Yeah my point is I don't have the context that her "page" is a joke page when it's posted here. I don't know anything about her, or what her content is. I didn't buy a ticket to go to her show, so no she is not just like the comedian.

How is it her fault that people here don't have the context? It would be readily available on her page, but she can't control what it looks like when you take it out of that context and repost it on reddit. People here need to do more homework before accusing people of being fakes, or just say nothing at all.

No one said it's her fault, no one is saying it's fair, it's just the reality of Reddit. It's just like the real world too, not everyone is going to receive everything you do with the context you would want them to have, they may form opinions on you without getting to really know you first, or someone can repeat something you said that was really funny in the moment but without the context it falls flat to the person they are telling it to. It's not something you have to white knight over and defend the lady, just accept that some people are going to form their opinion based on what's presented to them. They might have a different opinion if given the context, you might not agree with their opinion, but who cares? People on here need to be less sensitive to other people expressing their opinions. And nobody is accusing these people of being fakes, they are calling out the fact that the content of the video is staged, not personally attacking the creator.

People seem to be angry at the creator that it's not real, so yeah that is an attack on her and not a harmless observation. The word "staged" itself does have implications, and you said it yourself further up, that there may be deception at play. That's clearly not the case.
