He says,"I think it’s very important to the American culture generally to have free expression," going on to add --"We’re programming for a lot of diverse people who have different opinions and different tastes and different styles ... We want something for everybody but everything’s not going to be for everybody."
Sarandos went on to say the decision to back Dave actually wasn't difficult -- seeing how he's the comedian of our generation, and that he discusses the issue in a nuanced and thoughtful way. Of course, that's up for debate ... those offended might argue otherwise.In the wake of Chappelle getting tackled at the Hollywood Bowl, Netflix sent a memo to their staff -- basically saying, if you find some of our content so offensive, beat it.
You can tell Netflix is sticking to their guns on this issue -- not only have they allowed 'The Closer' to stay on their platform, but they've inked even more deals with Dave. And Sarandos even said the backlash over not censoring DC is oddly different than it once was. He says,"It used to be a very liberal issue, so it’s an interesting time that we live in ... I always said if we censor in the U.S., how are we going to defend our content in the Middle East?" BTW, these comments also apply to Gervais who caught flak for his own trans jokes.
RG was a lot more direct in his material -- both mocking"new women" and describing them as the"ones with beards and c***s." Likewise, he also explicitly said he supports trans rights.
Doubles down? Your so called journalism is lacking serious integrity with persuasive headline
Damn funny jokes as well!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank god there is enough smart people on this planet so we can enjoy a joke or two.
Good people need to learn how to laugh at themselves once in a while instead of being offended by every little fucking thing it's getting rediculous
honestly we have to start thinking to ourself what if that was you!? what would we want. that is where we need to start! ... jokes are from insecurities the ones that are secured do not need to pick on people who are the 1% they fear the TRUE STRENGTH no need to fear get educate
Ricky I've followed and loved everything you have done but the Supernature was seriously a low point the last 10 mins was hilarious it should have been like that all the way and would have been a delight
I support trans people and their transition but come on you gotta be able to laugh at yourself every now and then man
So u guys know it's a joke 😂
All these people saying they won't watch would never watch stand up to began with. Good humor will always be edgy, edgy stuff cuts some times.
They are just making jokes, not advocating for violence against trans people. I wish people would get a grip.
Hey if your want equal treatment you should expect equal treatment. Comedians make fun of everything so you should be happy there is inclusion and update with the times.
I don’t see what the big , I never really like the Camaro always thought it was a chick car unlike the Burt Reynolds Smokey and the bandit Trans am
God forbid .02% of the population may get offended!
Aids and monkey pox is from immoral sex. You people spread it! You try to tell kids it ok to be whatever and its ok to put your weenie in other mens butts and its ok to put a womans face in another woman's private parts! Disgusting!! Remember SODOM AND GOMMORA!!
ok! Let me set something straight (no pun intended). 🙂I dont really give a .......what sin you choose to live your life. You people deserve respect and rights like all of us (except getting married, because GOD SAID NO!!!) BUT DO NOT PUT your BS on us!!!
Notice it says “jokes”! Grow tf up
Freedom of speech
There’s no such thing as transgender. You cannot change genders. No more left wing lies!
I hope so. They’re jokes. If you’re offended by them, don’t watch. I hate how trans people think the world has to be forced to like them. And if anything the fact they’re so easily intimidated by comedy makes me like them less as a group
If the whole world is laughing , and less than 1% of the world isn’t , it’s clear there is validity in what they are laughing about
Good. Nobody should be immune to scrutiny or being in the spotlight. All Ricky did was repeat verbatim what trans rights extremists say to women. If people were more outraged over the words when they’re said by these people then we wouldn’t be in this mess sexnotgender
Netflix...very disappointed in your humor selection. I won't be watching.
So glad when your little 15 mins of fame runs out
EVERYBODY can get it INCLUDING the very loud, judgemental, negative and conflict inciting LGBTLMOPQRS community. EVERYBODY! That’s fcking comedy you hypocritical cry babies!
Comedians go after sacred cows is this news to you?
Did people forget what comedy is about?! So much whining...😒😒
That CEO is a true leader.
Big deal with the trans joke. Who cares? You do realize 99% of the people know it’s a joke right? Only the stupid 1% and the media who likes to make a big deal about anything just to be seen and heard.
Oh, Ricky, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Ricky.
Most normal people aren’t offended by jokes, if you don’t like a persons joke turn the fkin tv Chanel over
Way to go Netflix! Finally some are using common sense and bucking this pc culture
Pretty sure he’s a comedian and makes fun of everyone. Nothing to see here
TMZ wants to squash freedom. Hmmm…
REAL trans folk couldn’t give a fuck they are just living as they should be UNBOTHERED 👏🏾👌🏾
Nobody has the right to tell comedians what they can and cannot make jokes about. If you don’t like their style of comedy - don’t watch it. Simple.
I canceled my Netflix account ages ago its so full of racist sexist content its truly disgusting! 😔 shame on them
comedians make jokes about EVERYONE. what makes one specific groups feelings more important than everyone elses? there are comedians that take the piss out trans people, there are comedians who take the piss out of white people, gay people, black people, indian people etc.
So what? Freedom of speach !
If you can make jokes about fat people then what is the difference sometimes people are just to sensitive
This is what happens when a society led by emotions gets their feelings hurt. They make fun of everyone, if you’re seeking equality whilst also trying to get special treatment because of your feelings then you’re not looking for equality at all……….
