Basically admitting that the only reason they’re keeping it is because Chapelle makes money. A less popular comic with the same act wouldn’t have met their standards.

“Our policies say that we do not allow hate speech. But our viewer statistics say that Dave Chapelle is very popular with old white people who like having a black man tell them their prejudices are acceptable. Sorry, minorities, ratings matter more than your safety.”
Nintendo: In the tradition of the Nintendo Labo and the Wii Balance Board, we’re proud to announce our latest batshit peripheral. It turns your Switch into a helicopter.
Rockstar: THE COMPANY IS SAVED!
She should try being a Nazi sympathizer or an anti-vaxxer. Those people never seem to get deplatformed. Probably because they’re not doing anything TRULY evil, like being a woman in a hot tub.
Of course they made this list for clicks, just like every comedian you’ve ever enjoyed wrote their jokes to get paid. It doesn’t mean they don’t mean what they say. People can care about stuff AND make a living.
Yeah, that still happens a lot, actually. My favorite example is the time My Little Pony did a reference to the Ziegfeld Follies. What kid knows about 1920's Broadway productions?
Very few sequels are worth waiting 19 years for. This one was.
Marty continues his fruitless attempts at emulating someone who makes interesting posts.
Market research shows that when 97% of consumers see a game titled “Grand Theft Auto,” they instantly think “I will only buy this is it has helicopters.” Rockstar would be bankrupt if it weren’t for that chopper in the corner of the GTA boxes.
This just makes me wish Whitaker was sticking around longer. I’d have loved to see what she could do with RTD writing her. Chibnall’s run has been VERY hit or miss for me so far, but there’s still time for him to stick the landing.
Well, Eccleston and Tennant thought the Time Lords were all dead already, so I’m not sure it would have absolutely killed them to discover that the cause of death was different than advertised. Tennant had that weird affection for the Master going on but I’m not sure that would have transferred to Smith or Eccleston.…
Yeah, if there’s one thing people hate about Ghostbusters, it’s the comedy. Everytime Bill Murray said something in the original movie everyone in the theater would stand up and go, “Shut up, Murray! We demand a compelling storyline!”
There’s a difference between living in poverty and buying yourself a three million dollar mansion in Hollywood. If you can’t tell the difference then you’re probably not the ally of the working class that you fancy yourself to be.
Do you have Plastic Man powers because that was one hell of a stretch.
Cancel culture isn’t a real thing. The only actual consequence of being “cancelled” is that your career gets a temporary boost because you start getting sympathy attention from all the people who think cancel culture is going to end the world.
Dave Chapelle hasn’t blazed anything since approximately 2004. Now he’s become the kind of tired washed-up comic who defends the status quo, the exact type of person who PREVENTS trans comedians from flourishing.
No matter how hard I try I can’t look at this without thinking “they made Stranger Things with Ghostbusters branding.” If you watch this side-by-side with the Stranger Things episode where the kids dress up like Ghostbusters, it’s like looking into two parallel universes.
Turns out it pays well to be a fake socialist on the internet.
Nickelodeon has plenty of money.
Nah, a rational person would realize that top male streamers also have multiple sources of revenue, so it balances back out to the women still not making nearly as much.
