Transcript

So a lot of people have been trying to cancel Haskell for this baby clothes joke, joke he made when he was 13/14. And I'm gonna be honest, I do agree that the joke is very bad. It's not something you should joke about to to ruin his whole career for it. It's kind of pushing it because the truth is, when he made the joke, he was 13/14, you know, at that age, you don't really understand how harmful these jokes can be. And, you know, he's already addressed it, saying that he's apologized for it and he's aware that it's a really bad thing now. And that did it in his age, he did not know how harmful it is to destroy his whole career off of that, you know, because, you know, people learn and grow and those jokes are really unacceptable. But accountability, apologize for it. What's important now is that he doesn't make similar jokes again.
