I think it's hard time to not be an asshole and work in comedy. A friend of mine got into stand up and it was just an avenue for him to teach everyone about the stereotypes he believes in. Before he was just this friend who said shit and we could ignore and change the subject, and then he got an audience and it was like everything he believed in was automatically approved and appropriate. If it got groans from people in the crowd "but they're women so who cares hahaha'. Covid took a lot of these people over the edge.
