> If, as a humorist, you are concerned about whether you can publish your humorous book you can be certain that you live in a cursed timeline.

This has literally always been the case. The topics have shifted, and some other details have changed, but in essence it's no difference. Try publishing a humorist book about, say, sex or religion in the 50s. Or the world wars, or maybe something that features gay characters. Or civil rights-type stuff (in US).
