    Now the fact that Dave disappeared to FUCKING OHIO and “worked on comedy” in fucking OHIO tells you everything you need to know about how fucking unfunny Dave Chappelle is now.

    I used to be a huge fan. Now he’s just not funny anymore bigot or no.

      I don’t think Yellow Springs, OH is the reason Dave Chappelle is now a transphobic asshole, as you’re suggesting. Yellow Springs was first started as an attempt to create a socialist utopia. It’s super hippie dippy, and home to a notable liberal arts school. It’s historically much much more liberal than the rest of Ohio.

      Also he’s lived there since like 2005, well before his transition into a transphobic asshole.

      In my opinion, the reason is money, along with the “fuck you I got mine” attitude that comes with oodles and oodles of money.

        It’s a liberal pocket of suburban ohio. Think of Bill Maher types but in a hippie bubble, that’s yellow springs.

      Dude was a guy who was totally willing to call bullshit to things and stand up for people.

      But then for some reason, he saw a group of marginalized individuals being mistreated, feeling isolated and committing suicide and said, “Let me fuck with them too.”

      The karma is when his kids turn on him.

        We know it’s satire. In case you didn’t know, satire is often used to poke fun at real world occurrences.
