@DwntwnT @evangreer He has unfortunately incorporated transphobic rhetoric into his comedy of late. I think it was his Netflix special The Closer where he talked, perhaps without entirely understanding but also without having done enough to try to understand, about JK Rowling getting canceled. He stated that he is in favor of TERFs, transphobes who try to present anti-trans bigotry as if it’s feminism. Things got worse as he repeatedly doubled down on the matter. I think there have been other complaints, but I’m not keeping track. I was never part of his target audience.
If you’d like a thoughtful and nuanced breakdown of the situation which doesn’t ignore Dave Chappelle’s importance as a comedian or shy away from the influence of racism on his career and decisions, without going to the other extreme and underplaying the harm he’s now doing, I’d highly recommend F.D Signifier’s video essay about him. https://youtu.be/S42DJr95Dfw
