In 2010, in a skit on her Comedy Central show, unfunny comedienne Sarah Silverman told a kid to pee in her mouth, then asked another unfunny comedian, Patton Oswalt, if he’s attracted to children. At first denying he is, Oswalt then made the devil's horns hand sign as he leered at a teen boy passing by.

I'm not into Patton Oswalt at all - think his stand-up is kinda whack, but he might be a decent joke writer I'm not really sure... Silverman on the other hand is an incredible stand-up IMO as well as a great joke writer (ignoring her blatant liberal-pandering material)
def sucks to see a lot of names like Sarah Silverman, Larry David and Dan Harmon pop up here on #Pizzagate, people who's work I respect - but it seems just about everything Hollywood produces is corrupted in one way or another... I mean I've long now accepted that The Beatles are basically just a farce/psy-op, so I'm pretty used to my heroes being toppled
however, I hope we are exercising wisdom in our research as a whole - keep looking into comedians as long and much as is prudent, but do remember that these people have probably said many offensive things as it is the nature of their craft... hard evidence that these people are abusers is what we want

Ok, but what do you say in reference to James Gunn since he's not a comedian?

what do you mean? seems obvious James Gunn is a weirdo, wasn't he being investigated for CP too? that's pretty substantial
my point wasn't that we shouldn't be following up on people who say questionable things - where there is smoke there is usually fire, and anyone who is making the big bucks in the entertainment biz it seems has probably witnessed unspeakable things... however, instead of posting every single unsavory joke someone once said, maybe it would be more effective to bring attention to actual incriminating evidence
just my thought, wasn't trying to piss anyone off or talk shit

What I'm saying is while your point about comedians pushing the limits on such jokes may be due to the fact that they are comedians, how does that explain James Gunns jokes since he's not a comedian?

I guess I don't think it has anything to do with James Gunn, I wasn't initially speaking on him - he's not a comedian, and his jokes aren't funny just weird
most jokes about pedo shit are uncomfortable, I don't think people typically enjoy that type of material even from big name comedians
