Yes! I hope he doesn't buckle. Thank you Graham for your tireless advocacy!

This man up and quit a successful TV show on his own terms. He doesn't buckle to anyone.

He's been laughing at and being harassed by men who identify as trans for a couple of years, so I think we're safe. He's quite a bit smarter than his detractors too, which always helps :)

He won't buckle. As far as I can see he isn't on social media and he gives no shits on how people react to him. He's been mocking this whole queer theory for a long time already.

Great quote "Trans people make up words to win arguments".

A real man with real balls! Wonderful, refreshing and a huge thank you

Dominic Raab is being lampooned for not knowing what misogyny is by people who don't know what a woman is

OMG! This is HUGE!!

It really is. Any famous man standing up for women's human rights at this point is amazing. I've seen him laughing at the ridiculous Jenner before, so I'm not surprised, though very pleased.

If every sissy stood up and said "my mom never had a penis, use words that represent you and reality" it'd be over in 3 minutes.

Not really, i just looked it up and hes like "women are real, im not saying trans women arent women, but that's not a vagina". But with more words and lame jokes.

Let's rephrase that: The headlines about this are huge for the world to see.

Then he killed it by believing in gender. So disappointing. Not sure why anyone thinks hes funny.

Are you a stand up fan? Any names you like?

Expand full comment

Nah, I don't watch tv unless I'm feeling kind. Too mind numbing.

I wouldnt want him as a gender critical advocate because he says some really dodgy things - about the Space Jews for example. Thank you but no.

Expand full comment

Exactly, he's not what we all need.

Expand full comment

He should still not be a coward on the matter. If only he spent more than 1 second coming up with materal. Maybe run it past someone with a clue. At least he tried.

Speaking as a Jewish person, I laughed at that joke, much as I laughed at Chappelle's other jokes in the show. He was joking about the stereotypes surrounding Jews, not mocking Jews themselves. This is pretty obvious.

I remeber being forced to watch his show by a lame guy. That sums him up for me. Not been impressed once.

Most of us know you called this "fight" quite a while ago and you've never wavered in your support of women's rights. Thank you for that. When the dust settles I think there will be a lot of embarrassed "liberal" celebrities out there, deleting their online history and such.

Oh crikey let’s hope!

I’m having trouble getting past the fact he opened the show saying its his last show - come on Dave! I’m glad he is still weighing in on this, his comedy is priceless. It’s no surprise he confused sex and gender, nor confuses the LGB movement with the TQs since that’s exactly how it was designed by the TRAs. I hope he has a lot of stuff in the pipeline because he is one of the *very* few willing to wade into the this territory.

He's took a long break after Chappelle show, maybe he'll do similar again, but I hope its for a shorter period of time :)

Literally what needs to happen. I can shout all day and no one would care. Celeberties need to stop being puppets.

Dave is GOAT. His skit about lesbians being thrown out the "community" taxi is the work of true genius. This is quite good too: https://ibb.co/5RK4z6x

Someone posted it on one of the now banned GC reddit subs, 2018 B.G.? I had me a real laugh, not a kindness chuckle.

There's a MAD TV skit, "Lesbian Bar" where a guy is in pink and the girl is dumb but the other couple is like nahhhhhh.

Why does this news make me tear up? Thanks Dave, you can't know what it means to hear this.

The audience photo is gold.

If audience isn't young and laughing that's how you know they weren't paid to applaud on cue. Real ticket holders! A rare sight.

I watched it last night, and it’s brilliant. Yes, he is offensive to everyone, uses the n word, calls women the b word. But he speaks up for JK Rowling. He closes the act by focusing on the modern lgbt rights movement and where it has gone horribly wrong. He states that when you mess with someone’s livelihood, you’re killing them, he describes the suicide of a TIM who dared to speak up for him on Twitter. He ends by saying that these activists have got to stop attacking his people, meaning comedians and artists. Yes, he’s saying what Graham and countless others gave been saying for years, and he’s saying it to an audience of millions. He standing up to bullies.

"This is a big moment, a massive intervention by a massive talent."

Irrefutably true. Finally, another famous man with some courage and decency. Was starting to think Graham was in a class of 1.

Lovely to have him on side, I've always enjoyed his routines, even more so now.

It would be especially funny to hear Owen Jones’ verdict on Dave Chapelle’s views. After this, Twitter noise is irrelevant.

Don't understand about the women and their twitter verdict?

Oh yes they do stand out...and everyone else is laughing ( they look like the only white faces there too).

I just read a joke which someone on twitter was complaining about on Twitter in which DC was saying about trans.

The joke is extremely crude … would the women be stony face about that!

I would be... but then I would never go to his shows because I know his shtick .
