_number8_wtf happened to dave chappelle
balderdashMaybe he shouldn’t have agreed to take the picture but he didn’t write the caption. They’re clearly using him for a political stunt.
Are they though? He’s been pretty openly transphobic.
I think Dave Chapelle would not consider himself transphobic and as far as I know has never opposed transgender rights.
His could be considered offensive when it comes to transgender people but they aren’t an attack any more than his other jokes were an attack on other groups.
His reaction to the pushback feels like more of an ego thing than making any kind of stand on the topic.
He literally called himself a TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) in one of his standups. It literally means he doesn’t think that Trans people should have equal rights as everyone else.
He also played a blind klansman. It’s comedy, jesus
Literally wore a KKK outfit and shouted the words “I hate n*****s” on his show, but nobody thinks he’s a white supremacist.
But he says “I’m on team terf” and everyone believes him.
And in doing so critics ironically proved one of his points. Which did and continues to fly over a lot of people’s heads.
The genius of one of his recent acts is the trolling he did. He basically made a joke about how fuckable children are and a joke about trans people in the same act, just to see what the media ran with.
I didn’t appreciate how he used Daphne as a shield against criticism, but his unsaid point was salient to me.
Yeah, and that didn’t age well. It’s also a little fucking different considering he’s Black. He’s NOT trans, that’s just an even SMALLER minority group he’s shitting on. How are you so unable to reason about that, what’s wrong with you?
Didn’t age well? Lol, ok. I have a feeling you’ve never watched any Dave Chappelle ever. But you do you.
