You must come to a place of my choosing, at a time of my choosing. And thirdly, you must admit that Hannah Gadsby is not funny.”Trans Netflix employees and their allies gathered Wednesday in L.A. to protest Dave Chappelle’s new special.

Homophobe.

My daughter is transgender. She didn't have a choice, she has some very feminine features. Im a fan of Dave. I wasn't going to watch, transgender people have wicked lives and need not be further alienated. I will watch and go from there. It's all very sad.

It's comedy... It usually offensive🤷🏻‍♂️ they make fun of all people even you're sitting right there.... Loosen up

2 make sense: Those who meet have watched the film and he chooses the appointment time and location. But then he adds a joke as the third condition which probably isn’t helpful. (I haven’t seen it so I have no opinion on the film.) DaveChappelle

Dave Chappelle is the GOAT . Not everyone can get to his level.

But ...

I watched his special and it's just not funny, he probably uses those connotations bc he doesn't have anything funny to say..

I expect (foolishly) better journalistic craftsmanship from The Times. You say DS used transphobic and hateful terms. Are you sure? Isn’t that what the debate is about? How about you let readers decide how to characterize what he said. Be an unbiased transmitter of information.

Those complaining never watched his special. Probably saw a 1 min joke they didn’t like lol

I ain't!

Sensationalistic headline writing at its finest...stop creating drama by hiding behind 'well that is what he said...' He also said 100 other things in that speech that you could've cherry picked for this. Do better.

Wake up folks, it’s the whites that’s trying to cancel him because he’s releasing a George Floyd documentary. They’re using the lgbt community to hide their racism. Makes sense now

Lol. Can you cover what he said fully and accurately smh…. Sheesh

wow

Dave Chappelle says he'll meet with transgender critics, but he's 'not bending to anybody's demands'Weeks after his special 'The Closer' was criticized for its jokes aimed at transgender people, Dave Chappelle has addressed the controversy. Do they have a global leader? Seeing as you patronise them.. watch the special! CNN or have a mainly peaceful riot/tantrum! Don't forget 'cancel culture' is just modern twitter speak for 'people don't like you anymore'. There is no real cancel police coming for you, Dave. Everyone relax and go back to ignoring whatever hot-headed internet kids are venting about online. 💜 If people took issue with him they didn’t watch the special. They are only reading what’s on social media.
