This joke is fucking hilarious
This just comes off as whiny. "I'm getting cancelled again by being given another special, boo hoo."
And then uses literally the "one joke" conservatives have about pronouns. There's nothing funny or creative about that joke. It's been told a billion times by conservative talking heads.
There's an entire subreddit dedicated to it. r/onejoke
I mean, "she died of lonliness because liberals can't say the n word" is pretty funny. And being offended about the pronoun joke but not the nword is also his point, I think.
And he's a fucking genius. Because, as far as I can tell, all of his trans jokes are really funny or nuanced. But his handicap jokes, some of them are just downright lame and insulting.
And everyone's coming after him for his trans jokes, not his handicap jokes.
You can't punch down on transpeople, their propaganda reach is massive. People are AFRAID to say the littlest bit negative about them.
That's why the handicap jokes. He wanted to show what actually happens when you punch down: nothing. No one gives a shit.
Anyway, that's my headcanon. Otherwise, some of these handicap jokes are completely inexcusable and don't live up to the standard set by his trans jokes.
