When even one of the offended tweeters says they had to “hear ~12,000 people laugh at a transphobic joke”, it makes you think that the vast majority of the audience had no problem with Chappelle’s material. That’s the real story here, not that a handful of people didn’t like the show.

Thank you. Can we stop giving tweeters - on both sides of the political spectrum - disproportionate levels of importance? 

Transgenderism is just inherently funny to a lot of people, and will never not be, because it leads to all kinds of absurd situations which we’re supposed to pretend we don’t notice.

1) You call people transphobic and are sarcastic when they react? You’re a goddamn troll.

1) Nowhere did I defend Chappelle’s transphobia and you fucking know that you goddamned prick.

Chapelle lives in the area... So while it may not be expected... he probably was just around.  

So Brave!!

Doesn't Chappel live in Ohio? I thought he lived in some town their where he argued against some planned low income housing for some reason.

Dave Chappelle lives in Ohio. 

Every comment section I’m in becomes more about me than the article. You all sure do know how to make a troll proud!

(I’m also the one pulling ‘trolls’ out of the greys.  Hahahaha fuck you!)

So standard issue ‘my wife’s a bitch’ but jokes about trans people aren’t?

Comedians regularly invite other comedians to make surprise appearances at shows. I’ve been to a lot of shows in small venues in NY where famous comedians often try out their material, and I can’t count the number of times a big name has popped in to open or do a short surprise set that no one was expecting. Sometimes…

Three people virtue signaling on Twitter does not create a consensus of opinion.  Nobody outside progressive social media cares that Chappelle told a joke or two.  Stop trying to make this non-story a story.  

Any chance you’re going to grow a spine and stop being pathetically passive-aggressive and at least confront the “hateful loser” I don’t know about you but nothing spells spineless shitless coward than saying something about someone while trying to avoid that said person, at least Chappelle has the balls to do so, you…

Shut the fuck up trannies and get over it. 99% of the population doesn’t care about your feelings over jokes. They’re just words. Be happy you live in a country that allows you this much of a voice. Also stop going to comedy shows you fucking snowflakes. Chappelle is the GOAT. Deal with it

I’m defending the comedian’s right to use whatever material they see fit so long as it’s not trying to incite hate or violence. I’m not saying his shit is funny. I don’t like John Mulaney and I don’t think Chappelle has been funny since he walked off his own show but I’m not going to go on Twitter or write a whole…

Man, Mulaney punches at fucking everyone.

Sure, if there’s one thing Tim Heidecker’s known for, it’s constantly worrying about people liking what he says or does.

and they’d be right.
