Nobody likes the out of bounds, but the out of bounds has got to be there,\u201d\u00a0he said, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/katt-williams-cancel-culture-comedians\">Fox News<\/a>. \u201cSome of these things are for the benefit of everything. Nobody likes the speed limit, but it\u2019s necessary. Nobody likes the shoulder of the road, but it\u2019s there for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy point is, [people] weren\u2019t all that extremely funny back when they could say whatever they wanted to say. At the end of the day, there\u2019s no cancel culture. Cancellation doesn\u2019t have its own culture,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Neglecting the fact that world-class comedians like Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Burr, Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle have all trashed cancel culture in one way or another, Williams even said that comedians who are terrified of being canceled will not actually be missed when they are gone.\u201dI don\u2019t know what people got canceled that we wish we had back. Who are they? It\u2019s done for the reasons it\u2019s done for and it helped who it helped,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf all that\u2019s going to happen is that we have to be more sensitive in the way that we talk, isn\u2019t that what we want anyway? I\u2019m saying, your job as a comedian is to please the most amount of people with your art. So if you wanna offend somebody, nobody took those words away from you\u2026 But don\u2019t call somebody this word when you know it affects all of these people.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\" readability=\"17.162377994676\">\n<div readability=\"12\">\n<p>Katt Williams parting words of advice: leave comedy if you\u2019re afraid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf these are the confines that keep you from doing the craft God put you to, then it probably ain\u2019t for you,\u201d Williams concluded. \u201cGrowth is part of being an adult.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300\" readability=\"22.779545454545\">\n<p>Williams\u2019 tacit defense of cancel culture follows that of actor Seth Rogen, who recently said that comedians should stop complaining and own up if their jokes age poorly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are certain jokes that for sure have not aged well, but I think that\u2019s the nature of comedy,\u201d Rogen said during an appearance on \u201cGood Morning Britain.\u201d\u00a0\u201cI think conceptually those movies are sound and I think there\u2019s a reason they\u2019ve lasted as far as people still watching and enjoying them today.
