I'm confused. Isn't that the intent of the protest? Those walking out specifically want to silence Chappelle. At the end of the day, I don't care what happens between a multi-millionaire and a multi-billion dollar corporation but your question seems disingenuous at best.
- Traster 5y agoThey aren't protesting that Chappelle is performing comedy, they're protesting that their company is financing it and advertising it. That's a massive difference.
- markusde 5y agoStopping shouting != silence. This is a naive take. Should every minority opinion be given the front page of netflix, regardless of the harm pushing it might leave in it's wake? Or just TERFs? Anti-trans violence and suicidality is a major issue and speech around it needs to be cognizant of that. At best in his special Chappelle does a poor job of recognizing this be it because he is maligned, uninformed, or just unclear; Advocating that we should continue amplifying it's message as some insular censorship issue is utterly silly.
