The comedian in Vancouver didn't cave, he lost.  Here's what that was about:

1. The comedian started abusing two lesbian audience members after one kissed the other. (What he actually said wouldn't make it past the moderator.) He continued with similar abuse after his act, cornering one of them as she she returned from the washroom. He physically intimidated her, grabbing and breaking her sunglasses. Unsurprisingly, he lost, and was ordered to pay $15,000 total to the two women he abused.

2. The comedian appealed the Tribunal decision to the BC Supreme Court. He lost again. 

When will it dawn on you that you've been lied to about what Human Rights tribunals do?
