Marlon Wayans is pushing back on political correctness and said that he will not change his comedy style to survive in this day and age and appease the current generation.
In a recent interview, Wayans was asked if a movie like 2004’s White Chicks could “thrive” and not fall into “cancel culture.”
“I think they’re needed. I don’t know what planet we’re on, where you think people don’t need laughter, and that people need to be censored and canceled. If a joke is gonna get me canceled, thank you for doing me that favor,” he told Buzzfeed. “It’s sad that society is in this place where we can’t laugh anymore. I ain’t listening to this damn generation.”
White Chicks is a comedy directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans about two Black FBI agents, played by Wayans and his brother Shawn, who go undercover as women in whiteface to solve a kidnapping plot. The film was nominated for five Razzies including Worst Picture, Worst Actress, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Couple.
Over time, some have considered White Chicks problematic, but Wayans assured in the interview that he would not stop making films that make people laugh.
“I ain’t listening to these folks: These scared-a** people, these scared executives,” he added. “Y’all do what you want to do? Great. I’m still gonna tell my jokes the way I tell them. And if you want to make some money, jump on board. And if not, then I’ll find a way to do it myself. I know my audience. My audience comes to my shows every weekend and they leave feeling great and laughing. One thing about the Wayans, we’ve always told the worst joke the best way.”
Wayans recently starred and produced The Curse of Bridge Hollow for Netflix which was released on the streaming platform on October 14.

Saturday Night Live took on the Republicans’ lineup of high-profile midterm candidates Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz and Kari Lake, skewering them for their lack of experience and extremist ideas even as they have a good shot at winning their races, driven by their celebrity status.
Marlon Wayans and the entire Wayans clan have always made films that push the limits of what is considered “decent” to get a laugh. Well before their time on “In Living Color,” Keenan Ivory Wayans was shocking people with the cult classic comedy, “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.” And of course, years later, Shawn and Marlon Wayans continued to push the boundaries with “White Chicks,” a film that many point to as an example of a hit feature that has not really held up over the years due to its misogynistic and racial humor.

J.K. Rowling.During an appearance at the Cheltenham Literature Festival on Tuesday (October 11), the presenter discussed his views on cancel culture with interviewer Mariella Frostrup.Norton said: “You read a lot of articles in papers by people complaining about cancel culture and you think, ‘In what world are you cancelled?’ I’m reading your article in a newspaper, or you’re doing interviews about how terrible it is to be cancelled? I think the word is the wrong word. I think the word should be ‘accountability’.”When asked about how that applies to Rowling, who is described as facing “anger, rage and attempts at censorship” for her views on transgender people, Norton replied: “What I feel weird about this is when I’m asked about it, then I become part of this discussion.One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen.
The 1975 frontman Matty Healy has opened up about his feelings on ‘cancel culture’, and his reasons for quitting Twitter after a controversial post back in 2020.Speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read cover story to mark the release of their fifth album, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, the frontman discussed deactivating his Twitter account back in 2020 following backlash to a Tweet he made after the death of George Floyd.Following Floyd’s death at the hands of policeman in the US and the subsequent public outcry and growth of the Black Lives Matter movement, Healy Tweeted: “If you truly believe that ‘ALL LIVES MATTER’ you need to stop facilitating the end of black ones.”The post also shared the video to The 1975’s single ‘Love It If We Made It’, which features the lyrics “selling melanin and then suffocate the black men / Start with misdemeanours and we’ll make a business out of them“. Many Twitter users then accused Healy of appropriating Black Lives Matter to sell and promote his own music, before he apologised for any upset and deleted his account.Speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read, Healy told us: “By that point, my reaction in the room to all that Twitter shit was like, ‘Oh fuck off! You know that I’m not using this as an opportunity to monetise the half-a-pence I get paid for a fucking YouTube play’.
The Californian judge overseeing the class action lawsuit being pursued by musician Maria Schneider against YouTube has again said that he doesn’t feel it would be appropriate to dismiss the case via summary judgement, reckoning there are key questions that can only be answered at trial.Schnieder’s lawsuit argues that – while YouTube has its Content ID rights management system to help large-scale copyright owners manage the use and posting of their content by the Google-owned service’s users – for independent creators who don’t have access to that system it’s impossible to monitor and manage the unlicensed use of their work on the video platform.And, she adds, the manual takedown systems offered by YouTube to those independent creators are not sufficient, which means the Google site is not fulfilling its obligations to enjoy safe harbour protection from liability for the copyright infringement on its platform.There have been plenty of twists and turns in this dispute, not least because Schneider was originally joined by a co-plaintiff who then had to drop out after being accused of some dodgy dealings in his attempts to get access to Content ID.Throughout YouTube has been trying to get the litigation dismissed, often arguing that Schneider does in fact have access to Content ID via her distributor, and that her music industry business partners had actually provided licences covering her music.However, generally the judge overseeing the case, James Donato, has knocked back those dismissal requests, including earlier this summer when he said that YouTube’s arguments in favour of dismissal were “unavailing” and “not well taken”.According to Law360, there was another hearing on the case last week.
