    anymore

    I mean, it’s not like he was a lot funnier in the past. I think his performance is pretty much the same. How people perceive comedy is subjective of course, but I don’t think I never really laughed at his stuff. Smiled perhaps.

    His delivery is some sort of interesting though and he’s fun to listen to.

      I disagree with this point, I thought he was fucking hilarious before. but he is so goddamn preachy now even not counting the trans stuff.

        So you agree that how people perceive comedy is subjective, I guess. Could it be that he ridiculed people you don’t care about before?

          I don’t care about trans people though.

          As humans, yes, sure. But their group identity carries no special valence for me.

          So I think you raise a reasonable point, but I don’t think it’s an influence here.
