    As a massive fan of his older work, I was disappointed to see he has since turned his hand to creating transphobic jokes in his more recent material.

    Also find it a bit weird how he consistently proclaims how much he loves animals more than most humans.

      If you listen to George Carlin, he often takes the same stance without really mentioning animals.

      Just that he doesn’t like humans.

        Still a strange take IMO.

        Bad individual human behaviour often pales into insignificance when contrasted with wild animal behaviour.

        Unless you count the ongoing ecocide we as a collective are in the midst of enacting…

          There is a level of forgiveness people cam give animals since most pets top out at non-speaking toddler levels of intelligence.

          Humans OTOH are capable of much greater and therefore receive less grace/forgiveness/leeway

            Pets are usually provided with everything they ever need by their owners so they have little reason to show their brutal side.

          I just think it’s egos on override. Looking down an everyone else because they place themselves and their opinions so high.
