Idk, kinda unfair to just post excerpts, his sets are stories with a point.

What sort of non-bigoted story do you think capable of containing all those particular posted punchlines?

I mean I've watched them. It's not that bad

Do you think trans people think those jokes are not that bad?

It seems more like you don't care that they're hurtful.

Chappelle makes fun of everyone, sounds like you're just mad because this time it was about you.

I'm not trans and I'm not sure why you think "he makes fun of everyone" is an excuse to say hurtful things.

I watched The Closer. It is in fact that bad. I'm not giving him the time for anything else

Idk why that's the argument his defenders make, that we wouldn't criticize it if we watched it. Maybe you're skinnermeming yourself. "I can't be wrong it's the trans supporters that are wrong!"

Especially when the people who watched it criticized it.

Of course, some people posting refuse to even believe that.

That was... The point though? He thinks trans women aren't women. That was like a full third of the show's transcript, and I even left some off

So what do you view as the point of saying all these things or the point of the show itself?

I guess the point was about the one token trans person he deemed worthy of his respect (who killed herself, probably unrelated) bc she was totally fine with him making fun of her identity so that makes it ok to just dead gender her after talking about how he pretty much bullied her and she took it bc of his position in the industry so that makes it ok to just degrade whole group of people

Or something

Go off though if you wanna defend transphobia I guess
