Especially because his jokes are the kind of jokes actual transphobes would use and laugh at.

Yeah this is absolutely where lines cross into problematic where comedians need to start listening to the voices of their targets - because to be entirely fair a lot of people don't know the kind of harassment particular minorities really face, in this instance what transphobes are saying to trans people. And if you cross over that line, all you have to do is acknowledge it and move away from that comedy rather than doubling down and dismissing.

Really as it's topical this also applies to a lot of old South Park humour I enjoyed in my younger days that now puts me off. Although keeping in mind yeah looking that many years back you're gonna find a lot of bad stuff we've grown from and look bad to most people now, but I can't really speak to South Park's newer stuff I don't watch.

Kinda regret adding to the voices of casual dismissal, but hey it was an honest question and I knew that I would learn more about it in time.

In the end I'm just always glad when people acknowledge mistakes and hopefully grow from there.
