Dave Chappelle fills Netflix special with jokes about trans and disabled people
It’s the comedian’s first special for the streamer since 2021’s highly controversial ‘The Closer’
Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.
“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).
It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.
That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.
He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.
You're viewing a single thread.
I hate that Netflix keeps recommending this to me. No. I don't want this kind of shit.
You aren't missing anything. It's just an hour of an angry paranoid rich guy whining about problems that aren't problems.
This and that fucking Qanon child trafficking movie on Amazon have been on my Google TV all fucking break.
There's an election coming up. They want us to blame sex trafficking on brown central Americans, instead of the actual perps.
As a coincidence, some of those will become known soon: https://lemmy.world/post/10223332
Did Jim Caviezel get worse at acting, or is that movie terribly directed? I don’t really care if the story is exaggerated or largely false, lots of movies are, but he seemed to be over acting a lot.
Do you expect Netflix to have things to watch? That's your first mistake
