I’ve heard far worse than jokes about cancer or trans gender. If you are going to listen or watch comedy then toughen up or go watch something more to your liking. Please stop deciding what is comedy & not. It’s the age old argument about art. Humans are continually being offended by art.

I can’t respect anyone who makes cancer jokes
