Yeah heard about this this morning. Apparently Chappelle made a transphobic AND a homophobic joke, but I only have the info I picked up to take the word of.

EDIT: Ah the article covers that.

Not a good look to give a transphobic person a platform to spew their bigotry. And yes, fellow Chappelle fans, at this point it's mask off bigotry. I didn't want to accept it, but Chappelle just can't help himself it seems.

FTFY

I mean these were people that were attending and had no idea he would even be there. They have a right to complain when they probably didn't want to see him in the first place

Chappelle has been reduced to an opening act? His transphobia has really done a number on his career!

a very large number, preceded by a dollar sign

This was the joke fyi:
"He made a joke about when he was attacked, how the guy had a knife that looks like a gun. Or the other way around. He then said that maybe it was a knife that identified as a gun. It reminded me of the I [sexually] identify as an attack helicopter joke that transphobes make, Morgan told BuzzFeed News.

He also dragged some twins up there and made weird jokes about them being gay with each other. They aren't even jokes at this point. It's basically stuff you would see on a bad Fox News show bit

No, people are upset that they paid for John Mulaney tickets and were subjected to an unbilled comedian making jokes that alienated them in a crowd of 12,000 mostly cis people in the most transphobic state in the country. Its sad that you actually do have a brain from what Ive seen from some of your posts and you still choose to express your ridicule and dismissal of trans people in every topic where you can come up with a way to be insulting to us without getting yourself modded. You can sneer to yourself about it all you want, but if thats all you really get out of it on a personal level, I feel sympathy for you.

I'm trying to get something here, understanding. Equality is everyone being treated the same, Chappelle joking about trans folks is a symptom of equality as he jokes about everyone. The backlash creates a forbidden fruit, something no offensive comedian can resist. It could be a good jumping off point for conversation, or a witch hunt. I say the conversation has far more benefits than the witch hunt is all. Just read the language used in the article, questioning why he "was allowed" to perform. Like he needs the permission of some higher power to show his face with another comedian. Sounds crazy. Maybe John and Dave are friends? Maybe they like each other's comedy? This is just getting really weird...

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


It's bad, but yeah I agree. That's probably why Chappelle was there. It's his home state. Not dismissing any of the transphobic bullshit he's done, but without looking into it further, I would be willing to consider the possibility that the other comedian (I've seen his name before but I'm not familiar with him) could have booked Chappelle as a "home crowd" opener.

This is so soft.

They paid money that they had paid taxes on specifically trying to NOT see Dave Chappelle, and they didnt like his jokes. Like bringing two boys up and being like, Look at these queers! is that funny? You think thats even a passable joke for a comedy legend?

Why wont any of the anti trans posters just acknowledge the fact that were scared that if everyone keeps punching down hard enough while we are still in our beam sea, we might actually get eradicated? Like Dave will make a joke like look at them, heres whats different about them! Isnt that funny? and well just be like, Ok were kinda uncomfortable with that cuz it doesnt really seem like a joke and everyone else is like, Look! Dave was right, they are different, AND they think they deserve a faster track to full civil protections? Theyre soft

At that point it doesnt really matter what we say, cuz the discussion always becomes others asking us why, if we cant convince THEM that we should just be allowed to exist with the same rights as cis gendered people have, then why should we be allowed to do sports or whatever it is that week, theres too many trans people, theyre doing trans too young these days, trans people dont laugh at Dave Chappelle jokes, what if they change their mind.

Its the trans punch down dart board.

Real shitty of Mulaney, he always seemed like hed have more self-awareness than this

to people commenting about Chappelle openingit is common practice in the comedy world for comedians to do short drop-in sets if theyre at a show. Probably doesnt happen all that often in places like Ohio I imagine

I miss when Chappelle told jokes that were actually funny and also insightful social commentary. He left the public eye and went to Africa when white folks were just using his show to say racial slurs, ignoring the meaning behind the jokes.

Old Dave would be so ashamed of Current Dave.

It's pretty obvious the more that people get mad at him, the more he's gonna keep talking about it. I'm not sure what people are expecting. He was just attacked for his trans jokes.

He's gonna joke about it even more now. And it's gonna do nothing but get him free publicity and more money and others are gonna want to get in on it like Mulaney. Many comedians also thrive on being controversial.

There is no endgame here. He's gonna continue selling out shows and making specials and people are gonna continue enjoying him. Labeling his fans transphobes and right-wingers is likely gonna backfire badly.

Eventually people will just start ignoring all the people complaining, which might potentially spread to other things.

This is just abuser logic. You made me do it!

Chappelle can keep on making his $$$, hes clearly a deeply unsatisfied person whos lost any grip he ever had on his soul.
