I think he’s got some deep seated insecurity. I remember him on Oprah relating how the producers of some movie wanted him to wear a dress for a bit and he vociferously refused. He believes Hollywood intentionally wants to emasculate black men, which, I don’t know, may be true to some degree, but I think transgender…

It didn’t get canceled, really, it got moved. From the sound of it the owner/operator didn’t actually believe most of the staff was not going to show up, even though they had already told him this days before. He called their bluff and lost and didn’t have enough staff to run the theater. 

The media seems to be overlooking a crucial point when it comes to this story:

So, just to be clear, in your mind mildly inconveniencing a millionaire is an unforgivable act of evil cancel culture, but firing dozens of working class people for having the wrong opinion is just fine? We got that right?

If you think you can run a show safely without staff, you know nothing about running a show.

Oh that is not the right take.
For years, he kept telling everyone that they were just jokes and he can joke about whatever he wants and he doesn’t have to care.
But when Netflix didn’t take up his documentary, he flipped like a total hypocrite and started saying “But I do care! That’s why I make the jokes!”
His heart is…

I don’t think you’re heart is in the right place if you’re anti-PC thinking isn’t I hear your concerns about these marginalized groups but we can work on the language but instead, y’all are just lunatics.

Hate speech has been demonstrated to have harmful effects. There are anti-trans bills in dozens of states, with driven by the attitudes that Chappelle promotes. Transphobic speech is the fuel to the fire of trans-hate crimes, which hit record levels last year.

There’s a health risk to trying to run a sold out show with no staff.

Hey, moron! Dave Chappelle is hardly the only person in the country or world who shits on transgender people on a regular goddamn basis. Do you care, or are you just this addicted to being a stupid asshole on the internet? Allow me to break it down for you so you can really try to understand.

Jesus, he’s now doing a “gay disease” bit? Old Dave keeps getting worse. The man is truly punching down behind a wall of blind fans while playing victim.

Man he is really just double and tripling down on this shit, huh? What a loser. Man i used to respect the hell out of him. What a difference millions of money and 2 decades makes.

The bits make him a lot of money and get him a lot of press.

What is Chapelle’s obsession with transgenders?

I feel like we’re only a few months away from Dave getting up on stage and ranting about “transgender space lasers.”

That would give him like five years of “material.”

Dave Chappelle is a whiny bigot.

Oh yeah! I remember those too! Was beginning to think this was a Mandela Effect thing!

Oh, man, there was a really good trilogy of movies in the early 2000s that featured a big (unwieldy, really; they had to split them up for the second two movies) party with halfings, a dwarf, some elves, and humans, and a bunch of different classes. They played kind of fast and loose with how their wizards functioned,…
