Says he is “team TERF” and backs JK Rowling.

I went to watch it now, and netflix won't load it or any of his other shows.

Uh oh.

EsmaCannonball · 11/10/2021 15:45

On yesterday's The Mess We're In they started referring to the showrunner complaining about Chappelle as The Bloke with the Cock Tattoo. Now Glinner's SubStack has a mocked-up poster for that film. Imagine having to deal with a man shoving that porn-culture tattoo in front of your face all the time.

Oh no! I watched it yesterday and was looking forward to working through the rest.

I can’t get it either but he may have pulled it himself, he has done that before.

Aderyn21 · 11/10/2021 16:38

It's working on mine

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 11/10/2021 16:43

Phew.

@Blessex I have. DC doesn't give a damn about women's rights but his commentary over the years about race has been spectacular.

@MedusasBadHairDay

Hmm, I'm curious to know the context for "gender is a fact". I'd say arguing that gender is the factual bit, rather than sex, falls into either conservative or TRA territory.
This gay man and his husband just watched Chappell's newest set last night and found it hilarious and very humane. Yes, he used the word "gender instead of "sex" a few times but he's not going to play the woke terminology game. He complains throughout the set that a certain segment of LGBTQ community (the ones intent on being outraged) are not listening to what he's actually saying and simply piling on.

People who claim he is "transphobic" have clearly not watched the actual set (which as the JK Rowling brouhaha proves is what so many do, get their information from Twitter instead of going to the actual source where they might find out that what people SAY Rowling (and Chappell) have said is not ACTUALLY what they said) He does indeed call trans activist insanity onto the carpet (rightly so) but he also recalls with humor and tenderness his trans friend and fellow comedian Daphne Dorman whom he was mentoring before her death.

Ironically, when Daphne defended Chappell's supposedly "transphobic" first Netflix special on Twitter, she too was smeared by trans activists. Which like the intolerant response to this special, further proves that this isn't about trans rights or trans people's actual well being but about power and speech control.

@VladmirsPoutine I never said that he does. I just said he had an interesting viewpoint I hadn’t thought of before on it all.

TerfRex · 11/10/2021 18:20

Argh!

I was watching it in bits today, last watched a bit at 5:40, and had literally got to the end, where he makes really major points.

That's annoying (in his words.)

Is this actually legal? There are many employers in the UK who would not employ someone if they had a visible obscene tattoo.
TerfRex · 11/10/2021 18:32

I'm at the point where I'm wondering if Moore is trolling and the whole thing has been orchestrated between him and Chapelle.

TerfRex · 11/10/2021 18:39

I'd just got to the bit where he talks about his friend Daphne and felt it extremely poignant. Describing the 6 day twitter pile on from tras because this TW comedian stood up for him.

TerfRex · 11/10/2021 18:40

Oh no panic over, it's there. Not sure what happened. It wasn't briefly!

I'm sorry for being dim, but could someone please explain that in a way that I understand?

Sort of rephrase it, for someone who doesn't have a clue? Thanks.

Thank you for that link. I appreciate it.

It's so wrong.

So it turns out that someone should have told J Moore to be careful about what you wish for. Someone may not be working for Netflix again.

Netflix Suspends Three Employees, Including Trans Person Who Spoke Out Against Dave Chappelle, for Crashing Leadership Meeting

trancepants · 11/10/2021 21:18

Ah ok, it's a different trans person and it's because the stormed into a high level Netflix meeting to protest.

TheLeadbetterLife · 11/10/2021 21:33

Chapelle may be on “our” side on this, but he’s no friend to women. The first of his Netflix specials was an hour long rape apology on behalf of Bill Cosby. He’s a misogynist, as are many people who superficially appear to be gender critical.

Journeyofthedragons · 11/10/2021 21:47

He also gave Louie CK one of his first shows when other clubs stopped booking him after he was accused of multiple instances of sexual misconduct.

On his special Sticks & Stones, Chappelle remarked that CK “didn’t do anything you can call the police for”, and said: “Now he’s coming back playing comedy clubs and they’re acting like if he’s able to do that that’s going to hurt women. What the f* is your agenda, ladies?"

[quote trancepants]Look at the comments on the Variety article about Jaclyn Moore's threat to stop working with Netflix. It's being ratio-ed to fuck. I think there is definitely a sea change happening at the minute.

I can't believe feminists are fawning over Chappelle just because he declared himself a TERF...

Chappelle seems to think he’s being very deep as he asks us to consider the possibility that maybe—just maybe!—a rapist might be capable of a great deal of good, too. "That's the dilemma for the audience,” he says, “Because he rapes, but he saves a lot of lives. And he saves way more than he rapes, and he only rapes to save. But he does rape.”

Not Moore, some employee. (Moore isn't an employee, right, just worked on a Netflix-produced show?)
