He said that he was on team terf, like JK Rowling, because trans people were too annoying not to be.
Look, I get it, Dave Chappelle was cool circa 2000, but he’s fucking lame now. I’m not going to pretend that this cowardly, always pissing and moaning about cancel culture, has-been comedian is worth spending any of my time on. If he wanted to come back and be as well liked as he used to be, he should have been funny.
He made 4 specials bashing trans people. He didn’t fail a purity test. He failed the thoroughly mixed test. Between the trans “jokes” and calling his audance poor for booing Musk, he’s clearly a class traitor.
The only person I can think of who deserved people backing off of was Stephen Fry when he “defended” Rowling. Really, he only asked people to back off of her and didn’t comment on any of her ideas. He had too much of a history of political commentary and activism that carried more weight then a comedy show. I decided to sit on the fence regarding Fry.
Last year or so, he commented that Rowling was a lost cause. I’m guessing up to that point, he had been trying to reason with her because he knew her personally. He’s never not been an alley.

Yeah no, this isn’t a leftist purity test.
They said “progressive”, not leftist.
I love hearing people bash progressives for arbitrary tests when the standout feature of the right is false piety.
Pretend to pray super hard or you’re in the out group.
I agree with in principle but I don’t think Dave Chappelle is the example that you’re looking for
