Dave Chapelle who is probably the biggest comic out there, mainstream, Kennedy Center Award winner and etc., and a very wise man decided to blast the woke culture and chose to say among many unacceptable things that trans women aren’t women.
This was all in his recent special The Closer.
Standup comedians are under scrutiny for saying things that make people unhappy and uncomfortable, so what else is new about that? What’s new about it is that now social justice warriors are attempting to close them down. The lesser gods of comedy make money off their social media presence.
Chappelle is bigger than that, so he can take on politically incorrect ideas and discuss them with honesty and humor.He is just a guy, not a beacon of evil. He doesn’t need Twitter and etc. to line his pocket.
Damian Williams said about Chapelle “I feel like he’s freed the slaves. “
The reason why this is in my sphere of interest (while also, unfortunately, being one of the 5 stories of the day that media wants us to consume) is because I listen to Joe Rogan podcasts and Rogan talks a lot about the state of comedy in today’s world. He also goes on tour with Chapelle.
