In the wake of a female audience member accusing Daniel Tosh of making a rape joke at her expense, comedians have taken to Twitter to comment on the controversy.
While numerous comedy fans and professionals have tweeted messages condemning Tosh's response to the female heckler, some comedy figures, including Jim Norton, Louis C.K. and Opie of The Opie & Anthony Show, have expressed support for Tosh and for a comedians' right to speak uncensored.
Dane Cook, who performed at The Laugh Factory on the same night as Tosh, had a darker message: easily offended people should kill themselves.
Not familiar with Anthony Jeselnik but his tweet was the worst I've seen.

the response I got was horrible until the kid was like, "maybe I was wrong." and then deleted everything. ha, take it.
wtf.
oh, and he wasn't trying to be ironic or whathaveyou with that last bit. smdh.
Then some other girl came in and was like "I WAS RAPED AND THIS DOESN'T BOTHER ME THAT GIRL WAS A PUSSY"
That was about the time I decided to not touch the conversation with a 20 foot pole and left.
ironically, those types of comments from those girls seem to have disturbed my male friends enough for them to stop misusing the word "rape" because I actually haven't heard any of them use it in eons
