That just means everyone else would be banned arbitrarily without due diligence. That’s even worse than some people having blanket immunity.

Yeah and using someone else’s pain for your own benefit is the height of cruelty and it’s pretty telling that you can’t see that.

“Don’t judge me for lashing out and attacking other people! I’m hurting, and my victims should be sympathetic toward my pain while I profit off of theirs!”

I can’t see how your “defense” would not also be applicable for the racism of Michael Richards, as an example. Being “broken” is not carte blanche for saying hateful shit.

The ‘F’ in TERF is fake. They’re not feminists, they’re sex essentialists that boil women down to genitals and ability to give birth, and they align with neo-Nazis and the far right in general. They’re happy to let ‘genital inspectors’ molest young girls to ‘make sure’. They’re happy to throw gender non-conforming…

I hate this defense.

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

No, thats not how funny people are forged.

That was definitely not stand-up at it’s highest level, even totally ignoring this. The fact that you think it was means you’re out of your fucking tree. Anyone who thinks this mediocre whinge-comedy is “peak stand-up” is some kind of moron, frankly. This is nowhere near peak Chapelle, let alone peak standup. That’s…

How exactly is the existence, humanity and dignity of transgender women Dave’s tragedy to laugh at? 

Except some of the topics don’t fall into the category of “I disagree because that’s my opinion”.  Trans people ARE people.  Trans people deserve protection from those that would do them harm.  Trans people deserve the rights afforded to them.  To stand against this is to stand against basic human rights.  That’s not…

Yeah I’m gonna go on stage and say “I’m Team Racist” and it won’t be harmful. lmao

The crazy thing is that he's not EVEN team TERF cuz the F is for Feminist and dude has repeatedly shamed women comics for quitting comedy over Louis CK's dick. He is not at all a fucking F.

I absolutely love the fact that comedians can say whatever offensive shit they want now, as long as they follow up with “And if this offended you, it’s actually you who is the problem” and people will defend them for that.

“Finding catharsis through mockery and abuse of the vulnerable” is generally called bullying, and using the language of victimhood to defend it is certainly a choice.

It’s mindblowing that a guy who quit his show because he felt the audience was laughing with the racism and not at it has now thrown in his lot exclusively with the people that drove him to quit in the first place.

That he quit as one of the most celebrated comics of his era, and returned to comedy as generic boomer…

It’s not just Chappelle. I’ve accepted that he’s a lost cause. I’m also thinking about anti-vaxxers like Kyrie Irving and Nikki Minaj. It not like I’ve had a lot of feelings towards these celebrities but it’s just so sad to see how even with all their money and access we still get this kind of clownery.

Damon Waynans can take his all his money and privilege and go fuck himself right along with Dave. It kills me how some Black folks get some material wealth then start acting just like bigoted rich White people.

Why on earth do you admire Damon Wayans? He has went out of his way to show you that he is utterly horrible as a human being. He defended Bill Cosby, trashed his victims, his horrible treatment years ago of Doris Roberts on the emmy’s. He’s a dirt bag

I hate learning how stupid so many celebrities are.
