Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.
“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).
It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.
That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.
He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.
Yeah i wonder this too. One of my ‘friends’ is constantly spamming trans hate (he’s currently on timeout, blocked on my contacts due to this) and recently mentioned that he never actually met one… What did they do to him??
I know many trans people and with some of them people aren’t even aware they are trans. Guess what, they’re just normal people.
that’s what fearmongering an propaganda does to a gullible person. constantly being told a group of people “are pedophiles” makes you believe it.
i am generally an advocate for free speech, but hate speech like this has nothing to do on the internet.
