he made one faux paus about trans in 2017 and then he got enough heat over it that he spitefully did another trans bit in his next special. Neither of which were that bad.

Fact is "I used to love chappelle but then he said something about trans" = I was completely on board with the anti PC edgy schtick when it didn't conflict with my politics but now that you're saying something I disagree with, shock value humor is suddenly lazy and artistically void of merit

As if chappelle show wasn't just the shock value humor of 20 years ago.

Never thought of it like that. Sure is a thinker. Overthinking jokes is for cucks though so off brain go.

Nice straw man. Coward.

Come on man it's just a joke I said with the intent of making you think, why are you thinking about what I'm saying?

The joke was you rephrasing what I said as something not even remotely close to what I said so you could have a snarky response to a point that you invented

Color me unimpressed.

Nah man you just don't get true comedy.

Did he do that real clever thing where he writes in a fake quote for you? That’s so clever. How do people think that **** up?
