“People like real authentic comedy, and I think that they would prefer that than some watered down, corporate boardroom bulls**t,” stand-up comedian Andrew Schulz said.
after a streamer wanted to censor certain jokes that it deemed were too offensive and could cause online backlash.
Schulz didn’t say who the streamer was, though some of his previous specials were released by Netflix. He said the jokes on the chopping block included one about an abortion clinic he once lived near in New York. In his announcement this week, Schulz said the unnamed streamer “freaked out” after watching the finished cut.
“They said we can’t put this out, and those jokes are wild, and we don’t want to deal with the backlash. So you’re going to have to edit some of these jokes or cut some of these jokes out entirely,” he said. “Some of you probably know this about me, I’m a very stubborn guy, so long story short, I took my fucking life savings and I bought my special back.”It’s simple really. I’m not gonna edit my material and cut out jokes bc a network is worried about Twitter backlash. That’s it.
