Joe Rogan’s been the center of controversies for a long time now. Long-time UFC commentator and analyst run a very successful podcast by the name of The Joe Rogan Experience. JRE is well known for all sorts of people coming over and discussing the most bizarre issues with absolutely no filter at all.
Rogan was swamped by criticism after he criticized the effectiveness of the government-approved Coronavirus vaccine. The entire medical community went after him, and a lot of celebrities asked Spotify to remove his content from the platform. Rogan apologized for his statement, and just as everything was about to cool down, a video of him saying the ‘N-word’ surfaced online.
Rogan was once again the center of attention, and many athletes came in to defend him. Many claimed that Rogan is a victim of ‘the cancel culture’ and holding on to his past mistakes is not a good idea. Rogan talked about the whole cancel culture and overly sensitive people in his podcast with Tom Papa.

Rogan said, “It’s like wokeness killed comedy movies in a lot of ways. Do woke people make comedy? Is there a woke comedy movie? Is there even an attempt? Is there even an attempt at a politically correct comedy movie? They just stopped making comedy movies. It’s not just that, it’s like all abhorrent behavior, it’s not an endorsement.”
He added, “For example, American Psycho! You can do American Psycho today, and it wouldn’t be an endorsement of a person who’s a serial killer, it would just be a film about a serial killer. But there’s a weird thing that happens when you’re making fun of something. When you’re making fun of something, it’s like an endorsement of whatever that activity is, even if it’s like completely unacceptable.”
