It used to be that film sets were a type of "sanctuary" where actors could let their hair down away from the public eye and autograph seekers. Lots of laughs, practical jokes and a real camaraderie since you were spending more time together as a group than you were with your own family.
Unfortunately, with the recent focus on "feelings", #metoo and other virtue signaling it has turned into numerous meetings about "harassment", Equity/Inclusivity and Diversity, and everyone walking around on eggshells.
It seems that may have been the case here:
The 71-year-old “Ghostbusters” and “Caddyshack” comedian suggested the changing nature of what’s considered appropriate humor was a factor.
“It’s been quite an education for me,” he said. “The world is different than it was when I was a little kid. What I always thought was funny as a little kid isn’t necessarily the same as what’s funny now. Things change and the times change so it’s important for me to figure it out.”
