    As a comic, yup. The insane thing is that low level comics often aren’t like that but once you get some taste of the audience they just get fucking blood thirsty. Toronto is bad for it too because of how many comedians flock here to get a start. I was already living here when I decided so while struggling, it wasn’t struggling for the same reason so people got whiny as hell at that too. Meanwhile I’m autistic and do it in spite of the audience, not particularly for them so I’ve just never gotten that. I’ve even had people here on Lemmy accuse me of just wanting to be famous. Bruh. I like making people happy. Not for the attention or anything. Making people happy makes me feel less shitty. How the hell does being a dick make them feel better?

    Agree with what you said. There’s no point in being around that type of constant negativistic energy in general, much less in comedy.
