That you can joke about anything and even do bad stuff, but it's at LGBTQ jokes that some ppl will draw the line.

Why are you defending someone you think is homophobic and racist?
So you're going by the playbook of "label those I don't like, regardless of if it's true or not"?

So.. They got offended over that rather than the part where Chappelle said he would jerk all over on an old man if he was a kid, and enjoy it? Huh.

Yea I guess I don't understand why the trans jokes are being focused on when he's said way worse about other groups of people throughout his entire career.
This. If youre gonna bust his balls, it seems hypocritical to only do so when he rags on your own people.

It's an odd day when people say "you know he said racists and homophobic stuff too" and frame it as a defense of the person.
Somebody probably told them to say it on the YouTube or Twitter or whatever, so they keep saying it without thinking critically about it.

And I'll still "defend" him after reading the details and watching the special. If someone could thoroughly explain why they are so outraged about the special and why a protest is warranted, I'd be interested to read.

Do I agree with everything he said? No. He is a bit ignorant about certain beliefs but I don't see why people would want to ban or protest him for expressing himself in a non-hateful way.

I don't know if it's this board or society in general, but it seems like LGBTQ is the most hypersensitive minority; even people who aren't LBGTQ become virtually apoplectic at the slightest insinuation of something not entirely positive about the group.

I completely agree that people who hate are douchebags, whether it's racism, homophobia, sexism, ageism, or transphobia.

But to act like a certain group is completely off limits joke wise? Get over yourself. Get. Over. Yourself.

We can do just fine without anger mob bullies whether they be cis or trans.

I'm done playing the game where people lie and conflate minorities with assholes. They aren't at all the same concept.

I'm not anti-minority, I'm anti-asshole.

Quite a number of posters defended Dave unsurprisingly.
is this the same netflix trans employee that got suspended (along with 2 other people) that interrupted a netflix board meeting?

Edit: It's not.

jokes about the LGB part have existed for decades.

the surge in hypersensitivity could easily be explained in a quote from another dave c special:
And I cannot shake this awful suspicion that the only reason everybody is talking about transgenders [sic] is because White men want to do it.

It reeks of White privilege.

The VERY BOTTOM 100%.
All year all you hear about is that "they" want to be treated like a normal human being. They fight for it all year long UNTIL that LGBTQ pride week pops up. Then they start going around mouthing off "I'm gay, fuck straight people". And then once that week is over its back to "I just want to be seen as a normal human being like everybody else".

Fuck off hypocrites.

Oh wow.

This is what goes through your head when you think about LGBTQ+ folks?

I'm sorry.

One of the big reasons Pride month exists, continues to exist, and has a lot of people calling attention to it is because of the lack of equity for LGBTQ+ people that still hasn't happened.

It's still legal in many states to fire someone for being gay or trans.

There have been more anti-LGBTQ+ laws enacted this year than in the worst recent year (17 enacted this year, 15 enacted in 2015) with hundreds more being debated and considered.

And you wanna act all pissy because they get loud in June?

The only people that give a shit if they suck a cock or lick a pussy is righteous bible thumpers. And who lives their life giving a fuck what they think. You do you cause thats your business not mine.

But like I said, don't sit there and complain about being seen as a normal person all year round to turn into a fucking hypocrite the minute LGBTQ rolls around. It makes you look like an asshole when you start getting jolly & mouthing off "I'm gay fuck you straight people". What happened to just wanting to be seen as a regular human being like everyone else. Cause you know once that month or week is over its back to "love me for who I am, I'm just a normal human being to". Fuck you.

When people say "I want to be treated like everyone else", they're saying that they don't want to be negatively judged for things that are beyond their control, which is a thing that people do to them.

That doesn't mean that they're hypocritical for celebrating their community and progress they've made, especially when the road has been so hard.

Do you honestly think the point of Pride is to say "fuck you straight people"? Is being straight such an identity to you that you feel it worth defending?

Just proving my point even more. No substantive argument, just "oh you're so offensive."

Comedians have been making off-color jokes about the most heinous shit for as long as I can remember. Suicide, pedophilia, terrorist attacks, rape, and all minorities under the sun.

Trans people are no different. Sorry.
You want equal rights for LGBTQ? Well then welcome to the roast club. Now sit down and shut up and enjoy the comedy.
