Oh well. He can do what he wants. You don't have to watch Dave Chappelle.

Eh, eventually he might come up with something fresh and ok

Hell yeah good on him for not crumbling under the pressure of a vocal minority.

Nice. I love Dave Chappelle

so you like transphobes

Shit like this is why it's always morally okay to pirate shit from Netflix.

I think it was funny that the dude praised Glass Onion, and also called Elon a genius in the same meeting

Dave Chappelle is a draw.

Not surprising.

You know here's the thing: don't like it? Don't watch it.

Obviously enough people watched the last special that Netflix were impressed and decided to order another one. Probably due in no small part due to you people complaining about it and drawing attention to it, making people want to see it. Making jokes about trans people does not mean you're being transphobic.

Vote with your wallet and cancel netflix.

Making transphobic statements under the guise of jokes, and otherwise defending those statements IS transphobia though. Dave is a transphobe and so are the people insisting he hasn't said anything wrong.

Chapelle is easy money. The "anti-woke" crowd will watch him regardless now

Why is he considered a transphobe when he makes fun of all types of people?

Doesn't help, Netflix internal stats already rate the Chappelle specials as a net loss and yet they're still making them. Sunk cost fallacy is law.

Only far leftists are mad about him simply making trans jokes. But he outright said he's a TERF with no punchline. There isn't much room for interpretation.

Hell yeah, can't wait to watch it. His specials lately have been stellar.

So do you believe he's a radical feminist?

Making anti trans jokes, helps foster the social environment that leads to trans people being murdered

Maybe Chappelle can help you how to write a better fancition than the boring stuff you "write".

see thats the thing it dont matter as dave still helps promote bigotry which hurts others

his jokes do have a impact using comedy to dehumanize ppl is a old tactic of bigots

it makes ppl see other groups as lesser and that makes them think its ok for discrimination against them

I am confused. So we're in agreement he's a transphobe, but if you don't approve of his transphobia you are automatically a far leftist? You don't think there's some more room for people who don't approve of transphobia beyond far left?

So as the self-proclaimed comedy police, who can you make jokes about?

You can make jokes about any minority. But if your 'joke' is just bigotry then you might just be a bigot.

That's a bullshit lie that Dave made and has been thoroughly debunked. But sure, buy into the bullshit lie that blames trans people for the suicide of a trans person and not, you know, transphobes.

Dave Chappelle does not exist to not trigger you. If you don't like it don't watch it, peace out?

Get over yourself.

Most people can take a joke and those who can't I feel sorry for. If a comedian like Bill jokes about whites and blacks you think the whole world should stop?

if kanye west had said "oh lulz just joking" with his recent bigoted crap would that magically make it ok

no no it would not

because calling something that harms ppl a "joke" dont make it ok it just normalizes the bigotry

Nice. His SNL episode was hilarious.

As things take a downtown in the economy, more companies will start ignoring the loud vocal minorities unfortunately.

So Dave left his show years and years ago because he thought that he and black people as a whole were being seen as the actual butt of the jokes, but now makes trans people the butt of his current "jokes". Seems very hypocritical.

People saying "they're just jokes" are similar to people defending other offensive humor made towards some sort of minority in the past. "What? It's just humor. Stop being so sensitive."

I'm saying complaining about jokes is the general domain of a radical. In this context it'd be far left, in other contexts it'd be far right.

He's a transphobe because of his beliefs and who he supports, not because of jokes.

Name me one person Dave killed while telling jokes?
If apparent that the LBGT community don't want to be included in the "Lets laugh at ourselves" community.
The simple fact that you have white nationalist saying horrible things about your group and shooting up clubs and yet you all do nothing tells me everything about you.

what the fuck are you even talking about with this we are fighting against that

and that includes dave himself (who by the way is against white ppl making jokes about black ppl)

Then you should be able to accept other people making jokes about you as well. I'm not familiar with the type of humour that Chappele goes for but if he's like other comedians like Ricky Gevais, Jimmy Carr, etc - nothing is off limits. Everyone is equally the butt of the joke.

If you don't like his material, that's fine. No-one is forcing you to watch it. But there's obviously an audience for it out there as Netflix obviously looked at the numbers he was bringing in.

Yup, and nobody had a problem with that for 20 years.

He said he'd stop talking about it, so hopefully his next special isn't just another rant on trans people.

he is not laughing with us he is laughing at us

and he mocks the LGBT community out side of his comedy routine

he openly supports JK rowlings bigotry

BUT he got pissed when white ppl made jokes about black ppl and canceled a entire show over it

meaning its ok for him to mock a community he is not part of

but others cant use HIS JOKES to talk about black ppl

no you just did not hear about how ppl felt do to the lack of social media

comedians use to make racist jokes about black ppl even dressed up in black face for them

guess what if you interviewed ppl back then they would see no issue with that either

Hmm, must have been a very small amount of people. Hell, a good chunk of the people hating on him now mention they were big fans of him. Weird they were okay with everyone else being the butt of the joke.

let me make this simple for you

if a white guy makes jokes comparing black ppl to monkeys is that ok in your book
