There’s little chance you are unaware of how ridiculous an interpretation of what I wrote your statement is. He doesn’t get to say what he wants because he’s a comedian, he gets to say it because he is a free person. Leveraging the threat of masses of people messing with his livelihood is a collective effort to…

Well, its using the threat of mass coordinated attempts to deplatform him to try to quiet down things they don’t want to hear. What is that then? If someone came to you and threatened you because they don’t like something you say - that’s ok? A threat against someone’s livelihood is still a threat. Just... try to be…

It will be interesting to see how the business metrics on this are.

OMG all three trans subscribers dropped their Netflix subscriptions (not really since they use their parents logins)!

I rejoined Netflix to watch Chappelle before its taken down, so maybe it is helping.

It’s honestly difficult to weigh in. Yes, Dave said some stuff that could be seen as insensitive or insulting - but at the same time, he is a comedian - the last bastions of free speech. If he can’t say contentious things that offend people, who can? If nobody ever pushes limits, goes off-script, then we’re not far…

The Closer is fantastic and I loved that Chapelle “Went There” and shared with the audience that that trans community bullied one of his trans friends to the point of suicide. I went into this thinking it was all anti trans (due to media dressing it up wrong), but I came away from it with a very opposite opinion and i…

The most important part of your comment is “a group...that demands an absolute adherence to a single unwavering view on a topic” (I removed your opinion of it because you have the right to form your own opinion). I am sorry but no group can demand that everyone else adhere to their viewpoints on a topic and if they…

IDK, Cancel Culture seems even more mean to me.

I guess that pregnant trans person thought they checked enough boxes to get away with violating their non-disclosure agreement.  Whoopsie.

If people don’t like what they are doing (Netflix) don’t watch them, don’t sell your content to them and don’t work for them. Market forces will dictate if the survive. I didn’t see or hear what people are claiming he (Chappelle) said and believe people are hearing what they want to hear. I also acknowledge maybe i’m…

Much of this is due to a sense of absolutism. Chappelle is making fun of a group, (and IMHO going way too far) that demands an absolute adherence to a single unwavering view on a topic that is, at best, difficult to follow, let alone understand for many people. Chappelle takes a view that compares the relative…

How can a company like Netflix bow to cancel culture, and how can employees who participate in this work there in the first place? Over 50% of jokes hit SOMEONE on the head and letting some offense slide off of you because it’s not fair to trash a piece of work just for you is part of the package when being a…

His bungled response is backpedaling in the face of the woke mob throwing a temper tantrum. Words do not cause harm. One’s response to something that is said is what causes that person harm. Thus, if they toughen up a bit then they can take listen to a joke without it being an existential crisis like normal, sane…

Pathetic. I guess all we have to do these days to get a big payday is bitch about insignificant liberal triggers. Grow a pair and stop bending over to these whining millennials.

Fire them, they are toxic.

I agree the jokes were insensitive, but the backlash seems disproportionate.

It sucks to lose good racing stock, but it’s better that they die doing what they were meant to do rather than being stored in a rich prick’s garage (the car, of course, not the drivers...)

I’m starting to wonder if optimizing all of our supply chains around China is no longer as good of an idea as before. They’re autocratic and have complete control over industries, not to mention there’s the whole Taiwan thing which could be hugely problematic for multiple industries just based on what TSMC produces by…

Most days I am reminded how lucky I am that I got into a new vehicle when I did (December ‘20).
