Yea he's clever in saying the a lot of wisdom through his jokesNot yet but I will. He’s the best. Nothing is off limits to him and he’s full of common sense, logic, and facts. That’s why he’s so funny. You listen to him and are like “that’s hilarious because it’s so true and makes perfect sense!”
Of course he is. In this day and age his jokes are “offensive” to a certain segment of society. But he doesn’t care. He’s making so much money for Netflix neither do they.Yea he's clever in saying the a lot of wisdom through his jokes
He seems to be getting some backlash from what I seen online
yea hes making top dollarOf course he is. In this day and age his jokes are “offensive” to a certain segment of society. But he doesn’t care. He’s making so much money for Netflix neither do they.
Is this comment serious or poking fun?When I first heard about the controversy I was curious what he'd done. Sometimes comedy is funny precisely because it pushes the boundaries. Nothing should be sacred.
Chappelle: "TERF? I don't even know what that means. Trans people make up words to win arguments".
It's kind of chilling. Not even attempting to make a joke, just an ignorant man parading his ignorance and encouraging others to join in. TERF = trans exclusionary radical feminist ie feminists with a lot of critical things to say about sex & gender but who don't include trans women as "real women".
If you're going to criticise one side in a debate, at least make the effort to learn what the frog you're talking about...
This matters because there are important issues here about rights eg trans women's right to live as normal women or women's right to be safe from abusive males. There is a huge amount of confusion about "biology" and blind prejudice to wade through to get at the truth and people on all sides are often on a very short and angry fuse. Chappelle isn't helping.
Good point. I should have said nothing. Since I had nothing worth saying.Things tend to get out of hand with topics like this. As long as discourse is civil and remains politics free, which is admittedly difficult given the topic, we can discuss.

Pointing this out will get you labeled a TERF. As will will questioning whether transgender females should be allowed to compete in women's sport.
