And even more things can also be true

Like the fact that despite claiming to care about trans lives, people will bully a trans person relentlessly till they kill themself if they say something that is interpreted as going against the cause

And you will sit here and act like his (assumed) motivations for bringing up said dead trans girl are somehow more important than her death and what lead up to it.. hmmmm i wonder why that is

Again, while Chappelle's antics raise some flags I'm not really following him so I can't really throw out any blanket condemnations. I'm more interested in your knee jerk defense of any comedian's good name, and throwing out tired right wing cliches about leftist hypocrisy is par the course for you with this ****.

Your response came across to me as knee jerk which is why i was just clarifying what i heard... Which is not to say nothing he did or said can be ridiculed but that it wasn't just i have a trans friend therefore I'm not transphobe... But people on both sides selectively care and don't care i think a lot of it is posturing.. Like why are people more concerned with Chappelle supposedly pulling the trans friend card than they are with the fact that maybe she was bullied into suicide... Seems like precisely the sort of thing people would usually be concerned about

Are most people even aware of his friend? I imagine him bringing it up is the first time most people are hearing about it and given the circumstances he's not exactly a reliable source. Besides, how do you suggest we self-police social media? We can't even police comedians.
