Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.
“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).
It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.
That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.
He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.
There’s a very politically incorrect comedian I follow. There’s one key difference however: he isn’t an asshole.
And why is Chapelle an asshole? The transgender person above is crying because everything is either black or white and make everything about them, and this constant woke persecution is just exhausting. But I guess that is the norm with Lemmy, everything that you say that is not left wing is immediatly downvoted, lmao
Alternatively, you could have just also said: “Why don’t you let us joke about you being disgusting freaks in peace?”, but I doubt you have the self-awareness.
Not “disgusting freaks” but freaks for sure. That’s a big reason why this whole thing keeps being a problem because a lot of people have big trouble coping with freaks. I don’t think trying to reprogram them to not think these people are freaks is the answer; the answer is providing them with higher coping capabilities.
Like myself, I can cope with all kinds of freaks due to being around some and perhaps myself being a bit of one, and will happily give or let them have all the same human rights everyone else has. I might even think they’re great people. Doesn’t make me stop thinking they’re freaks though.
Embrace your freak.
Save us the displeasure of having to deal with your presence.
