Should comedians have boundaries?

Nobody is going to hear a comedian make a joke then go out and commit a hate crime because of it. And even if they did, that's not the comedian's fault; jokes and actions are separate things and actions are the responsibility of the person who chooses to do them.

The notion that comedy causes real world harm is the same flawed logic used by the right back in the 90s when they argued that games like Doom were gonna make Millennials grow up to be a generation of sociopathic serial killers.

This.  Start restrictions on comedians and something else will be next.  Then something after that.

Remember when full abortion bans was an overreaction from the SCOTUS ruling?  Yeah, I do to.  But here we are.  

Restrictions aren't a good idea.  I stand by my original view, I'm stunned people are so quick to give up freedom that so many fought and died for.  

And if we start restrictions on speech, whomever holds that power has a ton of power....  like Russia and North Korea...  sounds lovely.
