Why do comedians keep on defending her, then? Don't they hate joke thieves? Is it some liberal feminist comedian illuminati?!

"It's a one-liner, who gives a fuck? If someone's hanging on to a 20-year-old one-liner as being this essential part of her oeuvre that's crazy. One-liners are disposable," he said (the comments begin around the six-minute mark).
Maron systematically dismissed each recanted charge against Schumer, and then explained what he believes is really going on: misogyny. Maron shared a little of his own experience with misogynistic fans and said that he ultimately had to change the comments section of his site because it would flare up into an ugly, septic mess whenever a female guest would appear on his show.
"Garbage, slander, violence, just nasty shit just a string of anonymous monsters. That was the pattern," he said. "They're all dudes who champion this thing [the Amy Schumer joke-stealing controversy]. This has nothing to do with justice. This is about annihilating a woman
they put a lot of work into it to the point where they manipulated my words to suit their agenda and get that through."
The "monsters" Maron referred to weren't the three women who briefly accused Schumer of stealing their jokes, but rather the people behind the slew of spliced YouTube videos that have been cropping up in the aftermath of the initial (now-recanted) allegations. There have even been some reports that Schumer stole from Maron.
"What is happening with Amy, it has nothing to do with justice and nothing to do with comedy," Maron said. "This is about hate. It's about anger. It's about women-bashing. And it's this contingent of culture
Amy Schumer is just a fucking comic. Amy is an entertainer. And she's the real deal whether you like her jokes or not."
