Dave Chappelle Backlash For Trans Comments 

American comedian Dave Chappelle’s latest Comedy Special on Netflix has come under fire for his comments about trans people. The comedian has since doubled down on his comments, having performed to a sold-out celebrity-packed crowd in LA, he said he ‘loved being cancelled’. 

Netflix has been urged to pull the special from activists and people on social media, as they say Chappelle’s comments are transphobic and homophobic, and damaging, but some are arguing his comments aren’t offence and you shouldn’t police comedy.

comedy policing is the dumbest thing it’s not activism- but man dave chappelle is just a boomer now, it’s very sad to see.
