“I guess apparently they had made a pledge to the public at large that they would make their club a safe space for all people, and that they would ban anything they deemed transphobic,” Chappelle reacted on his “The Midnight Miracle” podcast at the time. “This is a wild stance for an artistic venue to take, especially one that’s historically a punk rock venue.”
This guy doesn’t understand any subculture, does he? The punks are, historically, very anti-fascist, and the ones I know are also some of the strongest queer allies I’ve ever met. And this guy is surprised that they didn’t want his bigotry masquerading as humour.
I’m so sick of people trying to hide hate speech behind free speech, behind tolerance, behind pluralism. It’s hate. It’s hate. It doesn’t need to be protected and included. This is very old news. All they do by quibbling about it is broadcast to the world that their intellect is about 100 years behind the rest of us. Fuck you, Dave.
Wrong. Hate speech is deplorable, but it’s not up to the state to decide good or bad speech. How long ago was it that queer advocacy would have been seen as bad speech by the government? I would assume that drag shows were not illegal thanks to the protections afforded it by freedom of speech, during times when the government and the people would have been more than willing to ban them. Would a government attempt to flag atheism as hate speech if enough evangelical protestants held office?Speech is speech (hate, good, bad, whatever) and the government should not be able to limit it whatsoever.
If you dont like dave, dont spend any money with him or anyone/any business that supports him.
I agree the state should not infringe speech. You are free to blow more word count than is actually in the First Amendment on reminding us that it exists, and you did. I get it.
But we can hold the belief that the state should stay out of it even while we personally shit on assholes spewing hate and crying “free speech” when they get a reaction to it. They have free speech - they cry about it because they want it to be guaranteed bandwidth / freedom from consequences. Fuck them and fuck that.

Sorry about that. I just assumed you were dumb and irrational because of your take. My bad.
And it’s not like you can’t make jokes involving trans people, just don’t make jokes at the expense of trans people.
Humour doesn’t punch down. That’s just bullying.
I feel like this punching model is like Newtonian physics. We do have relativity now, but you gotta take a higher-level class for that one.
But also, he needs to make jokes period. I saw his last special. If there were any punchlines following his ranting about the mean trans people bullying him online, I totally missed them.
The punks
wereare extremely LGBTQ+ acceptant, even as far back as the 60s and 70sThat’s part of what
mademakes them so fucking hot… all that leather? Are you kidding me?If punk was “extremely LGBTQ+ acceptant”, then they did they have to create an offshoot? 🤔
If television viewers were accepting of cooking then why did they have to create a subgenre of cooking shows?
That… doesn’t make sense. Viewers don’t make new shows.
Ok. Your question also didn’t make sense.
I don’t think you understand punk
There’s no “have to” about it
Yes. And there were a lot of Nazi punks too.
If he did one special about a trans joke and apologized I’d feel different. He did 4 specials bashing trans people. Now this rat fuck is trying to “redeem” himself. He can go fuck himself. Just another rat fleeing the sinking ship. Don’t forget he bought out elon musk and everyone booed him.
And he called his audance poor when they booed Musk.
He’s poor, compared to Musk. If the Sociopathic Oligarchs had their way, he’d survive their purge, but not because he’s rich, but because he’d be their dancing monkey. The moment he stopped being funny to them, they’d just send him off to the camps, and keep his paltry fortune.
If the Sociopathic Oligarchs had their way, he’d survive their purge, but not because he’s rich, but because he’d be their dancing monkey.
Which is supposedly what he was refusing to be when he quit his show so long ago.
"Hey guys I just realized I allied with a bunch of fascist pedophiles and now the only people who want to associate with me are the same people who unironically called me the N word my entire life.
Can y’all just conveniently forget I did that and give me more money again?" - Dave Chappelle
Remember when you prematurely ended your show because of some white guy laughing a little too hard at some of your racial humour in a way that you didn’t like? Well guess what Dave, that’s your fuckin audience now after you quadrupled down on your trans bullshit.
These are the people who you chose after you were politely asked to lay off the trans thing and you refused.
Too much of a disconnected rich guy now to give a shit what the poors think I guess.
Did the Saudi money already run out? You don’t get to cater to these jackals then claim innocence when they run with your jokes.
That is absolutely what you were doing, you bigoted fuck bag. Don’t blame Republicans for laughing at your horribly bigoted jokes.
You engineered them specifically so that your bigoted fans would laugh at them, you piece of shit. Then you played the race card to try to get out of it, and it didn’t work because your bigoted piece of shit fans didn’t like Black people either.
And since those are your only fans left, you are left with nothing, and that’s all you deserved. Nothing.
Dave dint have a problem going to Friday festival in saudia arabia
He didn’t have trouble selling out for a huge paycheck
Sounds like someone’s having a little bit of buyer’s remorse, huh? This is why you never drink the Kool-Aid
He sealed the deal when he invited Musk on his stage to suck him off. He showed the world who he really was at that point, make no mistake again.
Does Dave Chappelle know he is a dick?
That’s the weird part, I’m pretty sure he does
I doubt it. Dickheads are never self aware.
He lives in a bubble of people telling him he’s great, like most dicks.
Speaking of, does anybody still listen to what Bill Burr has to say?
You mean ever since he sold out and took Saudi blood money?
That is the exact thing I was referring to. I hear he still does podcasts but my algo dropped him faster than I could.
This fucking quote
Everything seems absolute, and any opinion I respect is way more nuanced than these binary choices they keep putting in front of us. I don’t see the world in red or blue.”
He just doesn’t get it
If you want to know how horrible of a person Dave Chappelle is, he thinks that this is redeeming for him.
Desperately rewriting history after not wanting to play conservative crowds anymore. Fuck off Dave. If he apologized and changed I MIGHT hear him out, but all he is doing now is shifting blame.
Right, he was “only” targeting transgender people for money. Way better. /s
Get bent, Dave. You became the thing you used to mock.
Fuck you Dave Chappelle.
FUCK YOU.
Yeah fuck that, if you lay down with pigs don’t get upset when you wake up covered in shit.
That’s not what he thought he was doing, but it’s absolutely what he was doing.
Even if that was true, it’s not, he’d still be a NIMBY piece of shit.
NIMBY Chapelle is a new-one for me. Whatchu got?
Holy fuck, okay, that was easier and shittier than I anticipated by-far. Blocking multi-family housing? Wow
Yep, he really went out to advocate for not letting poor people move into the neighborhood.
He became the white people he joked about
