We get it, you're transphobic. And Dave validated your feelings. We get it.

[@dblock20]

I find it funny that people call the lgbt community a hive mind when Dave fans do the exact same thing but worse. This didn't bring any community together and it wasn't suppose to. The special wasn't even that funny and it completely ignores trans black people. Maybe instead of them listening to a loud minority of people, take quotes from what many of the LGBT community is talking about. Honestly Daphne felt like "I have a black friend so I can't be racist"

In the West, that applies to Corporate interests. The bootleg-women community is a diamond mine for Capitalism (KZbin censors the T word for me even in its respectable form lmao). Market estimates put the cost of surgery alone per-person at $150k and upwards, and that doesn't include into the equation: lifetimes meds, lifetime hormone pills, corrective procedures, repeat surgery, painkillers for dil., antidepressants, and then you also have the fashion, makeup, and wig industries. That's an industry to exploit by pharma/clinics/fashion/makeup/wig sectors, which is well in excess of $200 Billion annually if we go by the number that there's 1.4 million people in this community and even more. That's more than the movie industry. Corporations are going all in to not only market and support such a diamond mine, but also find ways to force people who don't necessarily have a gender problem, but have other mental problems that make them malleable into being easily convinced and pushed into the community to exploit and commodify even more people. The final touch here is Capitalists getting Socialists who support the bootleg-women community to force the state government to take money from taxpayers and put it into welfare funds so even those who can't afford surgeries and meds can easily get them, and that means Corporations like Pharma now getting 100% assured monetary flow from taxpayers via State, enabled and fueled by Socialists themselves ironically, making for a harmonic cooperation between Socialism and Capitalism which is just pure brilliance.

Exactly. Equality is making fun of everyone without having to censor oneself. If Black people, Jews, women, Muslims and disabled people can all be made fun of, but trans people can’t, that’s not equality.

What we’re seeing now is too many people taking their lgbtq identity too serious, so any mention of the “community” is considered VIOLENCE.

Hey I'm a trans man and I actually got pretty emotional by Dave Chappelle's special, not because of the jokes ofc but because of his tribute to his trans friend daphne. That part of the special really hit me because even though I knew the mob could be like this, it broke my heart to know they may have harrassed a person from their own community to take her own life. People don't usually realize this but comedy is one of the greatest ways to spread awareness and I think that is more what dave did in this special. People also don't realize that not all trans people are the same just like Dave said "not all trans people support cancel culture". People need to start accepting that trans people are not monoliths and that includes the community itself too. And I think dave knows that and supports that idea :)

Virtue signaling in a nutshell. It was popularized with Kony in 2012, marking the beginning of the end. I think it is a result of the global communication pipeline opening up a lot more information about the "outside world" to those trapped in their country's geopolitical bubble around 2005, as well as social media encouraging politicization. Twitter warriors are just playing politicians, they fight and cannibalize each other to earn the coveted title of being the representative of a certain group online, and with comms opening up there are a lot more groups available to vie for control, and they're larger, too. It still wasn't enough however, so they began creating groups that they can say they are representative of. I chalk it up to the pangs of a burgeoning global communications culture. I think in a couple years this will all be a thing of the past, but there's also the chance that because humans in general have a hard time dealing with large numbers, people will always "groupify" those they are not familiar with and we will never see an end to these kinds of talks

No one has yet pointed out the things in the specials where he was supportive of the trans community. They only say he attacks them without being specific. 3. The only time I've seen specific references made were in articles which only seem to mention the TERF comment, but not the parts where he was supportive. And yes, if you watch and listen, there are many. 4. To demand a trans person be put on the board because you don't like the special is the height of hubris, and shows how unrealistic your expectations are. We need less outrage and hate in this country. Trans people are people too and deserve the same respect everyone else gets. That means they also need to accept jokes about them are fair game, just like with everyone else.

@@hunterhall1575 I agree with you, but those emotions have stirred up real consequences for people who are being logical.

Words can indicate intent, but never did he say he wanted anything for that group less than their protection and equality to match every other group. He didnt even say to lessen their level of protection and consideration; He asked that other affected groups get their levels RAISED to be more equal with the lgbtq community. He sought dialogue, and provided examples to help the audience to better understand his thinking. Yes he threw jokes in there, (because it's his profession) but he never wished any physical damage on another group of people for just trying to live their life. Where is the hate or even violent INTENT in that?

[@arikabearika]

I was saving the special for a day when I really needed to laugh but watched it after hearing yet more outrage thrown at Dave Chapelle. I feel like his comedy went deeper and more heartfelt yet the backlash was even worse. He surrounded every joke with his view that trans people be understood as human beings, while pointing out points of criticism. Watching the special made me more convinced that the line that most outspoken trans people are drawing has to do with not being able to be criticized and needing to control the way anyone speaks about gender. The rhetoric they use is that its "hate speech" and "violent" but this time I truly hope people watch the special and realize just how irrational and rhetorical this conversation has become.

[@megasweetness9353]

4:22 I have been in this exact situation. For the past couple years I have been going through very very very high emotional turmoil, and I simply would rather put my mental and physical efforts towards fixing myself than working towards fixing some part of society that I can't even trust anybody to properly inform me about. For all I know the stuff people are marching for might not even need change(not referring to anything in particular, just saying as a thought). Once I realized I was mentally and emotionally incapable of properly absorbing information(I suspect BPD, but I'm still talking to somebody about it), I took a step back from paying attention to local and global issues. Some people I've talked to say that me not partaking in trying to make change is just me enabling the "issues" to continue existing(whatever those may be from their perspective). I never thought to look at that way, and I still won't because it makes absolutely no sense 🤣

Exactly like that Trans Nikita Dragun she made a song called “dick” and in her lyrics she basically says biological women get their style from trans and copy trans girls. She got backlash and decided to say that she’s never met a biological woman that was more beautiful than her fellow trans. This type of thing is the problem, also many trans say that straight guys that find out they are trans and don’t date them still are transphobic. Which is not true if I saw a hot guy amd he turned out to be trans I would not be attracted anymore, it’s not a phobia I would just prefer a biological male. Why do these trans women want to replace real women

There has always been a lot of hypocrisy in the Trans community. I remember telling a trans woman that I did not want to be called a cis woman and she insisted in calling me that because she said that's what I was. If I would have called her a man all hell would've broke loose. You have to give people the same respect that you are demanding. Dave made jokes about EVERYONE, but for some reason the the trans community are exempt?! It's crazy!

[@tstarr8314]

You're also transphobic or a fetishist if you only date other cis people. 'They' create all these categories for everyone and then criticise people for being the category that 'they' created. 'They' say you can choose your pronouns or choose to not share your pronouns but criticise you for not sharing. I never said that I am a cis-gendered heteronormative female, they did. So if 'they' say that is what I am, then why is my attraction to cis-gendered heteronormative men a transphobic fetish? Makes zero sense.

[@abetterme7013]

Amd they have exploited the black community to make it seem like they have faced the same type of oppression as black people, but it's not even close to being the same.

Comedy is pointing out and even highlighting many of those facts in a way that brings people together to an understanding.
