Oh, it’s for sure true that there are people from the 80s who didn’t like his humor. My parents had Cosby records when I was a kid, and I listened to them in the 90s. I found them to be corny with too much religious humor, so they weren’t my thing. Much like you and Harry Potter, I didn’t think Cosby was funny before everything came to light.

That being said, I was more likely to enjoy it before I knew he was a rapist than I am after. The main reason is that I just thought it was corny before - now I think it’s hypocritical at best, which is a much stronger ethical response than when I was a kid.
