Dave Chappelle's lawyer says the comedian is unhappy with Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón's decision not to file felony charges against the man who allegedly attacked him on stage.
It's all guesswork, the attacker hasn't said anything about his motives so far. Assuming this was in retalliation to Chapelle's constant transphobia is just that, an assumption. Note that Chapelle's immediate reaction to getting tackled was labeling the attacker as a trans man in spite of not knowing anything about him. I love to see that a transphobe gets ... well, at least mildly inconvenienced for once, but let's keep in mind that transphobes are just shitty people in general and may get punched for other things than their transphobia. I have yet to see evidence for a credible threat to these assholes, for a "cancel culture" that goes "too far". For the time being, even though i'd love to be proven wrong on this one, i'll continue to assume that there is, in fact, no such thing as a leftist cancel culture posing a threat to TERFs and other reactionaries, but that this "cancel culture", at least in that form, only exists in the chuds' self-victimizing imagination.
