This sucks...
Why are people surprised? Chappelle has always been a piece of shit and I'm sick of people pretending his isn't
his target audience has always been racist white people since forever
I thought there was a whole arc where he learned this and decided to retire, and now he's back cause I guess he figured he could pander to transphobes of all races or something cause at least "that doesn't affect him".
turnz out a bigot stil a bigot hmm wundr ef stalin figurd out a way 2 deel w/ asshols lik tht
lmao
Sorry, it's just the use of a chud comedian's shit take in 2021 to talk about how Lenin in 1921 may have been more progressive than Stalin in 1941 sounds like the kind of bad bit a 2031 comedian is going to end up using.
Brooke! Haven't seen you around in a little while! Glad to see you! :stalin-heart:
No we had that already remember? There were five brothers. They did vaudeville. It was a whole thing.
Yeah we're primed to have another generation of boomers in X once the real boomers die off which I am not looking forward to.
It's called class interest and if you think millennials and zoomers are immune to it, I have an NFT of a bridge to sell you
I recently mentioned that lazyboy chairs give me lower back pain, which seems like the most old guy problem possible.
entire research center in Weimar Germany dedicated to sexuality and gender identity that was burned down by the nazis
:desolate:
It could be a decent bit to ask him what made him a Radical Feminist, what Radical Feminist projects and policies he's supporting, if his radicalness is deeply historical and intersectional, et cetera, just completely ignoring the TE part
"I'm a radical feminist cause I like tiddies! I'm radically in support of all my baby mammas. Nobody loves women more than I do, cause I can pay to have a dozen of them come over and love me at the same time. Now let me reprise the old Chris Rock sketch where explain the difference between Feminists and Bitches."
$10M a show for that high quality comedy.
'having a daughter made me somewhat aware that women are people! My daughter and wife are people and so is my mom. Other women who I'm not related to aren't, but I've learned that some are!'
:yikes-1::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-3:
I was expecting some transphobic stuff but holy fuck there was a lot more yikes shit than just that in there.
Remember when comedians did comedy sets and didn't try to Have Very Important Opinions with every fucking special?
Half of these Netflix standup specials, including Chapelle's, are just right wing Ted Talks.
Same. My least favorite thing about standup comedy used to be the "applaud now" moments like saying they just had a kid or whatever, but at least those were short. Now if a comedian goes on a screed it's at least ten minutes of their set that's going to be completely unwatchable, even if I agree with them.
They saw it work for Carlin without realizing why it worked for Carlin.
Dave Chappelle Says He’s a TERF, Stops LGBTQ Jokes in Netflix’s ‘The Closer’
Netflix
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Dave Chappelle gave up The closest, his ninth stand-up special overall (and sixth for Netflix). The hour-long ensemble was recorded at the Fillmore in Detroit, Michigan, in August of this year.
“Everyone has a seat, be comfortable, relax. I have to tell you … let’s go, let’s go», Says Chappelle, dressed in a perfectly groomed suit and white sneakers, to the noisy crowd at the start.
The 48-year-old comedy legend then adds, “I need you to know something, and I’m going to tell you the truth, and don’t panic: this will be my last special for a minute,” later explaining that The closest will complete its “body of work” for the streaming giant.
Once the applause has died down, Chappelle takes the plunge, tackling the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and his own battle with the deadly virus after contracting it in January.
“I don’t want you to worry about me. I am vaccinated. I received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. I have to admit, this is probably the most n —– ish decision I’ve made in a long time. I walked into the doc like, ‘Give me the third best option! I will have what the homeless have! ‘ So far, so good!”
“I don’t know if you heard on the news: I made contracting the coronavirus – and that was something else, ”he continues. “I felt dirty. I felt disgusting. Because I was walking around Texas just touching doorknobs and shit, my hands all wet, tipping n —- s with money. Here, bring this to your family. I must have killed thousands of people just trying to put on the show tonight so I hope you enjoy it.
Chappelle further admits that he “did not get sick at all” from contracting COVID, calling himself “the Magic Johnson of the coronavirus,” but that he was stressed out watching so many videos of blacks beating Asians in the streets during the pandemic – before I cracked up, “I couldn’t help but think that when I saw these brothers beat up these Asians, that’s probably what’s going on inside my body . “
During The closest, which was directed by Emmy winner Stan Lathan, who has shot all of Chappelle’s specials on Netflix, the comic addresses issues of racism, discrimination, sexuality and gender identity, often found in oppose the struggle for the liberation of blacks to LGBTQ and feminist movements, as it has done on several occasions in the past.
Address “the LBGTQ [sic] community directly, “Chappelle says he comes in peace while wishing to” negotiate the release of DaBaby “- the chart-topping rapper who made homophobic comments during his set at Miami’s Rolling Loud festival in July – before d ‘expressing how jealous he is at the progress the LGBTQ community is making in relation to blacks, and recounting the time a gay white man called the police in Austin, Texas, after Chappelle confronted the man about filming him and his wife in a bar.
