_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.
He’s an entertainer. Controversy gets views. It might be that simple. So I don’t judge him as a person for those jokes, I have no idea hos real views. But, I do judge him for being the kind of person to use controversy to make money and be popular. I think that should be classified as a mental illness.
What? Choosing to bash the existence of real people for views isn’t better. It’s legitimately worse than people who earnestly believe these things. At least they’re trying to improve things as they see it, even if it’s still horrible. Anyone promoting hate like this just for clout and money is the lowest of the low.
