Dave became a rich old white hick. It's not just bad trans humor, it's old, tired ass bad trans humor. Same style of jokes rich old racist morons use. Hicks absolutely love that kind of empty headed shit though, so they defend him.
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.
I'm not a coward about words, but I've had this point deleted by mods before.
Malcolm describes the difference between the "house **gro" and the "field **gro."

It wasn't just tired-arse bad trans humour, it was tired-arse bad humour. I got 17 minutes in before I had to stop - I got past the offensive jokes, and then I was stuck listening to jokes other comedians were telling 20 years ago. If I'd kept listening, I'm sure he eventually would've made a joke about airline food.
He's been smoking so much weed the last 20 years the world passed him by.
I've been smoking weed for 20 years and I'm not a homophobic, ableist piece of shit and I certainly wouldn't use a Netflix platform to tell bigoted jokes. So I don't think it's the weed. It could be that he's just an asshole.
i think it's the mussie stuff more than the weed
Dont take away someone's blackness, no matter how shitty
The Beaverton is Canadian Satire news. Don't ya feel like an idiot now lmao
I mean it’s literally posted in theonion group… don’t ya feel like an idiot now lmao
Uhhhh he does actually have a Netflix special where half of it is bad trans jokes tho so who really is the idiot?
This really ain't the "gotcha" you think it is, buddy. Try again.
The only thing better than watching a bully make an ass of themselves is when they do it trying to mock someone else for not understanding something when they are actually the person who doesn't understand. I've seen two today already, the assholes are out in force!
Tl;dr: wicked self own bro.
You leapt in to defend uncle Dave before checking the c/, huh?
