The best kind of humor is that which is focused on explaining at length to the unappreciative portion of the audience why they're wrong. It's a surefire recipe for laughs.

it’s not surprising that even smart, formerly (insert sarcasm font) incendiary truth tellers can have retrograde opinions on this stuff, but this is the hill you demand to die on? with all the things going on in this fucked up country where you could “trigger” folks w actual power… and you’re not even ‘dying’ on any hill; you’re being celebrated by bloodless ghouls in the Economist and a bunch of hooting psychopaths who literally think slavery or miscegenation laws should be “left to the states”

I think thats at least one core central disappointment among many here, this is the least interesting, least valuable thing he could be spending this vaunted genius and bravery on
For a cadre so quick to lean back on the importance of their profession they sure as a group fail en masse to wield the power and platform and ability in a way that demonstrates much respect for the inherent possibilities- it rings so hollow

Doesn't Orange is the New Black have a major trans character played by Laverne Cox? I mean, fuck Netflix over all this, but she made a big impression, and her character was treated pretty sympathetically, iirc.

Yeah, Netflix basically gave Cox her career, but she's the only example I can think of.

I was trying to avoid Caitlin in my equation because I thought we were talking about fictional characters and/or stand-up comedians? Of course, KUWTK is as fictional as it gets and airs on Hulu rather than Netflix so it's not much of a difference.
I don't think Eddie is anywhere close to Dave's level in the US, although she does have some pretty good film/tv credits (usually male presenting).

One of his worst bits yet
Dave Chappelle personally came to a city council meeting and threatened to remove his $65m dollars of investments from his city if they allowed a developer to move forward with an affordable housing program. The objection wasn't to the build, but the affordable housing component. https://t.co/3ahCy1KqmN pic.twitter.com/l8MTxhhlJ7— grimm (@ExileGrimm) February 9, 2022

This is completely inaccurate. The objection is they are building it directly in his backyard, taking pictures of his home & using it as a selling point.The PUD presented by Oberer planned for houses starting at $300k and up. Not affordable

"Traffic issues, a lack of parking ..." These are the kinds of BS objections people around here have raised every time a lower or mixed income or mixed use building has gone up over the past few years, and despite these fears never coming to fruition, afaict, they keep getting raised again and again.
On the other hand, calling $300k (reported starting price) homes "affordable housing" is a pretty big stretch. Maybe more affordable for *that* affluent exurb ... Anyway, Chappelle has burned through any benefit of the doubt - that's what being a professional asshole will get you - but I've yet to see a news story on this that delved deeper than clickbait cut-n-paste "Chappelle doesn't like poor people" headlines. From what I understand his main objection was not the idea of "affordable" housing but housing designed to attract more people like *him*, people with money that want to move or retire to a quaint blue town (pop. 4000) about 30 minutes outside of friggin' *Dayton* in the middle of red Ohio. And afaict, the development (single family homes) is still going forward, just in line with what had previously been agreed to rather than a more ambitious cash grab of duplexes and townhouses couched as "affordable housing." Like, I don't think we're talking Section 8 here.
