It’s time for Chapelle to move on from trans jokes- Shaun King

[Duke Wy Lin]

Nikkas are conflating black issues with trans issues.

Talking about "he panders to right wing racists" no the fukk he doesn't

He still stays on they neck. He's still as pro black as ever. Calling out LGBT for their hypocrisy and overuse of censorship does not make Dave anti black.

 

[CodeKansas]

No one else is really doing it though every other comedian just plays it safe now

Ricky Gervais just did it this year, too

He needs to focus on being funny cause these Usher ass confessions he calling comedy specials ain't doing. Shenaynay and Tootsie gonna bytch about something irrelevant either way. But him using the trans debcales as a cover for these mid ass routines he doing can only go so far.

I agree. But I also blame Netflix, since they are putting EVERY Chappelle appearance anywhere on their platform as a special. Even when he's not telling jokes

 

[Robbie3000]

I've been saying for a minute that Comedy Central/Killin em Softly Chapelle was feared and despised by right wing racists. This new Dave Chappelle who's only material nowadays is whining about trans people, getting canceled, and political correctness like some type of disgruntled radio cac has become a hero to these deplorables.

Yet let the Coli tell it and this boring new Joe Rogan-adjacent shyt slinging is "spitting knowledge," some how elevating black consciousness, and above criticism. I thought the Tariq stans were the worst but Chapelle fans are like lost children who never knew they father or something. They ready to fight if you dare speak against their God. As if the man is some type of persecuted activist-scholar and not a washed up millionaire entertainer who had a good Comedy Central show he didn't even write on his own. He's clearly ran out of material, and has jumped aboard this tired bandwagon of bullying and punching down on "SJWs" and trans to stay controversial and relevant.

Meanwhile a bunch of Fox News watching psychos who believe the 2020 election was rigged, black people come from "shythole countries," and called Chapelle an anti-white racist just ten years ago when he was actually taking on REAL issues are now clapping like circus seals at his whiny tired monologues towards the most non-threatening shyt out there. The man is not a victim. He is not Muhammad Ali. The shyt has lost all it's substance, all it's intellect, and just looks like one-sided browbeating and a cheap schtick at this point. There's nothing to laugh at or think about. Dude's just fronting like the shyt is more cerebral than it actually is.

Anytime I turn on a comedy special if the first thing I hear is the same ole tired bytching and whining about "political correctness" or "no one can take a joke no more" or whatever, I turn it off. Tired of this shyt. Yes, this generation takes diversity and insensitive speech towards marginalized people more serious than generations before. Get the fukk over it and come up with some other shyt already. Every one of these dudes, including Chapelle. telling the same jokes at this point and people are starting to catch on with this gimmick. Only alt-right anti-social idiots who get an honest kick out of seeing others bullied still finds this shyt funny.

This dude is in every Dave thread acting like a fakkit.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

It’s not to do with hurting their feelings but for comedy reasons he needs to change subject matter, it was cool the first two times but recycling the same material gets boring so I agree with some coli brehs.

Chapelle is now being known more for his social commentary rather than his actual comedy.

 

[Robbie3000]

Agreed. Its getting to a point where he's seen as a hero for right wing MAGA types. This chick for example was in line flipping off protestors while in line to see him in Minneapolis

Are you going to stop supporting your favorite sports team because MAGAs support the same team?

Yeah I don’t think so.

 

[Robbie3000]

So he wants to shyt on trans people without any consequences.

Lol what joke, imagine some racist comedian using similar logic against us, while getting 50m from Netflix.

Empathy isn't a hard thing, you obviously won't let racism slide so why should they let transphobia slide.

Because there is no transphobia in any of the material. Just jokes and declarations that he doesn’t believe trans women = real women. That’s not transphobia, that’s just a fact.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Dave's obsession with cancel culture and whatever nonsense his racist friends (Rogan and Musk) are telling him is getting old. You guys can deny it all you want. That man doesn't look or sound happy at fukking all. He seems creatively stuck and is just treading water on the "hot topic" of our time...however it's only a hot topic for a very specific, very white male group. Some of the specials have hilarious parts and at times I'm reminded of old Dave but for the most part? It's a lot of rambling. A lot of interesting stories, but I wouldn't call it comedy.

He's already proven he cannot be cancelled so what's the point of beating a dead horse.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

I said this after the last special. It went from jokes and views on current climate in the previous specials to feeling like Dave had a bad experience with a trans and went to the local bar to vent to people who didn’t really ask about it.

Stale and boring now

Someone physically attacked him on stage for telling trans jokes just a few weeks ago and a handful of trans activist got a venue in Minnesota to cancel his show a few days ago.

You won’t even let my comment go, but you expect him to let all that shyt and all the attacks in the media go?

fukk that.

If you don’t want to hear his comedy at this moment, just don’t click on his face.

Simple. Problem solved. Y’all acting like a bunch of scorned women.

 

[CrimsonTider]

He doesn’t tell trans jokes. He speaks on the dynamics and issues he CONTINUES to face because of something he said about trannies. When they stfu and stop speaking on Dave, he won’t have anything to say about it.

Maybe it’s time for him to tell jokes then

Yeah, shyt weird. They wanna press people out to call them “women” and consider them normal but if someone calls out the bullshyt they gotta stop? Y’all ever stop to think that for some (aka white men) this whole tranny thing is a display of their hubris? Now they get to be white men but with the added caveat of being a “minority” as well.

Our generation is fukkin trash. More concerned with who’s fukkin who or what pronouns to use instead of real issues. That should tell you how well trained we are by the powers that be.

A mentally ill clout chasing person attacked him on stage. Meh. And a small venue cancelled due to their staff calling in sick on purpose so...he got moved up to a bigger venue that same day. My point stands. He's gone on multiple tours during all of this at major venues. He is proof positive that "cancel culture" does not exist for celebs. If you want to argue it exists on the academic level with teachers fine. But celebs? Companies? Nope. Twitter isn't real life.

You're saying a black man can't think for himself?

You couldn't help but respond to an anonymous poster on a small forum just as I predicted, but want Dave to just take all these attacks from LGBTQ activists and the media with a grin on his face.

Got it.
