What if thats the reason it wasn't funny?


"He hurt my feelings" isn't valid criticism.

Not finding a joke funny because the premise was distasteful is.

Why is he entitled to host the Oscars? Why should we care that it's his dream?

If the people who run the Oscars believe that his comments mean that he is not what they want in a representative, why is that bad? If people believe his apology was made for business and social reasons, and not from growth and contrition, what's is that illegitimate?

Does forgiveness mean we treat people like they never said what they said or did what they did? If so, how does that differ from straight up not caring about what they said or did and not caring about the underlying issue or racism, sexism, homophobia etc?


And this is cancel culture.

It is not about persuasion, it is about pain.

Ofc you don't care that he apologized and changed his mind.
You care that he gets canceled.


I have no interested in causing unnecessary pain. I have no interest in causing pain or in punishment in most cases in general. I actively like Kevin Hart and consider him pretty funny at times.

So this is about persuasion. His "jokes" furthered harmful views about LGBT youth and the ridiculousness or harmfulness of the views was not the premise. You were supposed to empathize with or agree with him. When asked to genuinely respond to the idea that he was supporting harmful views, he doubled down, then hemmed and hawwed, then apologized, then played the victim, then doubles downed again and apologize again. He was not a model of genuine apology. It can be done and he didn't do it.

Gotta go the Bill Burr route (incidentally does he still have his Netflix cartoon?) and never apologize. People can freak out but if you don't respond there's nothing more for them to freak out to.

Kevin Hart got too big for his past, happens to a lot of people. Although I do think it's weird to hold people to a standard that has just been established now (nobody cared about his gay jokes until like last year).

And fwiw pretty much all my favorite comedians are getting shit on in one way or another for being offensive. It's starting to become a sort of litmus test.

Trying to pretty up bigotry by calling it "comedy" does not make it not bigotry.

Nobody cared when he mocked white people for years (I admit my white ass thought it was hilarious)... but as he said, can't rile up the "alphabet people" lmao

Seriously guys, stop asking for equality if your idea of equality is "treat us better/differently than everyone else".

Finally watched it also. It was great, no clue what the bitching is about. Nothing will ever top "Killing Them Softly," but Dave is still top tier. Really enjoyed the stories in the epilogue also.

It was only because of that one Vice article that I saw posted earlier this week that I found out Dave had a new special out on Netflix. I thought it was a blast, and I learned a good deal. Bird shot. Buck shot! Bird shot. Buck shot!

Also, I really appreciated that he's shedding light on the opioid crisis and also relating it back to the crack epidemic. The former doesn't get enough attention, and old folks around me barely ever talk about the crack epidemic back in the day. I don't read enough so I do enjoy the history lessons.

And it was a dick move for the Vice article to lambast him for the MJ molesting jokes. They portrayed it in a false light as the whole joke was predicated on the assumption that the person was already molested. Chappelle was operating on a guesstimate that a good portion of his audience (or any crowd) had been molested at a young age. So the joke was, would you rather get molested by whoever molested you, or get your dick sucked by the King of Pop?

We are flustered because we are scared that these internet overreactions are going to kill the market for good comedy.

Chapelle has made fun of everyone throughout his career. White people, black people, old people, children, celenrities, homeless, drug addicts, etc. Nobody had a problem but now suddenly people are getting on the internet and saying they have a problem with him making fun of people. Why? What happened that made everyone so overly sensitive?
