I mean, I can't really boycott something I'm not buying / subscribing to in the first place.

I used to be a fan of his, but during the special previous to the latest one, I felt like the man wasn't funny anymore, or at least, his special wasn't funny to me.

so I haven't checked out the latest one yet.

This boycott has just had the Streisand effect on his special. Probably a marketing strategy

Calling that special transphobic misses every point Chappelle was making.

Under his pretext, yes.

Dave once said:

"You have a responsibility to speak recklessly, otherwise my kids might not know what reckless talk sounds like. The joys of being wrong. I didnt come here to be right, I just came here to fuck around.

So number 1 they're jokes, and two, the comedy stage is the last space where prevailing standards of correctness don't apply. Trying to tear that down just generates more support for edgy comedy and opposition to trans causes.

I don't use netflix but if I did I wouldn't boycott over this.

That said, David Chapelle seems like a moron and I'm not interested in his comedy

What did he do that makes you think he's a moron?

He's pretty intelligent, has great observational skills, and is a fantastic story teller.

I don't mean that he's not intelligent. I think he's got wit even though I've never found him funny myself. My problem with him is for example that he aligns himself with people like kevin hart, and then claims that if you criticize kevin hart, you're punching down on the black community. Ridiculous

So long as you agree transphobia is wrong. I think were all mature enough to know, however, that transphobics also use his jokes to support their cause.

Do you think Dave bears any responsibility or guilt for what other people do to trans people? Because I don't. People are personally responsibility for their own actions, and Dave at worst is responsible for hurting some peoples feelings. People who are sensitive shouldn't watch standup in the first place.

There are far worse things that happen to trans people than jokes.

His joke is that Dababy got cancelled for transphobia but not killing a man because society cares more about lgbtq people than black people.
