And it just happened to come from a game published by Amazon.

If he had access to humanity he would have never been CEO in the first place.

I’ve gone back and forth over how I feel about Chappelle and did muse about Gadsby’s special and how it also upset many people and made them uncomfortable. And if Netflix should pull Chappelle’s stuff (and Sam Kinison while they’re at it).

And no business at all in food or drug safety. If I want to sell pills that are just powdered glass how dare the FDA gets in my way!

The gag is, this is moral cowardice disguised as the last brave stand. DC is a multimillionaire living in a society with people who mostly agree with him. There is nothing risky about showcasing transphobia in a transphobic society. This is not honesty. It is just cruelty. Trans people should not have to be subjected

Additionally, Sarandos’ insistence that seeing violence, assault, and abuse on television doesn’t translate to “real-world harm” directly contradicts past practices of Netflix. In March 2017, the series 13 Reasons Why premiered on Netflix, based on the YA series of the same name.

Pretty sure it’s not the role of a cis-guy to decide that trans people aren’t being harmed when they are telling him that they are.

Replace terf with nazi or proud boy and there ya go. You must be team bigot as well.

I hate this defense.

Is it because he claimed to be team TERF? How is that harmful to you or anyone else?

An excuse to express your real homophobic feelings.

Richard Pryor, Sam Kinnison, and George Carlin all were immensely funny and popular. They also broke the “PC” barriers on a nightly basis. Without being offensive to any specific race, religion, or sexual orientation.

It’s been plain as day to me that he’s being willfully obtuse because he knows that there are Muslims who are Black (given that he claims that intersection as part of his life). He wouldn’t DARE say

“I feel like Dave freed the slaves. The comedians, we were slaves to PC [politically correct] culture...

Chapelle seems to be playing the Jerry Seinfeld card. Jerry said he couldn’t do college shows a few years back. What Jerry failed to realize, is those college kids’ parents found him funny. Of course he wasn’t going to do college shows, ever. He plays charity and award shows for millionaires (at least). Chapelle is

‘You’re no longer free in this country. You’re not free to say what you want, you say what we want you to say. Otherwise we will cancel you.’ That’s the discussion we should have.

The wild thing is that another cis dude felt as though his perspective mattered more than, say, any trans people. Like, my dude, you wouldn’t accept a white guy telling you whether something was racist when a lot of Black folks were saying it was, why on Earth can’t you figure that same thing out when it’s about

Look, you can’t say deliberately offensive things for shock humor, and simultaneously be offended that others are offended by you...

People who conflate funny with edgy/offensive are exhausting.

“Hey, Fyre Festival? It’s your cousin, Coachella. You know those horrible decisions you made? Well listen to THIS
