    Alright, so the person seems to be called "Dave Chappelle" and here are some articles I've found: https://www.vox.com/culture/22738500/dave-chappelle-the-closer-daphne-dorman-trans-controversy-comedy

    https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/dave-chappelle-mocks-trans-people-new-netflix-special-rcna131765

    I'm not gonna bother with this specific format anymore just like with the "change my mind" one and I will change the title of the post to give more attention to this issue as the meme is very popular.

    There's origin of this meme format: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/yall-got-anymore-of-tyrone-biggums

      It's my first time hearning who this person even is and as for the second point I think you're taking the joke too seriously. Also, if you're going to call someone an transphobe then at least name and shame them and be informative about the topic instead being so pessimistic and shitting on the post when someone's uninformed. :/

      Great feedback which will allow me to improve with my future posts. Now I know why it's a bad post and what are good ways to avoid things like that. Thank you for pointing this out to me. :3
