The page does not accuracately convey Owen Benjamin Smith

Owen Benjamin is no longer a "comedian". For years now he has been a far right, holocaust denying conspiracy theorist. There are 5+ articles from reliable sources, including non-profits (SPLC) and regular news that describe him as such. As of now, the article does not convey that Benjamin no longer is simply a 'comedian'and he no longer performs shows. Moreover, he is more so a 'former' actor than an actor as he has not been involved in film in years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TruthBuster21223 (talk • contribs) 08:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been cleaned up to keep in line with a objective wikipedia page - & is watched closely to stay clean. Comedians are inherently - & sometimes invisibly - a deeply philosophical area of society - see "dialectic"/"safe space" ... sometimes we forget that with political fashions/passions. Benjamin has naturally found more relevant platforms where his content has more positive flow. The article does need balancing that Benjamin is non really against any one group - he just likes deconstructing the zeitgeist (see talk archive for more).

article uses pc jargon like *hate speech* (?). please rewrite in plain English. 2600:1006:B044:D29B:3CB3:446F:4057:EB7E (talk) 00:50, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Those are two pretty basic English words. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 04:14, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Hate speech" is slang/buzzword - that fails as objective english for use in a Wikipedia article's main descriptive text &c. Benjamin's article is far from perfect. Sub-tabloid type websites as sources for main text is what negated my interest in Wikipedia as anything other than a really good search engine type hyper-concordance &c.
