I mean this is CE after all, where bigotry is ok among other things.

Love how Netflix is ok with his special and is pretty much defending what he said.

I really think by and large their debate stems from:

"I laughed at the special."
"If the special was truly harmful to a particular group then that means I was wrong for laughing at the special, and that I will be judged for this by someone."
"I will begin by assuming I'm not wrong, and then start my argument from there."

And usually that will lead to:
Trying to claim that the words were not harmful (despite being in no position to declare that)
Trying to mitigate by saying that other words said by the same person are equally as harmful
Or declaring "Because I'm not wrong, that means you must be wrong" and work on the complainers as the problem.

And yes, also we have a number of folks on this board who are just anti-trans.

I wasn't "repeatedly ignored" like you claim. I guarantee you have a way worse reputation here than i do. Wasn't you recently suspended? I bet it was for saying offensive shit.

A black man making fun of the power structures that oppress black people is punching up.

A cis man making fun of trans people and saying he's a transphobe doesn't have that same power structure, as in this case he's enforcing the will of the oppressive power structure.

Why'd you delete your post? At least stand by your bullshit if you're going to say it. You said black men can't punch down in America. And then you said you'd not engage with the conversation.

Who are you to decide that? What gives you the right to try to silence him if he isn't saying blantantly hateful things and trying to rouse negativity in people towards a certain demographic? He is just a legendary comedian just doing what he does and making the large majority of people laugh.

How is he being silenced? The Netflix CEO already said he'd not remove it from Netflix. The check already cleared ages ago, so Dave's good. Also, Dave has lawyers if he feels the government is intervening and restricting his speech. He's not having anything he says silenced. He's still a famous comedian with several specials on the world's largest streaming service.

Don't forget that Dave misgendered his supposed friend. Oh, and you can't forget that he never attended any of the memorial services for her, or even reached out to the family.

But making fun of her for not being a professional comedian, and making fun of her for being trans, and misgendering her? Yeah. He was fine doing that. Over and over.

He's lying about some angry crowd of trans people causing her to commit suicide. She killed herself after a week that included getting her daughter taken away and oh. Getting mocked by Dave and his audience after she defended him. If anything, it's fair to say he contributed to her death. But him saying trans people killed her? Nah. That's bullshit. Especially when he was using that as his excuse to mock us. Fuck him and anyone who would defend him.

It's how it's always been with Dave, except when his jokes are reflective of the black community's actual expense like slavery, Reaganomics, crackheads, racial profiling, poverty, etc. Then literally everyone can laugh their fucking asses off and proclaim him as one of the all time comedians because hey, all that shit is true and Dave's just "keeping it real" >___>
