Well that’s kinda my point, both sides are just as bad. I don’t think anyone should have to live with it.
No, but you could if you were a stand-up comedian and I was in the audience and you verbally threatened to kill me.
Well unless you can read minds, you can't know whether or not there's malicious intent.
Anything can be comedy. And he wasn't even inciting violence, he was just wishing for it.
That's kinda my point, both sides are equally hypocritical.
I do not personally support double standards. You seem to be assuming I'm a liberal. I have no idea whether I'd be considered a liberal or conservative or left wing or right wing or whatever. I've never taken a political compass test, and I have beliefs that would anger both sides. I often say both sides are just as bad in many ways, and this is an example. If you're angry about double standards and cancel culture, you should try to stop it from happening to anyone. Letting it happen to the left out of revenge will do no good for anyone.
Jokes are never bad in that way. They're not always funny, but they're always harmless. And Tenacious D definitely has been cancelled for it. And I'm not standing for that, I don't want anyone on either side to be cancelled.
I do, and if you do, you shouldn't want either side to enforce them.
So you're basically saying "we only want them to be cancelled to them to give them a taste of their own medicine"? Well that's a pretty bad mindset. If the left is so bad, and the right is so good, shouldn't they want to prove it by showing that they're better than them, instead of stooping to their level? I don't even think that's always true though, I think a lot of right wingers genuinely are offended over things like the Tenacious D joke, and really do want them to be cancelled simply for saying the wrong thing.
And how many comedians have joked about much worse things, like 9/11 or the holocaust?
I literally did in my title and OP.
I believe bad things should have consequences, I don't believe jokes are bad.
No, I'm not. But the right does that too.
I don’t see how I’m getting a “taste of my own medicine”. If you're implying I'm a leftist, I have no idea whether I'd be considered left wing or right wing, I've never taken a political compass test, I have beliefs that would anger both sides, and I don’t like Trump or Biden. But I am very much against cancel culture, and have never wanted anyone on either side to be cancelled. If you truly are against it, you shouldn’t want anyone on either side to experience it.
And I'm very much against that. My point is the left and right are just as bad.
Unless you can read minds, it's impossible to know whether or not he actually meant it. It was presented as a joke, so that makes it a joke. Innocent until proven guilty.

I have beliefs that would anger both sides, and I often say both sides are just as bad in many ways, and this is an example. I don't think either side "set the rules", I think both sides simply get triggered over everything.
Making jokes about it isn't "blood lust". How many comedians have made jokes about much worse things, like the holocaust? Do you think those comedians want another holocaust?
Not at all. I’m not sure whether I’d be considered a liberal or conservative. I’ve never taken a political compass test, I have beliefs that would anger both sides, and I think both sides are just as bad. I don’t like Trump or Biden.
You're making incorrect assumptions about my political beliefs. I'm not a Trump or Biden supporter, I don't like either of them. I have no idea whether I'd be considered left wing or right wing, I've never taken a political compass test, I have beliefs that would anger both sides. I often say both sides are just as bad in many ways, one example is the fact that both sides can't take a joke and support cancel culture. I have never wanted anyone on either side to be cancelled, and I do think cancel culture is real, although often is exaggerated, but both sides often support it. Jokes should never have consequences.
