_number8_wtf happened to dave chappelle
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.
TrickDacyIf 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.
I feel the same. He was a beloved icon of comedy and “speaking truth to power” and now he’s just an old man who sees no problem with NIMBYism and gay bashing.
Yep. I wanted to believe he has made some miscalculations with previous jokes. But literally wasn’t even trying to be funny in that special. I kept waiting for it. He lost me with that one and this photo further cements it. He couldn’t possibly not know who that bitch is right?
It would be so incredibly easy to shut up about trans people… But some people are just so bothered by them they cannot help themselves. I don’t get it.

It was like 4 or 5 specials in a row too. He was a surprise opener when I saw Jon Mulaney last year and he went on another trans rant there. Very disappointing.
I don’t really “go out” much. If somebody is extremely unhappy about the surprise opener, would it be fair for them to ask for their money back and leave? Or would you just get ignored
Probably depends on the venue. But openers are usually only 5-15 min or so anyway, depending on how many and how the show is structured. Chappelle was disappointing, but not enough to ruin the rest of the show. I was happy to stay for Jon Mulaney’s set which was fantastic.
