Marlon Wayans is pushing again on political correctness and stated that he is not going to change his comedy type to outlive these days and appease the present technology.
In a current interview, Wayans was requested if a film like 2004’s White Chicks might “thrive” and never 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 informed 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 brokers, performed by Wayans and his brother Shawn, who go undercover as girls in whiteface to resolve a kidnapping plot. The movie was nominated for 5 Razzies together with Worst Picture, Worst Actress, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Couple.
Over time, some have thought of White Chicks problematic, however Wayans assured within the interview that he wouldn’t cease making movies that make individuals chuckle.
“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 just lately starred and produced The Curse of Bridge Hollow for Netflix which was launched on the streaming platform on October 14.
