I don't think he made himself out to be a martyr. If he was doing press tours on the threat to comedy in a serious tone, that would fit. Instead he did what a comedian does and worked it into his act. Social commentary has always been part of comedy and usually, if a comedian addresses their own controversies directly on stage, this is seen as an appropriate response.

when I hear it in someone's act now it's an eyeroll, it's whiny

Sorry to hear that.
And sorry that you edited bitchy to whiny |

I don't think I painted him as a martyr either. I do love how you can't get over me liking the special despite your disapproval.

When did I paint him as a martyr? He's a triumphant champion, not a martyr.

Jacking off to him totes pwning the PC bogeyman that you already had a hate boner for has the air of championing him as a martyr for the harsh and traumatic criticism he got from those meanie critics.

Maybe you don't know what a martyr is
When someone attacks you and you attack them back and pwn them, you're not a martyr You're only a martyr when you fall on your sword for your cause My whole point about Chappelle from the beginning is that he has ****-you money which allows him to cross lines with relative impunity, where other comics wouldn't able to. This gives him more freedom. Beyond that, your understanding of what I like about the special is simplistic to say the least... I don't like it just cause he "pwned" his PC critics. I like the way he played with the common narrative and kept straddling both sides as to keep you guessing, and above all I liked single funny lines with a good delivery. |