Part of being accepted in this world is also being capable of being made fun of. What so you are trans we can't rip on you? That's homophobic
You'll type anything for clicks.
Its comedy & it includes everyone. If you dont like it dont watch it, doesnt mean someone should be cancelled because of it. In years to come we wont be allowed to say hello to people as that will offend some 🙄 Chill out, move on, enjoy life, people are different, get over it.
these replies sound like people who follow TMZ. refusing to believe that everything doesn't exist in a vacuum.
why don't they just learn how to be funny? Chapelle used to be. I believe he can do it again
You can respect trans people and still laugh at them. Be honest! It’s a funny topic!
Get your 🦷 into this 1 rickygervais
You want to be part of the 'tribe' you get to be included in the comedy. You're not special, well . . .
Good
If a gay comedian did this to straight people no one will say shit
'We just want to be seen as the gender we identify as, and to have lass protrcting us. And to have speech laws protecting us. Oh, and if you say anything negative about us, you will be banned from being able to speak up unless it's an apology. We don't want much.'
It’s dumb to say you can’t joke about one group of people but you can about everyone else. I’d advice you just to not go to any stand up ever lol
let’s not be too sensitive. it’s comedy, they make a joke out of straight, gay, bi, trans, midgets, etc… stoppppp itttttt. let’s be more sensitive about 18 year old carrying AR15’s like a toy.
you can’t be offended just don’t watch it they all make funny of everyone and everything
No one is exempt from comedy!
No one makes you watch! If you don’t like what someone says then walk away. This is humor and if you can’t find humor in yourself then you are the issue. I say keep up the jokes. Hell make fun of me if you want. I dont give a shit. If you can’t take a joke then dont listen
When you go to a comedy club there are no rules on the jokes. It's all meant to be funny. Comedians make fun of everyone. So pull the panties out your butthole. Your tasting your underwear now. Stop it already.
Comedy is comedy! Something that might offend you is funny to someone else and vise versa. Thats comedy. Foh
Rick G and Dave C are equal opportunity offenders.
People need to learn not to take everything personally and understand the humour in all things, everyone is so self entitled and soft.
Ricky talked sense yet you over sensitives gotta ruin fun
Freedom of speech, right? I mean...fags like the Uvalde killer can kill innocent children with an AR15 and Texas politicians still carry on with an NRA convention with a former US President so this shit is not news. Sorry TMZ. Go cover your girl Heard who kinda needs you rn.
It’s called a sense of humor… you should get one
This isn’t news. Comedians are allowed to make jokes like this. Cause it’s what they do, they are comedians. They bring joy and laughter to the world. Not making fun of trans would be comedians not treating them like normal human beings, and they are. So it’s fair game.
Keep em coming Dave..
Cmon guys it's 2022..................pls keep making fun of them
Don’t know why y’all kick up such a fuss… once you choose to depart from the norm you should develop a thick skin because not everyone will be nice or even accepting.. people have been laughing at fat people for centuries, have we died!!
Chappelle jokes about everything it’s not that serious
Ppl way too soft and “woke” it’s just a joke
Why would anyone ridicule already vulnerable group of people!!
To the snowflakes that take offence to Dave's trans jokes I'll say stop being sooks and deal with it
You can hate the joke. You can boo the comedian but stop trying to get them fired. No one liked the King after he cut the fool's head off.
Is there anything new worth watching? I was scrolling last night. Started watching Stranger Things 4. Netflix Any decent sci-fi?
Dear Stop ruining comedy for everyone. Signed, Everyone.
Are people being forced to watch these people. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone has to be offended.
Live Netflix, got me through the pandemic. Hope they do stop catering mainly to the silly left, please at least offer some good, balanced programming. We should all be able to laugh at each other and enjoy content made for a more diverse viewing audience.
comics pick on everyone black, white, poor, rich, fat skinny. grow a pair ffs
I'm ok with all that...people got to learn to laugh at themselves....
I fully support trans people. These are jokes. And made light heartedly. I get these people have been disenfranchise, but that’s not what these comedians were doing if you actually listen and watch the specials. Netflix is in the right.
Only trans are joke phobic. They should get over themselves
As a gay man I'll say this. A joke is a joke. If you're offended don't watch the comedians you know tell those types of jokes. I'm so over all this so sensitive to everything bullshit
Don’t watch it if you’re going to bitch and whine
Did anyone watch his special geez
Umm, AllJokesMatter
Hopefully, all jokes will continue. Stop stirring shit, TMZ.
Give the PC BS a rest!!!
If you're offended by it don't watch it then and stop ruining comedy for everyone that enjoys it.
Wise words from Kendrick 🤷🏽♂️
Good.
Yeah, comedy is kinda important. Even the mean stuff. It is a way to expand our right to freely speak and express. People thinking they can police comedy? That’s a historically bad thing. We really don’t want to be in a society that chooses what is and isn’t funny for us.
They’re jokes! Lots of us laugh! Get over yourselves! 😂
Here’s a thought. Don’t watch 🤷🏽♀️
Jokes man, they're jokes by comedians. Get over it. Quit getting your panties or boxers in a bunch, whichever you prefer.
It’s just jokes.
Good.
netflix this probably has more to do with why you are losing subscribers than anything else!
