On the August 15 broadcast of MBS’s “Tsukai! Akashiya Denshidai,” Akashiya Sanma opened up about how stifling TV production has become these days. On 5ch, threads erupted into a generation-tinged clash between users who see stricter compliance as simply “the times changing” and those who call it “pure self-censorship.”

Just shows how out of touch Yoshimoto comedians are with the times.
Yoshimoto Kogyo clearly needs to keep up the compliance training.
If it's as light as those squeaky toy hammers, that kind of bit is completely doable.
People are just holding themselves back for no reason.
Hinatazaka46 is obsessed with comedy.
If you can't keep up with change, you should retire.
Didn't this old guy say he'd retire around 60 or something?
His word doesn't mean much, huh.
Compliance-ignoring content is popular on streaming platforms, so clearly there's demand.
They just shouldn't be using public airwaves for it.
Well~ "saying stuff you're not supposed to say" used to be a comedian's whole job, right~
Same reason dramas are interesting — they show "things you shouldn't do in real life."
when's De La Cruz gonna surpass Ohtani's hitting?
No way a switch-hitting shortstop pulls off 50-50.
Don't you know he blows a ton of steal attempts?
Takeshi: cultured.
Kansai comedians: no culture.
Takeshi once analyzed it as: "Sanma doesn't have the knowledge base to talk things through intellectually, so all he can do is tell stories from personal experience."
That's exactly why Sanma still gets on stage a few times every year without fail.
Most comedians stop performing live once they've made it big, so it's impressive he still stands in front of an audience.
It's pathetic when comedians get so obsessed with looking stylish that they forget they're comedians.
They've started saying nonsensical stuff like "manzai is cool."
But whether it's funny or not is the only thing that matters.
Sponsor companies that keep hiking prices while still throwing money at TV and celebrities are basically an antisocial force.
Bet you'd say YouTube is fine though lol
When are you gonna realize this kind of "poor little me" minority grandstanding is exactly what's scaring off sponsors
and turning TV and the internet into boring content?
This crappy compliance stuff is outdated now.
Time for an update.
The old days are the ones to avoid, honestly.
Comedians' human rights being ignored, female talents being sexually exploited — it was genuinely unpleasant to watch.
