I got jumped on on reddit for suggesting the same thing. It feels like an active attempt to muddy the waters and dissuade honest discussion/criticism but I can't work out exactly why.

    It's because calling someone a joke sounds disparaging... even if they're a literal comedy character played by a comedian. So that's enough to put it in the wrong bin when people are making black and white judgements of "does this person wholly align with my views or not"
