I haven't watched the special, just heard about it.

Are the things he said really that cruel?

Because he said some ignorant things. There are jokes and then there's being offensive.

While i believe he wasnt being hateful it was still extremely ignorant.

Between the terrible jokes, he says he's on team TERF, gender is a fact (he meant sex but he's dumb), and seems to think only white people can be trans.

Of course POC can be trans as well, but you must remember. Trans people in the US make up less than 1% of the population, in a country where the majority of the populous is white. So basically, you're talking about a minority percentage of a minority percentage. I see more people talking about POC trans people than i do actual POC trans people

Yes, he would often use stereotypes as the butts of his jokes. He didnt say something along the lines of "all trans people like spaghetti" he said agreed with a stance that dont acknowledge them as people.

Nooo, he implied that they use their white privilege when they need to and use being gay as a minority when they need to. While LGBTQ POCs don't have that same luxury.

Just so everyone is informed:
0.8% of the African-American community identifies as trans.
0.5% of Caucasians identify as trans.

This is all from the UCLA.

His show was full of so much stereotypes that when a white person laughed at one of the bits while they were filming in a weird way, he had a mental breakdown and left for Africa.

So glad he grew as a performer and left all that behind. /s

Well the study did say it was unadjusted to the total end population, since it also said that 53% of the population identified as White while 16% identified as black, so its unknown if that 0.5% of 53% is still way bigger or smaller compared to 0.8% of 16%. I mean in total numbers of course.

Wasn't the mental breakdown just propaganda from his former employer?

Well you see TC, the trans people you see online all the time are what we call a "vocal minority". They get upvotes and likes and all that stuff for being who they wanna be, but in the end there's not as many as you would think. Its kind of like you see so many atheists all over the web from the US when they only make up like 4% of the population

Because that's how bullies operate. They try to tell you what you can and can't do, then when you do not obey, they smear and attack and try to defame.

I've seen the special myself. It was funny but it definitely wasn't Dave's best work. It was most addressing all the controversy he had garnered over the last few years. All the people addressing all the "transphobic" stuff clearly haven't watched it all the way through or only hear what they wanna hear.

I agree it was weak for Dave, that's been my main talking point. I think the Trans stuff is worthy of conversation but not cancellation.

Is it ok to make fun of a trans person if what youre making fun of them for has nothing to do with them being trans?
