"This cancel culture is killing everything" - Josh Taylor speaks out on Jimmy Carr controversy 

Josh Taylor has come out publicly to condemn cancel culture following the recent controversy surrounding comedian Jimmy Carr. Carr made some controversial comments about gypsies in his Netflix special. What was meant to be a joke turned into a huge issue with many people canceling Carr over it and petitioning to remove his special from Netflix.

Carr is known to be an edgy comedian and his jokes have sparked similar reactions in the past, although none as severe as this. In response to the backlash, 'The Tartan Tornado' tweeted out the following:

"If you don’t like someone’s humour & choose to take it out of context, just don’t listen or watch. It’s really that simple. You don’t haver to censor people just because some people don’t like it. This cancel culture is killing everything"

Take a look at the tweet:

Taylor did not agree with his comments or defend the comedian. He simply stated that comedy should never be taken seriously, and that people get offended too easily on the internet nowadays. Taylor himself received quite a lot of backlash for his Tweet. Fans tweeted out asking why Taylor was supporting Carr after what he said. Taylor replied saying it should be treated as a joke and if you don't like it, don't listen to it.
