I was more "offended" by cherry picking of when to see nuance and when to be obtuse, but the content itself was funny AF. and this is one of the last Chappelle topics related to this special I'll be posting in. it's redundant. --- Never let those intent on misunderstanding you be the narrator to YOUR story!

She did not find his jokes rude, crude, off-coloring, off-putting, anything. She thought his jokes were funny. Daphne understood humor and comedyshe was not offended. Why would her family be offended? Dave loved my sister and is an LGBTQ ally, Dormans younger sister Brandy added. His entire set was begging to end this very situation. Weird how no one on the it was offensive side wants to talk about what happened to Daphne and the dragging that people did to her for defending Dave. They only want to talk about Dave but not an actual trans comedian that loved his comedy and was dragged for defending him and then killed herself a week later.

ssjevot 10/12/21 2:14:41 AM #11:	It definitely felt like he had it out for trans people. People say he is an equal opportunity offender. But other than one joke about Jews and a small set about feminists, it was primarily just trans people jokes. Whether that is offensive or not is up to the individual, but in my opinion it felt like some of it wasn't a joke, just a rant about trans people. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:958949712] in What did y...

Lost_All_Senses 10/12/21 2:15:22 AM #12:	I thought it was a huge step down comedically for Dave. It's the first one I don't feel like I'll actually go back to. The impossible pussy joke was funny tho. It almost made me forget how terrible and hacky "punched in the aids" was. Also, sticking to one topic for 3/4ths of your special is always a bad route regardless of if it's an offensive topic or not. I don't want to hear Chappelle talk about the trans community for 45 minutes like I don't want to listen to Jim Gaffigan talk about food for a whole special. The horse it dead, please stop.

If you say so. I also would like to point out that the whole Dapne story is essentially saying "See, I had a Tran friend. She was one the good ones. You guys should be more like this one specific person in the community that likes me" lol. It's anecdotal and completely writes off the entire communities views because one woman was easy going, confident and into comedy. Which it can be just a joke. Until people start using it as ammunition against the rest of the Trans community to be "more like her, the good one". Doesn't that sound familiar? Like something one race has used another race for in the same exact way? Pointing out the more anecdotal "good ones" because they supported with their views. Id like to see someone here dispute this perspective. Because Id love to know if I'm wrong so I can update my own perspective. Btw. Im not for cancelling or taking the show down. I don't think having these discussions are inherently bad and these are usually the things that spark them. I also never even had a glimmer of thought that Dave as a person has malicious intent towards the Trans community. I just think he's fallen into his own ignorance. Which, these are comedians. They all say ignorant shit they only know little about. It's our fault for trying to make them out to be more than that as a whole.

It actually cheapens him more being friendly to her at the time and giving her a shot at her dream. Though could of been genuine at the time and probably was.

The fuck does this mean? That's such a bullshit thing to say. Nobody gives a single fuck what critics say about movies anymore. Their low scores mean absolutely nothing to the general audiences anymore. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Shotgunnova 10/12/21 5:48:52 AM #44:	I enjoyed it overall. Talking primarily about LGBTQ stuff for an hour was a little odd, but with previous controversies in that area, maybe not that odd after all. There were a few jokes in there that seemed mostly for silly shock value (see: Space Jews), a few that seemed deliberately mean-spirited to play on others' labels of him (one part toward the end where Dave says "...and then I pushed violently him off me, because I'm transphobic!" or something, even though it was in the middle of a bit giving the exact opposite effect), and a few that were slightly undercooked. Although I'm in the "comedy shouldn't have sacred cows" camp, some of the writing could've been refined a bit. Honestly, it'd be interesting to see a trans comedian take Dave to task in his own element: stand-up comedy. In the meantime, I don't think enlisting advocates, hosting Twitterstorms, etc. will do much, other than get even more people to watch the special. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:958952326] in What did y...
