- Actor Tim Allen, comedian Adam Corolla, and radio talk show host Dennis Prager are crowdfunding a film titled No Safe Spaces, "aimed at disrupting the liberal and PC culture in Hollywood, on college campuses and in comedy".![]()
- Allen's ABC sitcom, Last Man Standing, was cancelled last year after a 6-year run. Allen and his fans claim that the show was canned because he and his character expressed conservative opinions; ABC claims the cancellation had nothing to do with politics.
- Allen has stated that "there is nothing more dangerous, especially in this climate, than a funny, likable conservative character.”

- Corolla commented, “nothing kills comedy quite like people who are constantly offended... It’s impossible to be funny if we’re not allowed to poke fun at each other and that’s what’s happening with a new generation of people who seem to be offended for a living...If we can’t have fun with one another than we lose our humanity. If free speech goes, then our basic freedoms will follow soon after.”
- No Safe Spaces features a scene in which African-American comedian Karith Foster complains that she can no longer tell a particular joke about how she is often not considered black enough because she grew up in a white suburb. Quote: "Why, because I enunciate? Because I finish my sentences? Because I happen to know who my father is?”
- The movie also focuses on the trend of college campuses canceling conservative speakers due to student protests. Prager sees this trend as "alarming evidence of the deep misunderstanding of the First Amendment in American society" and states that the "contemporary left is the greatest threat to free speech in American history."
