They don't see the difference. There's this fundamental disconnect in their minds and ours. They see both comedy and journalism as "telling people my opinions and getting praise for it" instead of as a service for the audience.
If you subscribe to their world view, this guy is ‘funny’ in that sense. If you believed all that nonsense, the structure of what this guy’s saying is comedy. The bigger issue is that some people actually believe that world view, despite all evidence to the contrary.
It is funny, to certain people. The issue is more that those people exist than the comedy. Kind of like when people around here make fun of wokies. If you don’t believe in that stuff, making fun of it is funny. If you do believe in it, the jokes don’t sound true and it stops being funny.
God, I hate the “trans people exist” busllhit so much though.
NOBODY is arguing that they don’t exist. We can fucking see and hear them with our eyes and ears. Nobody doesn’t believe they’re physically real with corporeal form. Such an idiotic fuckin talking point.
Our point of contention is that they’re WRONG, incorrect and misguided in believing that hacking stuff from their bodies and taking hormone pills means they’ve changed their gender. And they should stay THE FUCK AWAY from our children. That is the central crux of the issue here.
But the left being the left like to dumb things down into mental sound bites for their cultists.
“Muh trans people exist!!! 😩”

Yes, 100%. They've chosen this hill to die on, they won't back down from it, so they're making it imperative to stop them.
Equally important, from a societal health perspective, is that they stop forcing everyone to validate them. I know free speech doesn't seem as immediately urgent as protecting kids from them, but on a broader scale it's still extremely important. A society can't function if it's chasing a ridiculous delusion, forcing everyone to take part in it and criminalizing anything that disagrees.
The fact that all of their arguments are semantic nonsense that don't actually say anything, but get lapped up and cheered on anyway, is a sign of how bad things are.
I suppose part of the problem is that even in your response, you’re using ‘gender’ in the sense they use it instead of saying their ‘sex’. Gender used to just refer to the implied or analogous ‘sex’ of things that don’t have it, like words in languages like Spanish. It was just used at times as a synonym for sex outside of that. Now, it’s been completely corrupted.
I don't think there's a single stand up comedian who doesn't just lecture you and is for a change funny. Kevin Heart and Bill Burr don't do much lecturing, but they're extremely unfunny and just loud, maybe they even started lecturing I haven't seen any of their recent stuff.
Sad state of comedy when I have to watch some old Eddie Griffin and CK standups to actually get a chuckle out of a standup.

Facepalm every time I hear that.

I was gonna say sermon
That’s how it seems whenever I see the monologues to any of the late night shows. The host just drones on about whatever social issue du jour.
