I think people might be getting tired of the “I have no respect for anyone or anything no matter how delicate, bad taste and shit stirring are funny haha, isn’t it cool to be uselessly disruptive and cruel” thing in general. As someone gender non-conforming, fuck Dave Chapel, but I suspect he’s a canary in the mine for a sea change in the kind of jokes people enjoy in this crushing scary and depressing era. It doesn’t help he is making fun of a group Republicans are openly plotting to oppress if not erase. You know. Like some sort of coward who goes after acceptable targets and doubles down despite the backlash because they are so very lucrative in their exploitability. As a plus, he’s getting in on the ground floor of the Nazi-lite entertainer-to-propagandist operation, so he will be forging connections with everyone who keeps getting cancelled by wokescolds. When that starts happening to one of these weak willed celebrities, they end up tripling down on their weakest character traits and circling wagons with the worst fuckers alive.

If you’re a fan of Chappelle’s, all you can do for him is email or tweet him that you think he’s being cringe. He’s not going to stop otherwise, he’s being/has been inducted into the canceled club for free thinkers and he-says-what-were-all-thinking right wingers.
