I want to address something Jimmy Kimmel says here. "Comedy is very democratic. The people who are great, rise to the top; the people who are good, rise to the middle; and the people who aren’t good, don’t make it."http://www.vulture.com/2018/10/jimmy-kimmel-louis-c-k-comedy-cellar-comebacks.html?utm_campaign=vulture&utm_medium=s1&utm_source=tw …

I like this tweet, but it’s also kinda saying quality doesn’t exist and the only reason people make it is because they had the chance. So if we give the chance to others they’ll make it just the same.

This is a really good and useful metaphor! What a good way to clarify a complex idea that causes a lot of people to stumble. I’ll definitely remember this for future discussions about representation

Exactly! Acknowledge your innate biases, work to overcome them. Bring diverse voices to the conversation & be willing to listen. It's the ONLY way forward. So sad that some ppl feel threatened by that; looking outside themselves is so scary.

What the actual hell are you talking about? look, I get the attempted sentiment here, but bottom line can be found in terms of free markets. In the free market that is comedy audiences will decide who is or isn't funny. Just like any other industry. Male, female, old, young, etc

Some people like to blame the system and arm chair quarterback when they can’t make it. It’s easier to take a nuanced approach against an ally because it you can score “takedown” points. There’s nothing to lose with this kind of take
