Yelling

Joining the "WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE EXIST???" Twitter Space only ended up proving that all women of every race and color can't have a discussion without yelling

"YES it is wrong for a Black Person to date interracially"

So i an "interracial" black man in an interacial relationship joined this space just to listen and see what they we're talking about. But I was promptly removed :( I assume because my profile pic is a hugarian Jew so who's to know what race I am #IRdatingbad pic.twitter.com/rsa8wd0OEM

"Are you willing to date outside your race"

So i an "interracial" black man in an interacial relationship joined this space just to listen and see what they we're talking about. But I was promptly removed :( I assume because my profile pic is a hugarian Jew so who's to know what race I am #IRdatingbad pic.twitter.com/rsa8wd0OEM

He was joining to ask what are you going to do about “black people”

When I start destroying the anti-Black talking points in these Twitter space rooms, the white supremacists get triggered and they are reduced to trolling, spewing racist epithets, and making threats of violence pic.twitter.com/p49oMgAlgf

Complaint

And if they saw my show previously and found me "horrific", why did they come to see me again? But it shows why so many diverse heterodox voices are being pushed off the live circuit.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a club comic.

Any accusation of racism, transphobia, misogyny is like accusing someone of witchcraft in Salem in 1693 - everyone is terrified of being tarred with association, promoters are scared to let you near the cows in case your sorcery sours the milk in their udders.

Other comedians have suffered hecklers, complaints, online campaigns. Cancel culture is real, it's pernicious and it's narrowing the diversity of voices you're allowed to hear.

I'm putting my energy into YouTube, podcasting with 3 Speech and Lotus Eaters, and TV/radio.

Replies from fellow commedians

I love this new trope of sensitive types claiming ‘I’m actually a fan of edgy comedy.’
Reminds me of fusty Nineties Conservatives claiming ‘Now I like a good laugh as much as the next man!’ https://t.co/S5OTZ9kxZf

Replies from fans

Why do people like this go to comedy clubs?-I would honestly like to know. If you are not crying with laughter ,wincing,holding you hands over your face,elbowing the person next to you, what is the point?🤷🏽‍♂️
— Chris Donaldson (@trojan1963) November 28, 2021

What I don't get is, if they were offended the 1st time around, why come back for a 2nd view? They're in a public forum, they should expect subject matters & opinions they don't share. Who says what's classed as offensive? I would refer them to this statement: pic.twitter.com/5UvUfWUiTv

Keep up the good work Leo, enjoying the @lotuseaters_com contributions too.

Cancel Show culture lives in this complainant all right, it's so frightening that they feel they can lie their way through this. There are lots of us who are on your side so keep doing what you do 👏👏👏
— Sheila (@MrsLScotland) November 28, 2021

I would ask to see their ticket stubs..... as they probably never even went.

I seen you live at the fringe, and I have never laughed so much in years.

Although, the row behind me was very weary of my COPD cough in the middle of a Plandemic 😆

You’ve got to put “absolutely horrific” on your publicity poster. That’s if people still make posters - showing my age there.
