YES !!!! I 100% agree to this.
There was a time when comedy was direct, meaning there was no 'fear of being cancelled' involved. Now, this may sound as 'not-so-complex' thing, but that is far from reality. As any comedian, feedback is a very important tool, and also 'messing-up'. Making mistakes, messing up, taking thing too far is the bread and butter for a rising comedian, because that's something that directly links the jokes and it's connection with the audience to the comic.
But today, comics are more and more afraid of the 'cancel-hammer'. One wrong statement and the industry will kick you out. There have been so many cases where the 'Offensive Statement' in question had been said ages ago, and the speaker had to suffer the consequences after so long, even after apologizing repeatedly.
In my perspective, unless the comics are given freedom, they won't be able to study and fine-tune their comedy skills. So, taking away this tool and forcing them to be afraid has changed the comedy-industry more than a "little"
