Seinfeld says that far left woke mobs have killed comedy. He also dated a 17-year-old. - eviltoast

    Chapelle’s special’s have been very controversial. I think people protested about one of them, kind of proving Seinfeld’s point.

      Please, tell me more about how Chappelle was canceled and didn’t get like 3 standups in a row on streaming playforms.

      This “somebody didn’t like it” = “cAnCeLeD” narrative is fucking tiring. I didn’t watch “the one” or any of them - because I just don’t fucking care about someone who hasn’t done anything for 20 years, didn’t think about it all either way past “I heard it exists” - and for 6 months I couldn’t tell anyone I didn’t watch it because I’d be subjected to a 30 minute/5 paragraph rant about how I personally destroyed comedy and freedom by not watching it, with a heavy implication that I OWE IT TO HIM to watch it and that I’m a fascist if I don’t give him my clicks.

      I just don’t give a fuck about Chappelle, but spoiler alert, he’s not some edgy on the brink celebrity. He’s washed up celeb #386 out of 1,000 who have chased the easy paycheck of saying the things that only the dredges of society want to hear. If you think hearing “trans women are men LULULULUL” for the 800th time is all you want in life, by all means go empty your wallets for Chappelle, Seinfeld, Sorbo, etc - but FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF with this bullshit “you’re the real fascist if you don’t throw your money/attention at them” nonsense.

      Yeah he had a bit about how he believes trans people are gender they claim

      But against Seinfeld’s point; it still got made and is still on streaming platforms
