Backlash be damned, Dave Chappelle is apparently basking in the glory of being canceled.
The veteran comedian received a standing ovation and a raucous fireworks display at the Hollywood Bowl on Thursday night during a screening of his untitled documentary as if he hadnt just been widely criticized for transphobic remarks he made in his new Netflix special, The Closer.
If this is what being canceled is like, I love it, the 48-year-old Chappelle said onstage in response to the standing O, according to several reports.
Rapturous applause broke out after that, the Hollywood Reporter said, adding that Chappelle was more blunt elsewhere in the program, denouncing his cancellation over his exclusionary jokes.
F Twitter. F NBC News, ABC News, all these stupid-ass networks, he reportedly said. Im not talking to them. Im talking to you. This is real life.
He reportedly had a moment of sincerity onstage Thursday as he promoted themes in the doc, telling the Bowl audience to do something nice for someone who looks nothing like you and trust one another.
Thursdays performance was attended by Tiffany Haddish, Brad Pitt, Jeff Ross, Michael Buffer, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Jon Hamm and Stevie Wonder. Wonder also shared a message of unity, calling on attendees to cancel hate and fear.

Literally uncancellable.

Just for continuity's sake, I'd like to point out that he didn't say this like yesterday. He said it on the 7th of October, two days after The Closer was released.

People can correct me on this if I'm wrong, but I feel like much of the dialogue surrounding critique of The Closer came out over this past weekend.

So people reading this quote as "Ha ha they tried to cancel me and couldn't" would do well to note that this seems to be more pre-emptive here than anything.

Y'know, like if you went into an in-session courtroom, took a shit in front of the judge on the floor and yelled "Ha ha! I got away with it!" as you shuffle towards the exit with your pants around your ankles.

That's literally what you're doing, dismissing anyone who doesn't agree that Chappelle is some untouchable genius of comedy.

Hey, how many sitting politicians are there who have succeeded in passing laws that prohibit you from using public bathrooms? None. Damn. Good job, you sure showed me.

Imagine how Fox News would be flipping shit if he mocked white people or Christians. Tucker Carlson had a piece on someone getting Photoshopped onto a saltine cracker.

Don't tell me about how everyone understands being made fun of and there are no limits. No one actually operates like that in practice.

I mean Clutch proved that wrong immediately by getting hostile to gunplagirl. Like scant minutes into this topic and that philosophy was tossed out the window.

And then has the audacity to say "it's my line" like he owns the arbitration on what is "joke" and what is "serious business".

Offensive jokes are more nuanced that everyone is pretending now. Notice how few comedies center around making fun of a race's facial features.

He said the same tired transphobic bullshit that politicians have used to justify making laws banning trans people from accessing public facilities, getting medical care of any kind, or even just being able to dress in a way that makes kids comfortable without the state getting informed about potential child abuse.

There's plenty of jokes about trans people that are fucking hilarious, I'm in plenty of trans Facebook and discord groups where we make memes all the time.

The fucking guy misgendered a dead trans woman who he said was his friend. That's not funny.

hockeybub89 posted...

There's varying degrees of discomfort or disgust with trans people that might not qualify as being considered outright hatred. But it's more than 0%. And anyone who is well adjusted and cis would have already moved on with their life because this doesn't affect them further in any way whatsoever. Trans people on the other hand continue to get made fun of online for finding bigotry offensive.

People and outlets were immediately shitting on it and him out of the gate.

Sorry, but Dave is not gonna be "cancelled". He's one of the most if not the most lauded comedians today. He'll always be able to perform and people are always gonna pay to come see him do so. If he never has another special on netflix I 100% promise you that's because he decided not to, not because they wouldn't do it.
