It's well documented and understood and God damn it would be great if we could actually do something about it. But it's a different conversation than celebrities and rich people using their platforms to cause harm with seeming impunity. Which is why it's frustrating when celebrities and rich people conflate these issues to distract from their own harmful activities.

In this case it's not a different conversation because the chain of events that lead to it is directly related to whatever controversy Dave has generated with the last few specials...

The irony here is honestly pretty funny.

Actually it tastes like chicken.

There was a recent story about a Netflix employee who got 'suspended for critizing their decision to platform Dave Chappelle's latest special'. She was recently reinstated.

Of course, the headlines were misleading, she apparently got suspended for walking into a director level meeting and disrupting it, but the media sensationalized it.

Just figured I'd mention it because it's one of those few stories where everyone involved wins. She won because she brought attention to her beliefs and her cause. Chappelle won because it brought more attention to his special, and Netflix won because they look like good level-headed employers.

That's not a tasteless joke. He's insulting trans people a whole. There's no subtext or irony. It's hate speech.

Damn they actually banned him? lol

SGR 10-14-2021 08:57 PM

Did he post something else that I missed? Or was it for that comment that Batlord referred to?

Frownland 10-14-2021 09:22 PM

He got a week off for a deleted comment that was a continuation of the first.

I'll leave you all to your narrative weaving now.

****ing good. Whether or not he's an actual cryptofascist or just toys with the idea for fun and games he tows the line far too often to be anything but a piece of ****. Just because he's generally friendly doesn't change the fact that the only thing he ever amounts to is far right propaganda.

I mean I like to give jwb **** but I legit think he engages in discussion in good faith. Anteater does not.
