No, I’M bitching. I’ve seen quotes from the special. They are hack, anti-trans jokes (I’ve also watched his past specials). If you have no intention of watching it, why the fuck are you here?

Neither do they. If they did, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Can you list these “amazing” accommodations?
Ahh...but on the contrary, it is subject to criticism from people who haven’t seen it! As you should know, this is America, meaning there is nothing preventing me from opining on something I haven’t fully experienced (for the record, I’m not going to watch a special with a HALF FUCKING HOUR shitting on trans…
my wife is an actual female (i’ve checked the genitals, although not the birth certificate, chromosome, or hormones, but she has had two children ripped from her body, so i think she’s on safe ground), and she doesn’t want to exclude trans women from women’s spaces.
I’ll bite, for now. As for context and the narrative that is out there, here is a trans writer who actually watched the special, and describes at as essentially hack transphobia. What about this is inaccurate? Link: https://www.readthepresentage.com/p/dave-chappelle-transgender.
I’m sorry, what? If that’s not what you meant, what was the point of saying boycotting Netflix is not criticism? Also, what do you care if boycotts are generally effective or not?
He apparently has a HALF HOUR on trans people! A group that probably makes up less than 1% of the total population, and whose only real ask is that you not care so much what genitalia and/or chromosomes they currently have and were born with, which is something you were already doing anyway! It takes almost zero…
Threatening to boycott Netflix is not criticism.
I’m not sure what to tell you. At first you were questioning whether it was even a crime, and it is. Now you’re really questioning whether it’s something that would really get you in trouble? If you would be comfortable walking into a fucking BANK, lying on your loan application by saying you are buying an asset that…
Plenty of talented comedians also do not have Netflix specials (also, don’t sell yourself short! I’m confident you could spend a half hour ignorantly ranting against trans people). As to telling people how to do their jobs, that is literally the point of criticism.
The person you’re talking to is trans, so probably has a pretty good idea of what is and is not “a disservice to those impacted by transphobia.”
Criticism is what’s being done. Not sure who exactly you are talking to if not Chapelle’s critics. Also not sure what it means to “walk away” in this context. (Also, not sure what the distinction is between criticism, which you now claim to be fine with, and “PUBLIC OUTRAGE,” which you are admonishing all of us to…
Do you have Dave Chapelle’s number? Does he talk to you? I’m happy to have a conversation with Dave Chapelle, but last I checked, he’s a little inaccessible, and in any event, he got a platform where he got to talk uninterrupted for an hour plus, so I’m not sure why it’s wrong for people to criticize him without first…
Do you have a Netflix special?
Maybe it’s not about self-importance? Maybe it’s about a group of people who are routinely marginalized and demonized (all too often by their own allies), even though all they want to do is just live. Seriously, all trans people are asking for is to be left alone, to live their own lives as they would. The burden…
He wants trans people to recognize their proper place in society, which is as delusional freaks who don’t understand basic biology, and so who should stand idly by as people like Dave Chapelle mock their entire identity. I mean, seriously, Chapelle got some mild pushback on some anti-trans jokes a few specials ago,…
Does he proudly proclaim to be a TERF? Does he whine about how Caitlyn Jenner had an easier time changing her name than Muhammed Ali had changing his name FOUR DECADES AGO? Does he come to the defense of J.K. Rowling, who has used her platform to spread vicious, harmful lies about trans women? Does he go on an…
Did Cats suck? Did you watch it? Did Gigli suck? Did you watch it? You don’t have to watch every minute of everything to form an opinion on it. I’ve watched some of Dave Chappelle’s past specials, and have not liked his bits about trans people. There is no way I’m watching a special of his where he devotes a fucking…
He proudly proclaims himself to be a trans exclusionary radical feminist, correct? I mean, besides it being difficult to imagine how that’s not anti-trans, plenty of people have watched the special and commented on it (https://www.readthepresentage.com/p/dave-chappelle-transgender). I’m not particularly inclined to…
