Quite a number of posters defended Dave unsurprisingly.

They have the option to get over it or get over it.

They should either get thicker skin or not be offended by every little fucking thing.

They probably have one of those unlimited time off scams going. So a bunch of employees will
take a day off, and Netflix will get some bad press I suppose.

I wonder if there was a stipulation in his contract that said that they have to release the specials he produces. I really think he was trying to give them the finger on his way out the door.

I have no issue with trans people, I have an issue with anybody who is a bully who demands the world bend to thier will

As far as I am concerned, those people can walk out the door and never come back to work. All staff including trans people are going to be so much happier when they don't have to stress about all the negative energy these bullies bring.

So they were fine with his jokes on every other conceivable group, but when he jokes about them, it's unacceptable and time to split?

That reeks of hypocrisy.

I encourage all [members of] Trans* and allies not to work for Netflix that day. ... As weve discussed through Slack, email, texts and everything in between, our leadership has shown us that they do not uphold the values for which we are held, a Netflix employee posted Monday in a public, company Slack channel comprising more than 800 staffers representing gender minorities of all sorts and their allies, in a message reviewed by The Times.

So, the call went out in a Slack channel of 800 people. That consisted of all sorts of gender minorities and their allies. So, not a terribly large number of people. This stunt will depend on how many allies they have that care enough to protest.

And to be clear "ally" in this context refers to allies of the angry mob, and not allies of trans/minorities.

Dave is an ally of trans/minorities, but an enemy of angry mobs, his final story perfectly highlights the difference.

Of all the things to get up in arms about, focusing on this special is so weird. I can understand being offended on a personal level, but there was hardly anything that goes past the point of being crude at worst.

He's been making fun of different races, and gay people for years. So don't fuck the racists and homophobes? Just the transphobes? Man some people think they're center of the universe.

I remember the Michael Jackson pedo jokes being a little raw to swallow and laugh at because he'd be so explicit you'd think he made up his mind what he believed, however he also would acknowledge that he couldn't possibly know or assume the truth either so it was reasonable to get over that.

That's just Dave being Dave. Either take it, or leave it and move on.
