Yeah this has since been deleted because he didn’t agree to that caption at all. Dude was just trying to be nice and take a picture.

You can dislike his last stand up special, but I don’t think any part of it could be misconstrued to the point where he was saying there are only two genders or trans people don’t exist.

If at any point, DC’s 30 minute trans rant neared being funny, I could’ve given him the benefit of doubt.

But nope, it contained zero jokes. It wasn’t funny. It was him inflicting his old man attitude on the world. I loved Dave Chappelle, but I don’t find him funny or a decent person any longer.

Even his golden era was pretty shit in hindsight with a lot of “not black enough” or “not manly enough” punchlines.

Like, I consider the Wayne Brady skit to be near perfection. But it is still predicated on chapelle platforming an asshole who randomly threw shade at someone for “not being black enough” and the core of the joke is that the actual Wayne Brady is “lesser”.

And you can see this with a lot of the “how could anyone have expected this person was problematic?” comedians like louis ck and the like.

Thank you. I always thought Dave Chappelle was a spiteful comedian, and actually was not very funny. He just turned that energy towards trans people so now he’s become a problem for people. But he was never really that funny to begin with, and the root of his jokes always had some sort of vitriol.

This is insane revisionist history. Watch “killing them softly” and try to make the same comments. Don’t bother replying with “I’ve seen it and it’s not funny!!!”, everyone knows it’s one of the greatest stand-up specials of all time

No, no revisionism here. I actually never liked the guy and didn’t understand why he was so popular.
