Having watched the special, it is clear who has and hasn’t watched it.

I took it more like one oppressed group shouldn’t be punching down on another oppressed group. He had made a point that when a white LGBTQ person was upset about something a Black person said, their Whiteness took precedence over their LGBTQ-ness.

The people who are dragging Chappelle did not watch his show, there is nothing anti-trans. As a woman who has a uterus and have had my period for decades I agree with what he says. However, calling people TERFS is absurd.

You go Dave! Say what you think and fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke. Not everyone toes the liberal line regarding bi-trans-cis whatever and it’s sad that the circular firing squad of the progressive left can’t see that they’re censoring what they don’t like, just like the right. You don’t like what he says, don’t…

Having now actually watched Dave’s latest special, I don’t see what all the uproar is about. It’s not mean-spirited, cruel, or hateful in any way. 

You have a strange definition of the word “ignored”.

Dave probably doesn’t really care. And since he’s not on the socials probably has little idea what the wokesters are saying. He’s probably chilling and off to work on material for his next special, which you’ll no doubt review.

It’s amazing how much free time some people have. I can barely catch up with all the shows I want to watch, and yet so many people find the time to watch something they know they’ll be offended by.

I’ve been developing this theory in my head about this subject, well not really “my” theory but just what I’ve noticed... “Cancel culture” or “cancelling” someone famous is only so effective in relation to how talented they are... If the person is good enough, or talented enough, than it will probably never really…

For example, trans women in our group find cis-periods gross...

What the fuck? Good Lord I hope none of you are parents with a child who will menstruate.

It’s reflexive defensiveness, fairly obviously.

Honestly I don’t see Chappelle talking like a normal “cancel culture is the real problem” comedian. You can’t cancel him because he doesn’t care. Dave is rich as fuck and if he never does another Netflix special he will still be rich. He still has his “Fuck You” farm. He’s good. He’s like the Lauryn Hill of comedy. 

he’s not complaining, he’s making fun of it because you people took it too far and are now no better than the puritans of the 80s telling everybody they have to put parental advisory stickers on rap albums.

Nobody outside of your shrinking online echo chambers gives half a shit about what you’re complaining about today.

Sounds like a good watch. This article has given me no choice but to watch it.

That seems a tad harsh and rather unrealistic. I like Chappelle and find most of his jokes humorous. I also have trans friends who I hope the very best for and just want them feel as welcome and deserving in this world as a straight white male can. This idea that just because I can laugh at the how silly a blind black…

Yeeeeeah.... people are still laughing at Dave Chappelle, so this doesn’t really apply.

That’s true, I don’t think that applies here though because there are plenty of people out there that still think Chappelle is funny.

Being ‘cancelled’ and ‘cancel culture’ are just euphemisms for ‘being held accountable for something stupid I have said or done’.

The dilemma Dave is discussing, which seems to not be acknowledged in your piece, is that Cosby made Dave (and other black men and women) feel proud of themselves, in a way that the rest of American culture doesn’t. He made people feel like they were better than what they were told they were, that they had value and…
