nah i have a hard time believing that's all it is... Tons of bad specials that don't draw any attention. It's explicitly political and was designed and marketed as such which is where all the attention comes from.

Everyone who doesn't like Chapelle tacitly supports bullying people to death, got it.

I'm not suggesting you can or anything but isn't that part of the larger conversation about transphobia that they have higher rates of that sort of thing.... Obviously he might have his own motives for bringing it up and you can question that but you should also at the very least keep in mind that these online backlash campaigns are not always so harmless either

We're all well aware they're not. I don't think anybody rolling their eyes at cancel culture rhetoric isn't aware that social media dogpiles can actually hurt people who aren't celebrities and rich people. It's well documented and understood and God damn it would be great if we could actually do something about it. But it's a different conversation than celebrities and rich people using their platforms to cause harm with seeming impunity. Which is why it's frustrating when celebrities and rich people conflate these issues to distract from their own harmful activities.

In this case it's not a different conversation because the chain of events that lead to it is directly related to whatever controversy Dave has generated with the last few specials...

Can't believe Dave killed his friend like that.

Trans jokes are played out. You'll never own them as hard as the universe already has.

See I know he's going to backpedal about how I'm misconstruing what he just said but after the whole calling the Wachowskis trannies incident I know he's a scumbag who knows what he's doing and should be banned for hate speech.
