It's incredibly funny, and is both absolutely absurd and socio-politically right on point. Most of the major sketches are on YT, and the whole shows are on HBOMax.

In Defense of Cancel Culture...and Dave Chappelle
Dave Chappelle's defiant defense of his Netflix special shows why cancel culture is actually a good thing.www.theroot.com
Chappelle’s pedestrian point is that he should be free to practice his art in public but he should be immune to public reaction. Apparently, he believes that laughter is the only response that he will consider valid. Chappelle is essentially saying that that the humanity of trans people is less important than his little film and his freedom to say whatever the fuck he wants. And to make his point, he is only using the trans community as a metaphor.
Yep, when this all started I was definitely in the "well, that's just Chappelle" but the more this thing goes in the more he's losing me. The way he's been handling it isn't helping, I know comedians are struggling to find the right tone in today's PC society but at least they're trying.Pretty much sums up the direction this is all going...

It's all about the money, and once again running from the consequences or critique.
It's one thing to make a joke about something controversial as a comedian and it's another to get on a soapbox over something you're clearly offended by. He has an obvious bigotry here, if you're going to rail against the treatment of black people while oppressing LGBTQ in the same routine, you're completely missing the point of equality.Yeah, I don't get the continuous, increasingly worsening, digging in your heels over something that's just outside your wheelhouse (so to speak).
It's just a bizarre obsession. I understand, and always appreciated his perspectives on being black in America, I can get behind his outlook on racial divides, things like police abuse, but to go all in on THIS?
People always need someone to look down on. Now it is transgendered people.
Dave is just going all in and I don't see this ending well for him and Netflix is still reeling from the backlash, do you think they'll greenlight his next special?
That's safe to say, considering he turned down $50 million from Comedy Central way back when he's a man who doesn't care about money and that's refreshing. However, the onus after this incident will be on Netflix as to whether or not they allow him to continue as they face backlash.DC has FU money. He probably doesn't care.
And they'll have to check their phones at the door, or put them in locked cases. Nobody is worth all that IMO.My sister in law told me that tickets to his latest tour are close to CAD $300. Wow.

Phones AND Apple watches etc.And they'll have to check their phones at the door, or put them in locked cases. Nobody is worth all that IMO.
Comedians make fun of everyone. Sucks that some people are offended. Don't watch and move on. Jeff Dunham makes fun of muslims with his "Achmed The Dead Terrorist" puppet. He makes fun on southern alcoholics with his "Bubba J" puppet. Comedians are always at the edge of joking/offending. Do people think that because of Jeff Dunham, violence against muslims has increased?
I think snowflakes are reading to much into this. Ignore it if it bothers you and move on. I ignore things that I find offensive or disturbing to me.
