The Evils of Men
All Facts, this ain't the 90s

What you see in people like Chappelle, people who see loss of future earning capacity as an existential threat, is faith in an order that doesn’t actually exist. In the real world there’s no right to keep something just because you have it. In the real world you can lose everything, be forced to adapt, to change your life. These realities aren’t always fair—they sometimes are—but they are realities the vast majority of us must live with. At its seething core, the cancel culture panic is people who live on clouds yelping at the lightest tug of gravity. The cruelest joke is that it’s still all the gravity they’ll ever feel.

Haven't seen the special yet, but I hate that comedy sets are treated like political speeches, education lectures or some sort of academic dissertation nowadays by anybody with an axe to grind

They're fukking jokes. Censorship doesn't belong in comedy at all

There's plenty of right wing hack comedians, feminist comedians etc that say shyt that might bug me or I just wouldn't like, but I just don't watch or pay it any mind. I'm not gonna campaign for them to be silenced. It's really that simple. If you don't like the content then don't watch it

Please stop with this lazy ass bullshyt, Dave can do a special about whatever just like people can get on his ass about whatever

What Goes Up: Dave Chappelle, Transphobia, and "Cancel Culture"

Imagine thinking a 45+ year old black man doesn’t know they can lose it all at any moment. Gtfoh.

What lazy ass bullshyt?

Saying that you shouldn't pay attention to content you won't like is lazy?

It'd be one thing if he was an educator or politician. He's a comedian doing a comedy set.

Like I said, there's all sorts of categories of comedians who's work would annoy the fukk out of me if I watched it, but I just don't give it any mind, and I'm not gonna push for them to be deplatformed just because the content isn't what I want to hear.

The outrage over this is lazy and dishonest

Since Dave turned down $50 million he obviously doesn't care about losing it all and the point was you aren't saying whatever you want in 2021 like you could in the 90s so you GTFOH

Yes that lazy ass bullshyt, letting someone preach hate willy nilly and you just ignoring it, especially one with a huge following that people will use to justify their own already bigoted beliefs.

Grow the fukk up

Nothing he said in the special was that serious, and it seems like the point went over your head.

Nobody is saying to not criticize him, just don't try and censor him. Trying to ban people or tape their mouths shut to keep them from saying something you don't agree with is cowardly.

Keep believing that, got into it with someone else over this mysterious "point" and they could not explain what it was

It's one thing to miss a point, it's another to be obtuse.
