As a genX, I can’t understand the whole ‘trigger warning’ thing. We were shown Schindler’s List in history class at age 13, and it’s pretty graphic and upsetting. That was the point! BE upset, BE appalled, BE sick to your stomach about what really happened. It’s on us to never let it be forgotten. Not to hide in a corner because it’s too confronting.

I truly agree with you. I used to think I had plenty of friends, but then when I realized all the women I was friends with seemed like they had a high school mentality. Talked shit about me, jealous of me, and actually think I'm stupid over my politics. I am glad I have a couple of good girl friends that I don't have to worry about them trying to steal my life or my husband. Not that my husband can be stolen. You know what I mean... we all know those women! Oh, they'll try and smile at you while they are trying to wreck your world.

YES to this. I cut a friend out of my life the second i moved out of the apartment near her house. I figured it was then or never. She was so toxic, i couldnt believe what i put up with. She manipulated me into so many bad situations and used me as a wing woman to go out and pick up guys, but whenever i tried to meet someone and came close to doing it, she would look for an excuse to get out of whatever bar we were in saying she wanted to go somewhere else. She was just fucking awful and one of the few things in my life ive gotten rid of that i have zero regrets about.

[@stevefrayne]

This message is to producers of REAL TIME and to Bill Maher himself… THANK YOU for doing this segment. I wish you would expand this and do it monthly or at least quarterly…for three reasons. 1. It’s very funny and has a good pace which will not get old. Quite the contrary; it will get more popular and more funny as it scales up as the audience knows the beats to expect (just like New Rules). 2. It’s the right thing to do. 3. This will pay huge dividends in ten years when this flood tide of cancellation has reversed and we all look back at the heroes that pushed back in the moment. If you go “all in” on this segment you will be indisputably atop the list of reformer heroes who had the balls to make cancellation efforts radically uncool. Thank you again for taking a very funny, very principled stand.

[@TheJeremyKentBGross]

The only down side to this is that it should have started ten years ago. Plus it's not always dumb college students, from the start it was often some of their unhinged professors egging them on like that red head lady directing protestors to forcibly remove an Asian student journalist for simply taking pictures. Then there is governing bodies like the Canadian Human Rights Commission (or council?) and now Board of Psychology going after Jordan Peterson. This isn't all just over sensitive kids, and it never has been.

[@TaxmanTV]

Great idea. I would nominate the producer (which could technically include Tom Cruise) for the decision in Top Gun Maverick to include the original Taiwan patch on Maverick's bomber jacket on the final movie release (was left out for trailer). China adamantly wanted it removed otherwise it would not show the film in China, which would've lead to easily 300-400 mil in additional revenue for the production company, but on principle they took a stand and gave a big FU to China by leaving the patch on. A Cojonesy decision for sure.

[@salvosalva]

At least you make more money if you choose to alter your film to adhere to China's strict regulations. What money do companies make when they agree to comply with the wokies' madness?

[@bobbyf1741]

Actually they CGI'd it in after having removed it. The production buckled under financial pressure from Tencent. But when the company pulled their financing anyway the patches returned.

[@ILoveGrilledCheese]

It was removed for Chinese viewers, you know that right?

[@pdoylemi]

@@salvosalva Wokies aren't the problem - they are just annoying as hell. People who ban books and drag shows, and freak out because Bud Light was endorsed by a trans person, and write anti-trans legislation, and don't say gay bills, and punish companies that object, and ban the teaching of honest history in schools because it might hurt some snowflake's feelings are the problem. "Wokies" bitch and moan, and some choose to respond to that - it's called FREEDOM! Freedom for them to bitch, and freedom for companies to decide (right or wrong) that it will be better for business to listen to them. It is the anti-woke crowd trying to use the iron fist of the state to silence expression they don't like. They are the real threat - not blue haired keyboard warriors.

I love it as well. I just wish Bill Maher only had the cojones a few years ago when he joked on his show and said "I'm a house ni**a", and had Michael Eric Dyson and Ice Cube on the show the following week to condemn him for having the audacity to say the word in any context. I think if that whole thing happened now, Bill would take a different approach to it.

Amen, chucking all the way through . Good work.

Bill Maher is the greatest. The Cojones Awards should be a regular segment. Thanks, Bill, for using humour to turn the world the right way up again.

When I was in college, 20+ years ago, some guy in America History class had threw a tantrum when the professor talked about human sacrifices by the Aztecs. He yelled like a maniac and said there was no proof and it was a lie. The professor politely asked him to leave his class. That guy never came back to class. There was no BS back then; if you felt insulted then you’d s just drop out of that class. No professor would cater to your version of reality or cuddle you if you couldn’t handle the truth. 😅

[@leroilapue15]

That is a perfect example of people who cannot deal with reality...ffs those temples have so many human bones around them they are like gravel under foot smh

[@tuele4302]

Students who disrespect the class and the instructor should be immediately kicked out.

[@robintst]

Sadly now the institutions themselves are trying to rewrite the history they teach, schools and colleges really are nothing but full-blown indoctrination camps these days.

[@timestamp2525]

​@@tuele4302this is also a Horrible approach especially in the scientific fields. It should rather depend on HOW said student expressed the disrespect. If not, they'd still be learning about humours and leeching in medical schools

[@tuele4302]

@@timestamp2525 Yelling, interrupting the instructor, pathological antisocial attitudes, and blatant disrespect for the teacher/professor and fellow students are not signs of a person who cares about education. Such an individual should be expelled.

When Bill is wrong, he is wrong - and that makes him human. But when he is right, he nails the landing like a professional. Nicely done, sir.

[@gustavoritter7321]

This is actually a very good idea, considering how much Americans like awards and how much attention they get.

[@lennonacid]

It's also a good idea considering how much Americans are so obsessed with who actually has NUTS and who hasn't.

A better idea would be to watch the 14-minute 1942 US Department of Agriculture video, *Hemp for Victory,* and learn how to grow "Marihuana" to fight against fascism and climate change.
