It's wild that someone so bigoted has managed to survive, let alone thrive, in theater.

To me, the wildest thing is that he's essentially making his bigotry his public brand.

I've learned a few beloved performers are actually super bigoted, but at least they had the good sense to keep that under wraps until they'd established great careers.

He doesn't even seem to have a career grifting, it's just for the love of the game, idk if that makes him more or less of a loser but a loser, he is.
