Solution

I got Laravel to work at last. There's probably a smarter way but in the validator method I use the array $data, and in the create method - the Request $request. Don't forget to namespace both the validator and the request into the controller

    protected function validator(array $data)
    {
        return Validator::make($data, [
            'content' => 'required'
        ]);
    }

    protected function create(Request $request)
    {
        return Comment::create([
            'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
            'content' => nl2br($request->input('content'))
        ]);
    }
