Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Here's a full list:
Happy Boycott!
EDIT: Corrected and expanded now, based on the feedback and what seem to be Saudi websites in English.
Be sure to fact check before putting people on blast and ruining their reputation.
The following comedians were openly critical of those who took the gig. These comedians DID NOT go. Okatsuka specifically revealed the details of the contract these comedians had to sign. Woods made a scathing video that went viral criticizing the lineup.
David Cross
Checked more than one outlet (apparently AI-written, since people like Maron are connected to it, but in a negative way) and came up with that conservative list.
I am also surprised there is no official website I can find.

Was gonna say, those exact names would be the people I expect to not go. Atsuko and Marc in particular would really surprise me.
Burr being on that list makes me angry. Come on man.
Yeah man, fuck. Saw his jpg-artifact-face on the Cross response linked in the thread and just thought, no, cannot be right. And here we are. So now there were two terrible people on the Mandalorian show, damn.
I'm not surprised, he's really just an ass.
He always seemed to be a principled ass, but I guess enough money can change that.
Yeah, I'm not sure why people are surprised he's a POS. Someone told me to watch a special show of his and first thing he was punching down on trans people. Fuck him.
Shane Gillis and Atsuko Okatsuka turned the invitation down.
Atsuko has been outspoken about it and Shane said on his podcast he wouldn't work for the people who did 9/11.

Aziz Ansari? Goddamn it...
I guess he really is a little creep after all.
kinda figure, i heard he was total creep/freak with woman. much like some others on the list.
No not Bill Burr come on man.
It's been even worse since he got back and has been defending it. His supposed defenses make it so much worse for me.
That’s not accurate. Marc Maron criticized it heavily. Shane Gillis turned it down.

This list is fucking inaccurate. Nice job posting bullshit and muddying the waters.

I appreciate the correction, but there were two names on that list that were mentioned in the article you linked as having turned down the money. 🤣
Turning down the money != not endorsing it. Can you expand on that?
TLDR: Who gives a shit?
A. Is it really necessary to split hairs like this here? You come across as just looking for a pointless, pedantic argument.
Obscure characterization of someone else's motivation != anything useful. (Am I doing this right?)
B. He fixed his list so it doesn't matter. And if you did see his original list, then you could just RTFA they linked and figure it out.
Being able to say something != Something should be said.
(Yup it looks just as pretentious when I do it.)
Are you even talking to the right person? I didn't link any article.
Okatsuka turned the offer down, Patel changed his mind, and Maron not only wasn't asked but has been outspokenly against the entire thing for like a month
Do you even know what's being discussed lol

Jimmy Carr. Wow.
That doesn't really surprise me
Yeah he and Jack Whitehall are both shite and I never expected more from them to be honest.
I imagine how Sean Lock would have responded to this
Exactly.
The second-least-surprising one after Chappelle
Nimesh Patel backed out about a week before and didn't end up performing
Lol how did you come up with this list? It's incorrect...

Corrected now.
Nice, thanks for taking the time to update. It's been tough to find a good source and it's not like these comedians are looking to publicize it either
People have a habit of repeating things they see from others. For instance you saw six other people made this same type of comment and you still made yours. So it's probably just like that.
Whew, I was worried! But that's an easy list to boycott. Never listened to any of them because they all sucked as comedians anyway.
C-list, tops.
