it comes up because they sell him as a tough guy. if he was a plucky baby trying to overcome his own weakness (a time tested way to book babies) it would be less of an issue. the name of the game is cognitive dissonance. the back of our brains know its all bullshit but we want to believe in the moment. we want to lie to ourselves. well with punk its a big fucking whopper. beyond plausibility.
imagine you're watching a film. its a horror movie. the first act is all tension. off screen kills. never seeing the monster. when you finally see it its a rediculous looking glorified teddy bear and the hand operating it is clearly in frame.
its not a horror film anymore. its unintentional comedy. thats punk. his credibility, or lack there of, is absolutely salient.
