There's absolutely no shortage of this but sure, his mediocre special is important.
examples?

If you didn't laugh at his Chinese face you honestly have no soul tbh

Ranked from highest to lowest quality: Norm MacDonald, Stanhope, Daniel Tosh, that English dude with racy zingers, Joe Rogan and Sam Hyde

Really?

Sam Hyde is a fringe example who's show was cancelled over this sort of horse ****. And he's not even a big name in stand up.

And I don't watch Rogan's stand up cause I don't like his delivery but what I have seen isn't any where near as edgy as Dave.

Yes, all of those people are in the same brand of comedy as Chappelle.

eh it goes back to Lenny Bruce but the definition of what is PC changes.

I'm not saying it's a new angle. I'm saying it's an important angle that has always existed and right now Dave is the modern day champion.

It's important for those of us who enjoy it. We don't want our toys taken away. Go piss on some other parade you malcontent.

Comedy has historically been a home for a lot of free speech issues and discussions of what is and isn't taboo, so it makes sense in a way. It's oft overstated though, like how people thinking that protesting Chik-fil-a puts them on the same level as civil rights protesters in the 60s.

It was Louis before he died and he was actually funny.

I'm not saying it's important for you. I'm saying it's important for people who enjoy edgy comedy.
