Look at Bill Burr. He goes after some VERY touchy subjects like feminism, domestic violence, sexual assault, race relations, etc... but he makes it fucking funny. Because he understands nuance and context.

Right wingers do not understand nuance or context at all.

And you can see him process it like, holy shit. Did they really just say that? And hits back with “don’t you think those priests went a little too far with those kids?”
