“I guess apparently they had made a pledge to the public at large that they would make their club a safe space for all people, and that they would ban anything they deemed transphobic,” Chappelle reacted on his “The Midnight Miracle” podcast at the time. “This is a wild stance for an artistic venue to take, especially one that’s historically a punk rock venue.”

This guy doesn't understand any subculture, does he? The punks are, historically, very anti-fascist, and the ones I know are also some of the strongest queer allies I've ever met. And this guy is surprised that they didn't want his bigotry masquerading as humour.

If he did one special about a trans joke and apologized I'd feel different. He did 4 specials bashing trans people. Now this rat fuck is trying to "redeem" himself. He can go fuck himself. Just another rat fleeing the sinking ship. Don't forget he bought out elon musk and everyone booed him.

That is absolutely what you were doing, you bigoted fuck bag. Don’t blame Republicans for laughing at your horribly bigoted jokes.

You engineered them specifically so that your bigoted fans would laugh at them, you piece of shit. Then you played the race card to try to get out of it, and it didn’t work because your bigoted piece of shit fans didn’t like Black people either.

And since those are your only fans left, you are left with nothing, and that’s all you deserved. Nothing.

Remember when you prematurely ended your show because of some white guy laughing a little too hard at some of your racial humour in a way that you didn’t like? Well guess what Dave, that’s your fuckin audience now after you quadrupled down on your trans bullshit.

These are the people who you chose after you were politely asked to lay off the trans thing and you refused.

Too much of a disconnected rich guy now to give a shit what the poors think I guess.

Did the Saudi money already run out? You don’t get to cater to these jackals then claim innocence when they run with your jokes.

Let me guess he doesn't like Republicans because of their racism against himself specifically but he's totally down to hating other minorities all the same.

Newsflash: Queer rights are human rights, smart ass! We're in this together. Well, not you. You can eat shit, Dave.

well as a black man I say Dave is weaponizing being black. he's trying hard to deflect the Saudi money and avoiding responsibility for the trans jokes. If he made one show, just one where he would express being sorry for the enablement of aggression he provided, sure i would look at him at a different light. claiming that people are being hard on him for being black, kneega please

"I did, however, thoroughly enjoy the taste of Elon Musk's Nazi billionaire weiner in my mouth just before I brought him on stage at my show."

• Dave, probably

Right, he was "only" targeting transgender people for money. Way better. /s

Get bent, Dave. You became the thing you used to mock.

I've installed "Highlight This!" Firefox extension and added all the comedians that went to Saudi Arabia there. Now whenever one of them pops out on any site I know to just ignore it.

This fucking quote

Everything seems absolute, and any opinion I respect is way more nuanced than these binary choices they keep putting in front of us. I don’t see the world in red or blue.”

He just doesn't get it

That's not what he thought he was doing, but it's absolutely what he was doing.

He stopped making money on the trans-bashing & now has to backpedal for a better paycheck.

Dave Chappelle the older he's gotten, the more he's punched down. It's not like he wasn't doing that when he was younger, he just got worse and worse over time. Then he tried to be one of the good ol' boys and just wasn't rich or influential enough to fit in and now he wants to pretend he isn't a crappy person deep down. It's a bit hard to make it far in entertainment if you aren't pretty self-centered and opportunistic. He just unmasked to the crowd that weren't his audience and now he wants back in with the younger crowd again

Even if that was true, it's not, he'd still be a NIMBY piece of shit.

Hey Dave, what did the five fingers say to the face?

I used to like him somewhat. But I put on one of those Netflix specials with him and tuned out around 10-15 minutes in because he was just unfunny and hateful. Same with the British bloke, who's name I forgot. He was pretty based when he called out the actors being friends with Epstein during the Oscars but the latest gig was just "haha, girl with a cock, hahahaha lol, man with tits". It's just not funny. If you make jokes about minorities, at least have them be funny and not hurtful. It can be done, just not like this.

Backpedal much, David?

Now that the powers are slipping, assholes like this are going to do a bunch of "it totally wasnt me" activity.

Does Dave Chappelle know he is a dick?

Fuck you Dave Chappelle.

FUCK YOU.

Desperately rewriting history after not wanting to play conservative crowds anymore. Fuck off Dave. If he apologized and changed I MIGHT hear him out, but all he is doing now is shifting blame.

Inhuman fuck. Take your fame and fortune and go fuck off in a castle with jk Rowling.

Garbage. Fucking. Human.

If you can target marginalized humans, MAKE FAME AND FORTUNE OFF OF THAT, you can target any human. You're no better than any other bigot or racist. You showed your colors. Fuck right off.

I’m not even mad [people] take issue with my work. Good, fine. Who cares?

The classic words of somebody who deeply cares.

Yeah fuck that, if you lay down with pigs don’t get upset when you wake up covered in shit.

He punches down at every opportunity, he's a perfect right wing comedian because that's all they do too.

Sounds like someone's having a little bit of buyer's remorse, huh? This is why you never drink the Kool-Aid
