“I mean, listen, you’re only going to be cancelled if you’re racist and sexist and you’re discriminating against people and even then you’re not getting cancelled,” Chelsea said. She added that she wasn’t afraid of being called out because “I’m not an idiot.”
“I wish everyone would stop complaining about these parameters that have been placed on us. That’s a good thing… it’s not a tall order to not be sexist and not be racist, so if you have a problem with that, then you should really start to question yourself,” she continued.
Chelsea noted a positive aspect of cancel culture: “I think it forces comedians to be more clever.”
How did she respond to people who are sick of discussing cancel culture? “This cancel culture thing… I’m just sick of everyone complaining about it. It would be over if everyone just stopped talking about it,” she said.
