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. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 ... Copied to Clipboard!

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. --- I request affiliated many pipes. Been a bad girl, I know I am.

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. --- This isn't funny Dean, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes! ~Alexandra ... Copied to Clipboard!

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. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Whose alt 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. masterplum posted...
