Not even Foo Fighters are immune...

I had an email this morning regarding the line up of the upcoming Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. I am a fan, but a) cannot afford it, I know it'll be expensive and b) hoping it's streamed as would be happy to pay for that instead.

Anyways, there, near the bottom "with an special appearance from Dave Chappelle"

I smelt trouble, and sure enough you can imagine what twitter is like this morning, all yikes and disappointment and heartbroken at giving up their favourite band, one going even as far to say fuck foo fighters.

I can't imagine what the band is going through in the wake of the loss of Taylor, but the pile on modus operandi of the bullies has begun reagrdless, and probably won't end until Dave Chappelle has been booted from the line up with massive pandering apologies. After which they'll be whinged at to cough up big time/ give portion of their ticket sales to trans organisations, and get a special mention at the concert itself because as we all know, nothing is good enough 🙄

One of the biggest bands in the world, and even they can't escape the hyperbolic tantrums of the woo-woo!

No idea who Dave Chapelle is, but the more people decide they don't want to go to the Taylor Hawkins Tribute the better chance I've got of securing my ticket!

#DontcaveDave 🙂

How sad that a tribute to a much missed band member is being attacked by a tiny tiny minority, because, you know, everything is all about them 🙄

I have no doubt it will sell out and be amazing 👏👏👏

All the whingers will succeed in is to highlight how ineffective their loud, aggressive tactics are. The show will sell out and Foo Fighters will be as popular as ever. In fact it will hopefully shine the light brightly on their preposterous ideology to many.

Yes, so disrespectful to Tony Hawkins as well. The narcissism of everything always being about them is fucking boring

Its an invitation to use google and not rely on others to do the research.

The worst thing about that clip is the guy breaking the sign then saying ' he's got a weapon'.

In the land of trigger happy cops making a false allegation that someone has a weapon is such a dick move.

Tambourine women will always cheer me up though. Absolute insanity

Totally agree regarding the he's got a weapon bit, very dangerous but serves well to highlight how much they lie, how little they care about the possible consequences of their lies and how inherently intolerant and downright fucking dangerous these TRAs are.

Illegallyblonder · 15/06/2022 15:53

Repent motherfucker is hilarious indeed.

I really hope Foos don’t cave, they must have known when they invited DC so you’d hope not.

Thanks @VestofAbsurdity and Helle. Need to bookmark it for when I need a laugh!

This thread is being shared on twitter by our monitors 👋

Alas they struggle with humour, so appear to have taken your comment seriously

Most of the noise on twitter is from the same old faces.

The jokes literally tell themselves. They have killed comedy as nothing is as funny as watching a Trantrum live.

DoctorTwo · 15/06/2022 15:30

I saw this on Twitter and hoped there'd be a thread here. I hope Foo Fiighters stick to their guns, this is after all for charity. Which is something the TRAs lack.

Can never get enough of REPENT MOTHERFUCKER!!!

I didn't think Foo Fighters could get more awesome.
I was wrong.

picklemewalnuts · 15/06/2022 15:04

Didn't the guy with the sign get a bad head injury after another altercation where he was pushed over by TRAs? There are limits to the hilarity. They may be hilariously bonkers, but they're still scary and dangerous!

Ah the "Repent Motherfucker" tambourine shaker was an absolute gem, the funniest part being the very polite way the person eased themselves to the front repeatedly saying "Excuse me" before launching into the tambourine shaking rant. Priceless. Almost as good as the one with the wheely mobility aid whizzing up to a woman whilst shouting "witch". For such a humourless mob TRA's provide some unsurpassable comedy moments.

I really want to talk to that woman and find out what's going on inside her head

Didn't Dave Chapelle's attempted cancellation generate a video with some dude defending Dave with a sign 'Jokes are funny', at which point unhinged tambourine-shaking TRA suggests, rather repeatedly and insistently, that he should 'repent, motherfucker'? Does anyone have a link, sorry, or I'll try to find later. It genuinely was one of the funniest moments of a whole debate Wink

That's the one, guy holding a sign gets the sign part ripped off by activists who then shout "he's got a weapon!" when he was left holding the stick part.🙄

That's TRA in a nutshell really. They try silence and shut down anything you say then claim you're the aggressor.

Repent motherfucker was hilarious though!

Here you are. And yes - it was a glorious demonstration of the extreme efforts of the bigoted to cancel all dissent.

@SolasAnla , I'm confused and want to understand. You thought the person asking who Dave Chapelle is should just Google it.

Three questions,
where does the tennis ball come into it?
Why did you say he's a radio guy with white privilege?
Why can't people ask something so it's explained within the right context? I could Google it, but get unrelated stuff about the guy that wouldn't explain this controversy at all. Ask an expert, surely?

Dave Chapelle is very funny, targets all sorts of groups (including women) with his humour. He describes himself in his latest Netflix "The Closer" as being on "Team Terf".
Like most rational adults, I don't find everything single he says funny but he's brilliant in calling out hypocrisy. For example:
" Chappelle makes the example of rapper DaBaby, who in 2018 shot and killed a man in Walmart with little repercussion to his career. Fast forward to 2021, and members of the LGBTQ community have boycotted DaBaby after he made homophobic remarks.
“You can kill a (expletive), but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings,” said Chappelle "

Taken from this article that summarises Dave Chapelle's position:
