I disagree. His old material was hilarious. And still is, IMO.

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.
