Things are becoming weirder and weirder.

The venue said “we believe in diverse voices” but evidently they really don’t.

Apparently people are cross (to the point of attacking him) because he said trans people are confusing.

Yeah I noticed this too. I was from my mother’s womb untimely ripped, Dave!

@lovelyweathertoday - if women had complained about sexism, they would have been laughed at and told to f* off. Because: women.

Well exactly. And women don't bother getting this kind of thing cancelled. Which I'm OK with, freedom of speech etc. I don't have to like it.

Totally agree...the irony though is lost on them.

I am increasingly finding racism only exists when you are black and also happen to say and believe all the right things.

If you don't, then suddenly it's alright to be discriminatory.

So you want us not to say that black people are black, while you are calling us racist?
Are you quite well?

I do personally think the terms 'black' as well as 'white' in themselves isn't helpful for describing whole groups of people with different cultural and language roots and backgrounds, but that's a different topic not related to this thread.

This question has been asked several times. With no answer yet. So yes, another one here waiting to hear.

We see you? Right back at ya.

Perhaps but no one gets cancelled for they carry on, do they? It's the sacred caste thing again

I understood the venue to be referencing diversity in opinion - which is why is seemed so bonkers. I obviously misunderstood. I really didn’t think race had anything to do with this.

As opposed to the racism of the TRA who state black womxn are only women if we include males? Classic TRA lazy everyday racism right there. Why not pop off and discuss casual racism with them.

@Conflictedunicorn I was addressing my remark to Clovefeld and her performative virtue signalling bollocks, which many of us none white people despair of (and increasingly find is making our lives harder).

At the relocated gig Chappelle said he understood the venue's decision as the children of staff members had been threatened.

That's appalling. I also saw a tweet by people who had filmed one of the senior staff of the original theatre going into the show in its new location trying to start a pile on on this woman.

Perhaps it’s his phallocentric take on things: act of creation, rather than delivery. 😉
