I did watch (or technically listen to) the special and gave him the benefit of the doubt on being extremely ignorant over purposely hurtful. Everything he's said since indicates that even if that were actually true (and I no longer believe that) at the very least he doesn't give a shit about how he affects anyone besides himself. So fuck him.

But calling people out for lack of empathy when they're clearly hurting is just ridiculous regardless of your opinion on the man. Even if you disagree with why they're hurting. It's not just grotesque, it's moronic.

I think puns is wrong but raging at him is scientifically the best way to ensure he doubles down and never changes his opinion.

I was at one point fairly anti Trans before having a long conversation with someone who changed genders and I thought it was enlightening.

You never are going to be able to force someone to change their mind, you have to let them be willing.
ok how about YOU talk to him for a change, we're tired

holy fucking shit you have to absolutely be fucking kidding me with this absolute peak irony of a trash take

you've been told very fucking detailed explanations about this shit, personal god damn fucking experiences explaining the damage caused, and WE'RE the ones lacking empathy of the god damn clueless millionaire stomping into shit he doesn't understand

I've put in so much god damn work trying to hold your hand through this dialogue that you're evidently way too lazy to actually bother listening to over your selfish need to worship an old washed-up celebrity who doesn't give a single shit about the words he's using to the point he's straight-up just marketing off of his ignorance now.

LISTEN TO THE THE FUCKING VOICES OF PEOPLE UNDER FIRE. DO *NOT* TALK SHIT ABOUT EMPATHY OF ALL THINGS WITHOUT PUTTING THE BARE FUCKING MINIMUM INTO THE CONVERSATION. Do you not realize how god damn maddening it is to be repeatedly told I'm the one missing context here? There's nobody more god damn conscious of this dialogue going on, and I've listened to *plenty* of in-depth coverage from voices both cis and trans, black and white on these issues not to mention my own god damn experiences I've simply wasted in thinking you were a good faith actor.

At this point it god damn pisses me off to see such absolute wilful ignorance as yours waving away any criticism as just not getting it and now to this utterly ridiculous one-sided notion that we're the ones lacking empathy for being pissed off at straight-up anti-trans talking points belted out under the veil of "jokes". Trans voices are carefully crafting their nuanced criticisms while constantly giving the utmost leeway, accepting the fact that many people are just plain ignorant, and knowing we have to treat people with baby gloves to get it. To just fucking piss over the eggshells we gotta tiptoe around - with trans voices STILL getting the most vile hatred thrown at them by stans who don't bother to listen - is when I give up and tell you to go absolutely fuck yourself. Spend a god damn fucking hour in the realm of trans discourse and look at the shit we have to put up before you dare show off the absolute gall to complain we're the ones who don't get it.

Never again track your muddy-ass boots into a conversation over bigotry if you can't actually address the plentiful voices for well-examined and nuanced concern going on unless you wanna keep showing your ass over and over again.

I'm totally accepting of the idea yelling at someone instead of carefully explaining the issues can lead to radicalization instead of understanding.

But I personally already tried treating him with good faith and turbopuns has absolutely betrayed that by handwaving it all away as a "lack of empathy" and "being white". Without addressing any of the actual bloody criticism. Go read turbopuns again, for someone who "wrote with pen and paper for forty minutes venting" he doesn't mention a single piece of any of the criticism. He says he's seen "reaction videos" and the only commentary he provides is not any of the points he's come across, but just some weak observation that the people he watched were white, when you very well COULD try listening to some black voices on the subject if you actually wanted to.

If you're not going to address a single piece of criticism (ie the dumb alt just now thinking an empty one-liner negates all criticism) then there's no saving you. If you not only don't address any criticism while also being an inflammatory jackass then people are going to bite back.

My take on the Chappelle special, which I've since watched from start to finish, is that the majority of people offended by it lack a sufficient amount of empathy for Dave Chappelle as a person (as a comedian, as a black man, as someone who's experienced a person they know taking their own life) to even see his perspective when he's talking.

Dave Chapelle lacks empathy for the people who he's harmed. Specifically, the trans community. He isn't willing to listen. So he doesn't get or deserve empathy on this. I really don't care what he's faced.

Yeah, Plum's right.

The thing is it's not worth trying to change puns's mind because we already tried that and he's just sorta spit in our faces. The first time I thought it was just him being blinded by celebrity worship, but at this point it seems like his argument is coming from his own bigotry.

Yeah, my point is not "being understanding and supportive will change puns mind" There is no guarantee that will happen and hell, it's not your obligation to change his mind even if it would absolutely work.

My point is that yelling about how much of a bigot he is is at best a gigantic waste of time and energy you could be spending doing absolutely anything else, and at worst actually makes him more of a bigot.

And another prime example of weak minds with nothing to offer beyond "cancel culture" crying, when the viewpoints I shared all have incredibly nuanced takes on what is "offensive", ie Kat Blaque's video you'll be surprised she's plenty capable of laughing during specific bits, some while being offensive, but she can still acknowledge everything wrong, and Jessie endlessly putting her heart on her sleeve that she understands where Dave is coming from and believes they could have a productive 1-on-1. Y'know, that "empathy" thing that turbopuns pretends is lacking.

It really pisses me off how these nuanced discussions are always just waved away as cancel culture despite all the good faith understanding offered. It's not easy to always give all that leeway to bigotry that harms us just to repeatedly get ignored for waves of dumb reactionary trolls who couldn't be assed to take any of it seriously.

And then people wonder why the hell we're mad.

"why do you yell at people who adamantly promote bigotry against you"

Tired of limp-dicked liberals putting the onus on minorities to stay calm in the face of bigotry when it's our lives at stake. Ignorance is allowed as an excuse for these people to say whatever the fuck inflammatory garbage they want but if we bite back we're the problem.

This is something that needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, although honestly after years of this BS I think most of us have become adept at picking out the people with an open mind vs. the people who are pricks hiding under a veneer of civility. The idea that turbopun could be anything but the latter after that recent post he made is veeeeeeeeeeeeery low.

They do this with anyone and everyone. It's just that Trump had the amazing combination of being so bombastic and having a VERY devoted following who followed his every word so it seemed especially pronounced back then.
