A recap I read said he literally did a bit about going to the DMV and identifying as Chinese, which, other than being a laaaazy set-up, and boring fuckin punchline that’s been done to death (and actively malicious) is insane on its face, because there’s no way Dave Chappelle has been anywhere near a DMV since at least…

Not a lot of homeless people using Twitter to express disappointment about a standup show that costs money. Which is a shame, since the guy who attacked him said it was partly due to Dave’s homeless material!

I seriously don’t get Chapelle. Even if his jokes were not bigoted.....they are just simple. Like how brain dead do you have to be to find the simplest and easiest jokes funny?

Worse….he bitched and cried and criticism. And then got his fragile Stans to cry about it, too.

I’ve been reading through this thread and slowly losing my will to live (my own fault, I know, I could just leave), so I just have to say how much I appreciate your sane and empathetic responses throughout.

Here’s the thing, they aren’t though. Even if I were to say telling jokes at the expense of trans people is fine, Chappelle’s trans jokes have been awful. Like drunk guy at the bar quality. And this from a comedian who was one of the best of his generation. I don't know what's going on with him, but hopefully he'll…

Standup comedy “discourse” constantly reminds me why I don’t like stand-up comedy. For some people, it’s like religion. For me, it’s like being dragged to church

You’re so close to getting it! You’re right, sex and gender are not the same thing. Sex is what you are assigned at birth, gender is your true identity. Both trans women and cis women share a gender: woman; both trans men and cis men share a gender: man. Trans women are women and trans men are men. See? Not so hard.…

You guys try so hard to pretend to understand or respect science when it comes to these issues…only to reject it when you’re shown how ignorant of it you actually are.

Sure, because simple people like degrading humour that panders to their simple minds.

Especially Chappelle.

If your fragile ego can’t handle some criticism of your lazy, hack, and unoriginal jokes that target marginalized groups, then you can run off to Africa for a while, come back, and be a hero for spewing tired old jokes everyone else dropped 15 years ago.

Show us you’re a bigot while ironically thinking you’re doing the opposite.

He doesn’t believe trans women are women. That’s bigotry. 

joking that it was “a gun that identified as a knife.

Once again, One Joke.

Bigotry is a fancy dessert? 

Remember kids, Netflix’s stance on censorship fluctuates as a function of how it will affect their money. They censored With Bob & David Episode 3 when it looked like it would cost them money

They have one fucking joke.

The upside of this is that I now finally know Tim from Tim and fucking Eric is a standup comic (only ever saw the show) and I’ll be giving him a watch instead of motherfuckers that hate my very existence.
