That would certainly appear to make your day.

It’s a good line. It’s not true, but it’s a good line.

This is exactly it. It’s disingenuous bad-faith judgments premade before airing.

100%. He’s a gleeful comedian. When the corners of his mouth tickle in preparation of a great line, the audience’s do too. It’s magic.

Strong words!

No, he’s right. It was funny.

Bullying someone into suicide can legitimately be called “mean.”

A minority friend who, crucially, took her own life due to the hatred she experienced from her own minority community.

Goats know they’re goats.

It would be if that were true. Happily, it’s not.

In a just world, this would have all the likes.

Agreed. Luckily, this is the latter.

I was prepared to disagree with this but it won me over. “completely alive and vital horse” is great. Suffice to say: watch it. There’s a lot more material than the trans stuff. And there are a lot of laughs. This is not the Weezer effect.

You’ve got a point. What I would say is that the same intellectual dishonesty and bad-faith disingenuousness that’s lambasting Chappelle right now would call this statement racist (“what are you implying, that Rivers is better than Murphy because she’s white and he’s black?”). What many of us are tired of seeing is…

Because trans people exist in the category of “anything under the sun” that is available for comedians to joke about.

Unapologetically advocating censorship.

This is the type of calm, considered, measured response that’s going to be received with a tidal wave of bitter namecalling and white-hot hatred. But I appreciated it.

Didn’t read it, eh?

A calm critique vs frothing at the mouth is a difference of standard, yes.

“I didn’t even know what that was, but I know that trans people make up words to win arguments.”