He then awkwardly follows a disturbing story about a supposed incident where he says he beat a butch lesbian woman for throwing a punch at her (the woman later, he claims, tried to sell the story to TMZ): ” I’m glad TMZ didn’t believe it – because I beat her, I’m not going to lie. It was his fault. I had no choice. “
There’s more, of course, including Chappelle weighing in on the “edgy as shit” (his words) ways white Hollywood women have handled the #MeToo movement, arguing that it somehow fell to the hands of the victims of Weinstein’s A-List to protect those under them on the call sheet for his abuse, and how the transgender community ‘wants me to die’ for their habit of making transphobic jokes, offering as evidence a few times angry transgender people or allies confronted him because of these jokes.
“Those of you who have watched me know that I have never had a problem with transgender people. If you listen to what I’m saying, clearly my problem has always been with white people, ”he argues.
Chappelle then tries to convince the audience – in the crowd and at home – that he has never made any explicitly anti-transgender jokes, asking the audience to “go back” and review his specials. (He most certainly did, and you can read great transgender writer Samantha Allen about it here.) He defends JK Rowling from being “canceled” for his transphobic remarks (which he deeply misrepresents), before saying : “I’m the TERF team!” – the term for radical trans-exclusionist feminists, or feminists who are transphobic and don’t believe trans women are women.
“Gender is a fact,” he argues. “Every human in this room, every human being on Earth, had to go through a woman’s legs to be on Earth. It’s a fact. Now, I’m not saying that to say that trans women aren’t women, I’m just saying those pussies that they have… you know what I mean? I’m not saying it’s not pussy, but it’s Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. It tastes like pussy, but it’s not quite it, is it? It’s not blood, it’s beet juice. (Chappelle’s anti-trans jokes often boil down to human anatomy, which shows how blunt his opinions are on the subject.)
He later tries to qualify this material by telling a story about Daphne Dorman, a white transgender woman who liked her trans jokes and who Chappelle befriended before committing suicide in October 2019, shortly after she was killed. he shouted it. in his Netflix special Sticks & Stones. Chappelle reveals that he started a trust fund to pay for Daphne’s daughter’s college education and that he won’t make any more LGBTQ jokes “until we both are sure to laugh together.” I’m telling you, it’s done. I’m done talking about it. All I ask of your community, in all humility: please stop hitting my people.”
Here, Chappelle is referring to the black men he has previously cited in The closest—DaBaby, Kevin Hart and himself — who have been, in his eyes, victimized (translation: missed some job opportunities, yet still very rich and popular) by the LGBTQ community for telling transphobic and homophobic jokes, or made homophobic comments, and initially refusing to apologize for them.
With that, he threw up the microphone, drank to the applause and walked off the stage.
This entire thing is a "what the actual fuck" moment. There's anti Asian racism, transphobia, generalised bigotry, just the whole lot
It's just a sign of how much progress has been made in the last decade. Chapelle didn't decide to be this way, he always was and never adapted with the times when society said this wasn't cool anymore. He'll fade into irrelevance like every other bigoted moronic male comedian, and that will be that.
I mean I knew that he's always been kinda like this, with the "edgy comedy" and all, which is why I haven't watched his comedy specials. I didn't know that it was quite this bad though.
“I couldn’t help but think that when I saw these brothers beat up these Asians, that’s probably what’s going on inside my body . “
:wut:
also like...isnt his wife asian and aren't his kids half asian....? like i hope he's supporting them because.....
oh yeah im sure / have seen it in my friend's families. especially that white republican dad east asian immigrant mom mix
I think he's trying to say that bc of chyneese virus, he imagined the viruses to have little Xi faces and then his immune response did a hatecrime on them. Or it could be any of the explanations you came up with. There's so much to unpack that it's impossible to tell.
love too compare an ethnicity of people to a deadly pathogen, fucking nazi holocaust shit
“I couldn’t help but think that when I saw these brothers beat up these Asians, that’s probably what’s going on inside my body . “
fuck this guy, he's dead to me
It's fucking incredible the victim complex these rich shitheads get.
You have MILLIONS. More money than most the people on this site will see, combined. And because some people had the "audacity" to criticize something you said you feel so defensive you have to make yourself the victim?
Just fuck off already. They always talk about how they hate being famous and hate being noticed. Just fuck off then and people will forget you.
Not enough to just be rich. Lots of people are rich, particularly people you're surrounded by. Lots of them are richer than you.
But your job is to be popular. Wildly popular. You need a slavishly loyal cult following that's going to throw a thousand dollars out the door to do parasocial relationship shit from the front row of your next live appearance. You need people willing to spend a million dollars on your line of Funko Pop dolls. You need people who will stare doe-eyed at you from the back of the club and beg you for the privilege of sucking your knob. Otherwise, what's the fucking point of touring?
They always talk about how they hate being famous and hate being noticed.
They hate feeling anxious but they love feeling adored. Criticism is the anxiousness without the adoration.

I've read this sentence over and over and I still don't understand it.
My bad, it was paywalled at the Daily Beast so this was the alternative version.
the only good comedians are those that died while cool
Carlin was based as fuck. And even with his annoying "muh politically correct" stuff he still dunked on edgy comedians who pick on the marginalized.
I wonder if he was aware of how leftist his views were. In that first clip he almost seems to take offense at being called Karl Marx, but the guy isn't wrong, he sounds like someone who posts here lol.
