Wow fans have bias that's some amazing insight there professor Batlord we eagerly await your next breakthrough

He was actually playing the card of well if you wanna talk about trans people being bullied into suicide i got one for you... But of course in this case we shant take it serious cause it's just a transphobe playing the trans friend card right....

Obvious insight is obvious, yes. And?

Two things can be true at the same time. A transphobe can have a trans friend and your trans friend can be cyberbullied to suicide while you use their death to divert attention from your own travelogue.

Edit: I'm leaving that autocorrect in.

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

Chapelle making jokes about his dead trans friend is pretty wack.

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 ****.

I had a professor say once that people don't protest good art. This was in the context of Angels in America, but I think 90% of the reason he's taking so much heat is that this special sucked.

He called them "Alphabet people" in the last special and everyone called him the GOAT. He says "Twitter isn't a real place" in this special but I don't get the impression he believes it.

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

nah i have a hard time believing that's all it is... Tons of bad specials that don't draw any attention. It's explicitly political and was designed and marketed as such which is where all the attention comes from.
