Do you know when a trans joke from a comedian is not transphobic? When it's actually funny.
I didn't laugh once, it felt uninspired and click-baity which made it appear as though he was trying to exclude trans people from being in on the joke that is about them, regardless of whether that was his intention.
- labrador 4y agoThe reason I rewatched The Closer is because a new video from Chappelle was released in which he talks about the artistic intent behind his jokes. "Dave Chappelle What's in a Name." I thought "Space Jews" was offensive, but as an artistic concept it's funny. You know what else is funny? The transgender community has nothing to say about "Space Jews" afaik. In Ricky Gervais' most recent special he told a few transgender jokes, which I thought were not too bad and kind of funny, but then went on to be extremely offensive on other topics. I think his meta joke here is that he would only be criticized for the trans jokes. He was right.
