Chappelle has zero understanding of anything. I hate how much I used to like him.

[vivalakeyana]

Same.

[aotearoagal]

Of course they did

Gross of Netflix

Elliot Page had stuff to stay about this on Instagram. Unfortunately, if they had to choose, execs would probably pick Dave over Umbrella Academy, cause Dave fits the sensibilities of straight rich people.

I hate how true this is.

Yup. The co-CEO wrote: “Chapelle is one of the most popular stand-up comedians today, and we have a long standing deal with him. His last special 'Sticks & Stones,' also controversial, is our most watched, stickiest and most award winning stand-up special to date. As with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom - even though this means there will always be content on Netflix some people believe is harmful.”

That's a lot of words for "but he makes us money!!!!"

These people who make way WAY less than Dave does could lose their jobs over speaking out, but he's still the victim because sometimes people are mean to him on Twitter about the stuff he gets millions of $$$$ to say. Incredible shit.

EDIT: wowwww the replies to that thread. "Leave black people out of this" when discussing high rates of LGBTQ murders?!
