This is also the reason comedy gets unfairly shit on: in the name of white knighting or whatever people will deliberately misunderstand the butt of the joke and assuming whomever is saying it is perpetuating harmful stereotypes. This in spite of how ridiculous it would be for an obviously intelligent, talented person to be saying this stuff for real (and that it usually wouldn't even qualify as a joke to begin with if they were being serious about it)
Artists need to have the freedom to depict problematic characters or situations, otherwise it just comes off as preaching
