#DaveChappelle #Transgender #Netflix
Imagen how priviledged you have to be if a comedian who makes a joke about your gender is your biggest problem. When became woke people feelings more important than starving childrens or war.
First they wanted equality but now they want special rights
So if Chappelle thinks the situation of trans people is inherently "funny", how would it be if someone said that the dilemna of a black person in the deep South in the 1930's was "funny"?
Good for Dave
I really don’t know what else to say outside of this…but…wow, I just hate msnbc and cnn so much. I’m progressive too.
The truth will win, the mainstream media has already lost the battle.
He shouldn't back down
WTF happened to freedom of speech!! Everyone who is anyone knows their gonna be made fun of?? I'm not against transgenders by all means, but really??? Have a sense if humor for God's sake, look at the world you live in, u think your gonna make a difference just cuz your transgender? That was your choice and everything in this world there are consequences!!
Stop spreading one-sided views, stop trying to impose the rule of a minority over all the others.
We support Dave.
Standing with Dave. How they want equality but don’t wanna be made fun of equally?
Netflix has over 9500 employees. A couple of dozen people walked off the job. Why is this a big deal?
Religion is a deep belief that transcends the understanding of others. A feeling in your heart. It is not the responsibility for others to believe or understand your religious beliefs.
Who the fcuk is running the world now where ya can't speak up?
You can joke on God on Priests and gays and straight people…White people, Asians blacks and even on Jesus…and religion..but you can't joke on Muslims Jews and now transgenders…
How is it transphobic when a person say that everybody come through women legs how does transphobic make me understand
I think his white bashing was far more prevalent than transphobia was. Oh wait, I forgot…white people are supposed to apologize for being white.
Awesome. I support Dave
Thank you Dave! Truth hurts! Thanks again! Now host the Oscars!
People cant take a joke man this way gen z is falling
Let’s go Dave 🤙
Questions for Hannah Gadsby How does it feel to be Hillary Clinton's avatar? Or is that her lover?
I wasn’t too much a fan of David Chappell but now I’m going to watch is stuff on Netflix hopefully it will be funny especially if he is not holding back on transgender people as he doesn’t own any other type of people
It's hilarious that these people think getting bleu hair and putting on a dress create a new living form. Lol, city dwellers in western countries are going mad
Everyone not taking a joke be like
Lol "black trans lives matter" who cares just get on with your lives.
I’m also TERF
If this is what the trans/LGBTQ+ community aims to promote than I withdraw my support for them. I have no problem with the LGBTQ community, everyone has the right to love. However, this form of backlash from the community clearly lacks acceptance, acceptance in the form of art.
DAVE is a legend
If netflix cancel dave for his born right of freedom speech as an American id cancel netflix, I dont understand why the lgbtq community are so sensitive dave makes fun of everybody!!! Lgbtq people need to realize they are recognized they are equal, but rallying against "sis people" is no better then the biggots your so against, he is a comedian if you can't laugh about yourself then your not at peace with your own self image and I feel sorry for you
Comedy is not a political platform, it is a craft that aims to inspire laughter, regardless of the subject matter. Every other group, race, ethnicity, and community has been subjected to jokes. What makes joking on the trans community any different and any more offensive than the others that have had jokes made upon them in the past? Heck, this whole debate is a joke!
definitely have gone back and forth on this subject in my mind and w friends. IMO i dont think anyone is "wrong" in regard to chappelle's stand up specials vs the trans community. i think the complaints seem to be more about the timing and taste of the content. chappelle has great points. the trans community has a right to feel like they don't need anything else hurting them in their struggles. it's good that these conversations are happening, because they bring light to an otherwise invisible subject.
I went into orbit when he said “im team terf†lmao XD
I mean you don't see china protesting against Chappelle's Chinese jokes. because it's a JOKE.
If you don’t like it, turn it off.
It’s called free will.
There is no backlash..its like 5 people on Twitter who dont have intelligence for sarcasm..and didn't really understand the underlying message
Chapelle is stoking hatred amongst the genders and continuing to widen the divide between black and white Americans.
like what he said in his show yt gays are minorites until they have to be yt again.
Male and female gender is a scientific fact. When did the left become anti science?
I guarantee most trans people aren’t offended and laughed right alongside everyone else with Dave and at the controversy
Don’t let these sensitive asswipes speak for the everyone in trans community, they’re individual people with their own thoughts
One way to get publicity.
Some years ago, the United States was, by definition, the country of freedom of expression, now you can't even tell a joke because a small group of the population would be offended and could ruin your life … just like in North Korea. .
The truth is the truth, in our hearts we all know the truth about ourselves, but for different reasons some choose to lie to themselves, but the truth always haunts them, that is why when someone else touches on the truth that they are suppressing even in jest they will rise up in defence….
Jokes have no limits or any sort of lines
Maaaan, certain jokes are just not for everyone! Everyone has a different sence of humor, if you don't like it – dont watch it, it's that simple!
