Apologize for what?

It's absurd to expect politicians(or anyone) to not take most stories at face value. Was Biden supposed to wait and see if this famous actor was making up a story before releasing a milquetoast statement against hatred? That makes no sense.



Nope.

reminder that dave chappelle called out this lying criminal hoaxing thug “juicy smollett” for his misdeeds early on

the lefties/hollywood/media/politicians started the “chappelle is transphobic” evil campaign against the guy shortly after

They started the Chapelle is transphpbic campaign because he is a high profile figure so those stories get clicks & Chapelle released a series of transphobic "comedy" specials.

Yep Dave, so funny doing another special about being canceled & ranting about Trans people while being broadcast by the largest streaming platform on the planet & receiving millions of dollars.

Thanks for your input, snowflake.

The cancel culture mob hates Chapelle because he dared to criticize those whom have arbitrarily placed themselves above criticism.

Glad to know you're a sheep that follows their herd mentality.

Pointing out the realities of the whole trans thing is not transphobia, it is just being real. I cannot quote him directly having only seen the latest special (causing all the outrage) once, but having watched it in response to the outrage
I was left thinking, “what did he say that was bad exactly?”

Did he say everybody on this planet came out of a woman? Or something along those lines? In a world where old navy jean commercials have drag queens front and center and you find a basic biological fact controversial, maybe you need some serious help.

Yeah comedian after comedian doing bits about being cancelled, while being promoted on major platforms, and I'm the one who is a sheep for finding it to be tired hack material. Is there any topic that we won't find you parroting the typical Shapiro/Crowder talking points on?

Also saying his material on transgender people is problematic and not generally not funny does not mean we hate him.

Serious question

Why are you so fucking dumb?

So anything you don't want to hear is a Shapiro/Crowder talking point. Got it.

These comedians wouldn't be doing bits about being canceled in the first place if the cancel culture mob wasn't deeply unpopular, which they are. They are little more than a vocal minority that considers their snowflake feelings to be more important than everything else, and that their feelings mean everyone else has to be censored. Wrong. That isn't how the world works, and people who subscribe to that need to grow up.

If you consider calling out delusional people for being delusional "problematic", then I guess you could consider Chapelle's opinions problematic. But I don't think so. And luckily, the non-vocal majority would agree with that assessment.

I contend that he is not pointing out realities.



In his special I am not contending that he has said things that are mean spirited and deliberately hateful. My point is more so that the things he is saying about trans people are misguided and hacky and generally aligns with messaging of transphobes.
Also good comedy is different than simply critiquing a group. Doing critiques of marginalized communities is a difficult line to ride while still being funny. I'm contending that a lot of his recent material on trans people is not even really even coming off as attempts at humor and is more like old man ranting (like he is trying to be like Geroge Carlin, but not doing it as well). I mean there was a joke or something that ended on a punchline or something of like imposs-a-pussy that was decent, doing jokes about trans people or at the expense of trans people is fine... its just kind of tiring with how much of the 'comedy' is the same joke or just mean spirited punching down that doesn't really make any poignant observations of the trans experience.

Dave made his career on doing transgressive comedy focusing on marginalized communities that hit hard with poignant observations. He kind of quit for a long time because he perceived that a lot of the audience wasn't really taking in the poignant observations he was trying to convey and were consuming it for the transgressive nature against the marginalized communities. With his trans jokes I'm kind of disappointed in him because I feel like he is making transgressive comedy focusing on a different marginalized community, but this time he is the one that is missing the poignant observations and not seeing that people are consuming it because of its transgressive nature against a different marginalized community.
