▲ 393 ▼ Dave Chappelle fills Netflix special with jokes about trans and disabled people (www.independent.co.uk) submitted 2 years ago by MicroWave@lemmy.world to c/news@lemmy.world 514 comments fedilink hide all child comments Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people. “I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December). It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer. That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show. He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.
[–] vxx@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I gave him some context above and he's full of shit. The new program is very transphobic and not just mildly. Here's the complete transcript of the show https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/comedy/dave-chappelle-the-dreamer-transcript/ It's awful and not even remotely funny, just offensive. I think he lost his marbles and drank too much conservative koolaid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] LotrOrc@lemmy.world -16 points 2 years ago (1 child) You're wild he's hardly conservative Did you watch it or just read it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vxx@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I didn't say he is conservative, just that he drank their koolaid. He's mirroring their talking points and rethoric, pandering to the Conservative crowd, and not in a sarcastic way at all. What do you mean by "just read it".
