There's a very politically incorrect comedian I follow. There's one key difference however: he isn't an asshole.
And why is Chapelle an asshole? The transgender person above is crying because everything is either black or white and make everything about them, and this constant woke persecution is just exhausting. But I guess that is the norm with Lemmy, everything that you say that is not left wing is immediatly downvoted, lmao
Alternatively, you could have just also said: "Why don't you let us joke about you being disgusting freaks in peace?", but I doubt you have the self-awareness.
Save us the displeasure of having to deal with your presence.
This is what I meant, if you like Dave Chapelle is because you are transphobic evil, no inbetween, everything is black or white.
But here we are, once again. Suddenly I find transgender people "disgusting freaks".
You’re either transphobic or ok with going along with someone who’s transphobic. They don’t care the difference. Or you think he’s not transphobic, and I’d say you’re naive. He’s made it very clear he’s not poking fun or exaggerating anything. He doesn’t acknowledge trans women as women. These are statements not bits. Mind boggling all the more that his grandparents would have been subject to the same kind of hatred based on their race being inferior to whites in many of the same ways Trans people are being discriminated today.
