I don’t disagree that it died when he left, nor that he was the star of the show.
It’s not humor that offends someone that I can’t tolerate, it’s the cringe. Maybe it’s because I was awkward growing up and I still sometimes blurt out things I shouldn’t (I blame ADHD for this one, I often don’t realize what I’ve said before I said it). Michael has the parts of my personality that I’m the most insecure about, amplified 100x.
You can directly make fun of me as a person and I’m not offended. Call me a planet, tell me I’m an idiot in some creative way, for any number of the stupid things I’ve done in my life, whatever… But Michael’s cringe just… hurts my soul.
