Longtime Chappelle fan. Hilarious man. Tough times for comedians as everyone nowadays is offended by everything, and the job of a comedian is often to make fun of anything and everything, as long as it gets laughs.
You posted questions and I was wondering if you were quoting someone or asking it yourself.I do not understand the question.

It is odd. I was still confused when AAA tried to help me out LOL. My bad. I bumped this because of the recent Netflix special and wasn't thinking about the 2018 questions.The questions presented were posted in the opening entry, their gold highlight intended to note. Then I provided answers from my point of view below those entries, not in bold.
It feels odd that i have to explain this to you.

watching now....the whole Daphne thing is sad, sobering an
... other than the overt intolerance.It's the hypocrisy and as we all know, the hypocrisy is the worst part.
I noticed that too. Almost like they regretted buying tickets.I just watched it and enjoyed it. I felt like he went to the trans well a little too much, but overall it was pretty funny.
The two larger white ladies in the crowd obviously didnt enjoy the show as much as I did.
Love Clayton Bigsby. When the interviewer explains why he left his wife I can’t not laugh every time.https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dave-chapelle-netflix-special-facing-cancellation-trans-comments-critics-irate
Chapelle - I greatly admire him. I thought his Black White Supremecist was one of the finest skit's I've seen, great great mind for comedy
There comes a time in every man’s life* where he realizes he’s not as important as he thinks he is. Sorry Rock.I'll never get this corrected in society, will I?

Not sure what you mean "never get this corrected in society." But I agree with you that "gender" is not "sex." Or at least "gender" is not "sexual organs."rockaction said:And they've confused him. "Gender" is not "sex." They're two totally different concepts, not to be used interchangeably.

Oh, it's a pet peeve of mine when people use the two interchangeably. I've railed a long time on this board and in life about it.Not sure what you mean "never get this corrected in society." But I agree with you that "gender" is not "sex." Or at least "gender" is not "sexual organs."
That seems to be what they are teaching kids these days. If my daughter's high school classmates are any indication, society will figure this out soon enough. Kind of like we did with marijuana and gay marriage.
This latest special was a turd. I'm a fan of his but this was a dud. It's Iike he focused too much on the edginess of it that he forgot to add the jokes. I chuckled a few times but honestly, fell asleep in the middle.Big Chappelle fan. One of the best stand ups of the past couple decades. His last couple specials were great. Some weird stuff, some cringy stuff. IMO not as solid as other stuff he's done but still interesting and funny. Maybe some people loved them and maybe some people thought they sucked. Comedy or art is going to illicit these reactions.
If groups don't like it and Netflix pulls it that's their business. Everything working fine.
Thanks for posting that article. It was a very good read.watching now....the whole Daphne thing is sad, sobering and a real wake up call to how we are treating each other b/c we can do anything we want from behind a keyboard without any regard for the person/people on the other end.
I love dave's humor and his old skits. But I 100% respect that his act has morphed into a true call to action on civility and being decent human beings to each other...all while still being funny as hell!!

IDK? I took that segment as an example on how the trans community turned on her—esp on social where people who were not there or personally knew her still attacked her— so viscously that it made her make the decision to end her life. In a community that generally is about supporting each other in their decisions, instead they unanimously vilified her for doing what she loved, because of who she did it with, and basically completely closed off what already small support system she may have had.I watched the whole thing. I wasn’t offended but I didn’t particularly think it was great comedy. I found the Daphne story off putting and comparable to “I can’t be a racist because I have a black friend.”
https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/15/22728337/netflix-fires-organizer-trans-employee-walkout-dave-chappelleNetflix has fired a leader of the trans employee resource group who was organizing the upcoming October 20th walkout. The employee, who is Black and currently pregnant, asked not to be named for fear of online harassment. They have been encouraging trans employees and allies to walk out of work in protest of Netflix’s handling of the Dave Chappelle special The Closer.

For what it’s worth, the reasoning is mentioned in the subtitle.If you doubt that interpretation, note that the identity politics stuff is presented to the reader before explaining why the person in question was fired.
You mean dirty nursery rhymes stop being funny after a bit?Dice Clay is a good example. He fell off the map not because he wasn't politically correct, but because he wasn't funny.
LIttle Boy Blue.. hey meeded the money . hooooooYou mean dirty nursery rhymes stop being funny after a bit?

Sandwiches????I haven't watched much of him, but his take on Juicy Smolliet was quite funny.
That dude got MANGLED by security. Guessing he’ll sue, which would be absolutely ridiculous, but really what isn’t ridiculous these days?
