▲ 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.
[–] theKalash@feddit.ch -1 points 2 years ago* Could you give some context? I’m definitely not going to watch it based on just a “take my word for it” argument Are you actually asking someone else to provide you with a reason to watch the thing you're pretending to have an opinion about? permalink fedilink source parent
