its standup comedian vs a very persistant hecklerHe still a genius and I don't use that word lightly
We got it. Ain't nobody backing off or changing their minds or finding a middle ground.
I do wish all parties involved would move the f**k on

because I perceive the outrage to be performativeAt this point its just not funny so what is it for? And its not worth the headache from BOTH sides.
I'm tired of of the noise.
Its not funny or going to illicit change or conversation.
so if it isn't entertaining or helpful
why they all continue to engage?

-the jokes are funny
so I remain entertained
for example - any comedian that can claim Chappelle jokes weren't funny... is performing not opining
Just because you or I say they funny don't mean they "funny" PERIOD
All comedy is subjective first and for most.
they are funny for YOU so you are entertained
good
I think the trans jokes BECAUSE of everything attached and the repetition of the subject matter have made them not funny.
for ME and apparently a whole lot of his actual fans.
Its not going to make me NOT listen to him. I don't think it is mean spirited or based in any hatred
I personally don't want to hear that sh*t any more and its not funny to me.
Now if he continues? Yeah it would effect me following his work like it would for ANY artist.

I respectfully beg to differ.
Dave is saying what a lot of us say privately, or anonymously (like on a porn forum): trans women are men who undergo surgery.
They are not women. Period. No pun intended.
I am glad he refuses to make apologies for telling the truth, despite dubious claims of bigotry.
"In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act"- attributed to George Orwell.
Apologize?I never said anything you wrote was incorrect.
Show where I said he was wrong or should apologize?
I'm tired of hearing about this from all sides.
We differ because your not.
