“Things to stop laughing without offending minorities” becomes a trend on the internet after the Leo Lins case

The São Paulo Court of Justice ordered a comedy special by comedian Leo Lins to be taken off the air, which had comments about slavery and people with disabilities. Soon after, the presenter and also comedian Fábio Porchat came to his colleague's defense. The action provoked controversy, but also generated a humorous trend that quickly went viral on all social networks.

The trend of 'things to laugh about for three business days' highlighted funny videos and images that do not allegedly involve crimes or offenses against any minority.

Last Wednesday (17), the court ordered YouTube to take down the former SBT employee's special because it contained jokes about slavery and people with disabilities. But what shook the internet were the comments from the producer/presenter and comedian Fabio Porchat condemning what he calls censorship.

Porchat argues that removing a comedy special from the air because of a joke is a type of censorship, prohibited by the Brazilian Constitution. And that cases of crime – such as racism – are subsequently punished in accordance with the law.

Porchat's comment sparked outrage in some communities, leading to a movement to cancel the comedian.
