It's not like Dave showed Netflix this special a couple weeks ago and they pressed the go button. This has been in the can for months. Dave was working on these jokes in early 2021, people tweeted about the JK Rowling thing way back then. They knew what they had, and were fine with it. They aren't gonna take it off Netflix. That's not happening. And frankly....I don't think anything that has happened will prevent them from attempting to get more content from Dave? More specials? A television series? Who knows. The special is doing what it was supposed to do. Drive conversation and views.
I haven't seen it yet. But I hope this is the final nail in the "cancel culture" bullshyt that people propagate. Cancel culture doesn't exist. People are conflating "cancel culture" with "people facing consequences for criminal acts or disgusting behavior." R Kelly wasn't cancelled - he's a child predator who is going to jail, and thus no one wants to associate with. Harvey Weinstein wasn't cancelled - he was convicted of sexual assault, and will die in prison. If I have any problem with Dave it's his constant conflating of these concepts. To the point he even gave Louis CK an opener slot during his last comedy tour. You know, the guy who sexually harassed multiple women and now tells weird jokes about how the PC police are out of control. Nah breh you showed your dikk to women and are a fukking creep...and frankly I find it wack that Dave is giving him a second chance, Dave has daughters right? And no, Louis CK isn't broke either. He's not out here starving in need of work. He never truly atoned for what he did.
