https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/dave-chappelle-netflix-special-called-023227781.html Its funny that he is getting called out for this when he made a comment about how there is always something you aren't allowed to make fun of at any given moment and right now that is trans people.

You've always been disgusting for making fun of trans people, even if it was before "the public agreed with that stance" which is only very recently

Regardless of the jokes, I've been finding his specials less and less funny. It's mostly him just saying 'suck my dick' and smacking the side of his leg with the mic. I'll check it out and see how I feel.

I haven't actually watched the parts in question, but I'm going to guess he isn't actually making jokes about Trans people. You can joke about almost anything. But from what I've seen, he's making jokes at the expense of trans people. Which is not the same, and why it crosses the line.Comedy has always made jokes at the expense of people. It's usually funnier than trying to filter out what jokes you can and cannot make. And what exactly marks the distinction between jokes about trans people that are or arent at their expense. Like what qualifies as not being at their expense because I feel like that's a difficult line to straddle ... Copied to Clipboard!

The gay community bits were a lot funnier. But I think the reality is that there's an unspoken hierarchy of groups that you can make jokes about. I don't think any comedians can make ANY trans jokes right now without coming under fire. I don't think any of his jokes actually caused harm to the trans community. I think most people can tell he doesn't actually hate trans people. He may even actually bring some awareness to the movement. His bit about the trans person having a real human experience was a positive perspective on the community tbh ... Copied to Clipboard!
