DAVE CHAPPELLE SLAMMED ONCE AGAIN/ The famous comedian infuriated even the most loyal fans who have wholeheartedly defended him with a new special on Netflix
The American comedian has already stated his opinion on transgender people in stand-ups several times
Comedian Dave Chappelle has faced an avalanche of criticism over controversial statements about transgender people in a new Netflix special, writes People.
"Gender is a fact. Every person in this room and on Earth had to walk between a woman's legs to be born. It's a fact. I'm not saying transgender women aren't women. I'm just saying that their vaginas ... You know what I mean? No, I say they're not vaginas. They taste like vaginas, but that's not it, is it? It's not blood, but beetroot juice, "Chappelle said in a special on" The Closer. "
His words provoked numerous reactions on social networks.
"As a transgender woman, I used to defend Dave Chappelle because I think his jokes are hilarious and I never feel like he is intentionally insulting a trans woman. 'The Closer' changed my attitude about it. That special seemed so lazy and insincere, I'm really disappointed ", actress and director Taylor Ashbrook tweeted.
As a trans woman, I have usually defended Dave Chappelle’s specials because I think they’re hilarious and his jokes about trans women never felt intentionally malicious.
The Closer changed my mind on that. That special felt so lazy and disingenuous and I’m really disappointed. — Taylor Ashbrook (@taylor_ashbrook) October 5, 2021
"The first thing I did today was watch Dave Chappelle's special and I haven't been able to shake off my anger since then. Everything else aside, but I believe so far even the most loyal Chappelle fans want to hear material related to something other than his obsession with trans bodies," said a writer Kathryn VanArendonk.
everything else aside - and it’s hard to set aside - I just have to believe by this point that even the most devoted chappelle audience would love to hear material on something other than his obsession with trans bodies — Kathryn VanArendonk (@kvanaren) October 5, 2021
