Wow, it usually takes some knowledge about a subject to come to a conclusion like that.
But you came to that conclusion without any knowledge at all.
Just like most of these comments about Dave Chappelle's latest standup.
Pretty on brand of you to form an ignorant and severely judgemental conclusion based on little to no information at all.
You sound like an American Republican.
And here you are baiting, strawman after strawman
This whole thread is mostly about beating a Chappell-shaped straw man.
Wait, so he doesn't do a yearly transphobic comedy show where he delights in "punching down"?
Wheres the "straw man"?
Have you watched the show or are you arguing here about what you've decided the show is about?
Because if it's the latter then yes, it's a straw man. It's basically a textbook straw man.
I'll take comments that show the individual has no idea what they are talking about, for $500, Alex.
You can't even make a real argument, and just use sarcasm and personal attacks.
Be angry at me all you want.
But next time you see such an obviously baiting headline, like this "article"... ask yourself if it's a real article or just clickbait that wants to trick you into scrolling through 40 ads to read something that doesn't expand on the headline AT ALL.
And then wonder if there is a lot of "news" floating out there meant to make you angry just so you drive traffic to the source.
If you question this kind of nonsense even once, moving forward, then these last 10 minutes was well worth the effort.
