian discussed the fallout of his Oscars controversy, which stemmed from jokes Hart made about the LGBTQ community more than 10 years ago, and said the moment was a “wake-up call of understanding the times.”
Fellow comedian Louis C.K. refused to shy away from controversial jokes in the aftermath of multiple sexual misconduct accusations against him. When he returned to the stage in January, the actor drew laughs for jokes about his masturbation preferences, according to the Daily Beast, despite being at the epicenter of a sexual harassment scandal after he exposed himself to women.
“I think it’s easier to just say, ‘I’m not a fan. That comedy isn’t for me,’” he said. “'You know what, I don’t like the taste of this particular comedian, so I’m not going to support or watch that comedian. I’m going to find another comedian that’s more to my liking. I’m going to go and just turn my head.’ I want us to get back to understand that you just don’t have to support it. That’s it.”
Hart also touched on why he refrained from engaging in conversations surrounding his Oscars controversy earlier this year, explaining that he didn’t want to give in to the negativity after already having apologized multiple times.
