Personally think people are making this a way bigger deal than it needs to be.

There is no backlash

Media created this fake backlash

No one on Earth cares at all

Only ones that might be caring are Islamophobic racists who still stuck in the early 00's views of Saudi and just muslims in general because somehow they are still the enemy to the West

I agree with everything but there most certainly is backlash by those people lol there's people fake outraging and virtue signaling all over social media. Hence why other comedians that were invited did the performative "i chose not to go bc morals"

I've thought about this a lot, honestly. I see that Saudi Arabia is trying to put on a better face for the world to see, and I know the people putting this on have done some truly horrific things to innocent people. That said, America is guilty of that too and nobody seems to be too up in arms about foreign artists coming to perform here. Kinda feels spineless to accept that money, but also, we still fw Dennis Rodman right? Even tho he's besties with Kim Jong Un? So idk. Most of these guys have plenty of money and I think agreeing to it considering what the leaked contract says is weasely

those are all the comedians that exist

if you have a problem with this then you have a problem with comedy

F*** those slave owners

Male guardianship laws are pretty wild ngl

Go be gay or trans in Saudi Arabia

Why are there no Saudi Arabian comedians on the lineup?

I was invited to perform at this but declined because of moral reasons

Niggas threw phobic on everything and s*** ain't been the same since lol

Pete davidson performing at this when his dad died in 9/11 LOL

Bad Bunny didnt tour America over ICE practices. Not everyones spineless

what a p****

bro said f*** my dad i need that cheque

Weird take for ktt lmao

Aint they mad homophobic and women don’t have the same rights as men

Didn’t they kill a journalist for speaking out

I’m not educated on this but the way yall gon on. On here surprise yall accepting

maga wishes they could move like this

Over half a million people in the city of Jeddah have been forcibly evicted and their homes demolished, to make way for luxury hotels and buildings.
A compensation scheme, announced after the demolitions, excludes foreign nationals, who make up nearly half of those impacted.

Were the comedians actually from SA executed or something? :ariscared:

Did this post come from 2017 or something

Not everyone is as illiterate as you

W Starvos

Shane Gillis also turned it down. Kinda surprised

Yup!

Saudi is buying up American cultural institutions at an alarming rate!

It’s all good though, we are content as long as the money keeps flowing!

SAD!
