It's funny because everything you guys are complaining about is addressed at some point in the actual special, but it's clear that most of you have only seen quick little clips and are making your assessment from there.

If you hate a comedian who jokes about everyone only once he makes a joke about one specific group you like...you're probably not smart

Shame his comedy took this turn, people wouldve been fine if he just stuck to racial jokes about white people and mean jokes about women as he normally does, but doing similar skits about trans people is crossing a line. Though to be fair he seems self-aware of how his bits about the lgbtq community would be perceived as egregious in this day and age, he mentioned how Dababy shot and killed someone at a Walmart and that did nothing to jeopardize his career but him making homophobic comments instantly hurt his career more than killing someone ever did. If he understands this dynamic of public perception are at play I dont get why he doesnt just stop making jokes about the lgbtq community, guess hes just an asshole.

Wow, it's like you ran right up to the finish line but decided to take a nap before crossing. The reason he keeps making trans jokes while understanding the public perception at play, is because he WANTS to force people to confront their biases/double-standards. It's something comedians have been doing for decades, and it helps with opening people's eyes to perspectives they may not have previously considered. You're basically asking why Chapelle didn't take the cowardly route of playing it safe to be as appeasing as possible. Well, the short answer is: He's not a pussy lol

I'd answer that it could be one of multiple things, but never mind, because you've already decided what the answer is.

Let me guess, you think Im transphobic because of that post huh?

Interesting, havent considered that perspective, I just enjoy partaking in the outrage when someone of Daves stature says something like that so the nuance to what hes saying is lost on people like me

And there we go. You decided that everyone offended by the joke is a hypocrite and decided that I'm calling you transphobic. What are you even doing in this topic if you didn't even want to have a conversation?

He didnt get me at all. He got called out for his bullshit and he came back with his its just a prank bro type of garbage. Clearly its not the same. Why should I expect anything less from both of you?

You know what? Im done. Why am I even bother arguing with shit opinions? What a waste of time.

your first mistake was thinking you can engage in sincere dialogue and discourse with someone like Cyricz about an issue where you disagree without turning to strawmans, mockery, petty insults etc... though to be fair theres quite a few posters with the same energy, I would know given Im one of them

Say is the type of person to see weed as a schedule 1 drug and believe all the propaganda about it being a gateway drug and whatnot.

Her opinions are less than useless on most things.

Good to know. Where should I rank your opinions on a scale in relation to hers? I imagine your opinions arent less than useless on most things like hers but I dont want to assume, just want to know for future reference

histories of bigotry and all of that aside, I always felt that individuals who believed they should be "off limits" to jokes and criticisms should opt out of participating in the jokes and criticisms of other individuals and demographics. even if they belong to more than one group themselves.

basic rule: don't dish it out if you can't take it.

Also to the people saying "LGBT and trans people shouldn't be joked about"

That's why he and other people hate you. Because no one is above a joke but you FEEL like you are. It's weird.

That's what he's getting at. The moment you tell a joke about them they try to cancel you. Can't take a joke to save a life.
