So you're against all of Dave's standup then? And a couple dozen other comedians?

Watched it last night.
Although I laughed, I feel like this was Dave's weakest out of all his specials

Never really been a fan of his but I did watch it because my husband wanted to. How is the molestation joke not getting any smoke? Nor the vet joke? Those were both pretty messed up and stood out to me more.

Going off the back and forth on the last page. Seems the lbgt community's focus on trans rights and being a vanguard when they're attacked has led to them getting the monopoly on being outraged when made fun of. All other groups get drowned out by the louder voice.

As a black woman my frustrations run deep but I’ll reserve my comments.

Hey don't even get me started. On one hand, I know what would be said in response to how the lbgt community has kinda been steamrolling their way to civil rights and it wouldn't be totally wrong but on the other, its not hard to see whats going on.

Another brilliant special. If I’m being honest though the Daphne set came off as pandering a bit. I don’t think he owes anyone anything but I get it.

It just goes to show, what’s hot is hot in culture. The Trans community is upset but not the gay community. There were gay jokes that no one is talking about. Gay is old news. It’s like that South Park episode when Cartman gets AIDS and no one cares because cancer was the hot topic.

you can make jokes about literal child molestation
you can say you believe trans women are women, and you support there right to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity, ect ect
but make one **** and fart joke at their expense and you're literally responsible for the murder of trans people.

This is a great example, when I watched Louis CKs N word bit
I don't remember anyone turning around and saying
"Louis CK is responsible for every black person murdered by the police."
you see this claim constantly repeated with zero scrutiny.
This special will lead DIRECTLY to the mass murder of trans people, it's insane.
Somehow a special that says; trans women are women,
trans women should be allowed to live and use the bathroom that aligns with their gender.
comes out against anti trans conservative legislation.
a special that has a story of Dave friendship with a trans women and attempts to support her
burgeoning comedy career as it's closing bit
that's the special will lead to the MURDER of trans people.
the murderous transphobe is going to site this special and say,
"you gotta die because something something I watched the closer on netflix a couple days a go."

That's cool but I was responding to what you said in your post. Nobody is talking about comedians trying to get Seinfeld to say the n word.
Tons of comedians make fun of many marginalized and minority groups whether they're a part of them or not. Sometimes at the expense of those groups, sometimes laughing with them. They're meant as jokes though not coded hate speech. Those groups complain, voice their displeasure up to even saying they're offended regardless. They ask for those comedians to stop.
You're siding with them saying the comedians should stop. You're saying older now and know better to make jokes or I guess laugh at those things correct?
There just seems to be no acknowledgement that these are jokes meant to entertain not purposely and directly offend or support the death of a group of ppl. We're not talking about thoughtlessly using slurs as punchlines.

I feel like this is orchestrated controversy from those who claim to be upset. I’m glad they’re proving Dave’s point in which the issue has and is always been with white people. Anyone not seeing that is being obtuse .
Dave is methodical with his joke telling. From how he set up the Clifford joke to how he used it several times down the line and so forth. The type of material he used in this special could’ve came off alt-rightish but he handled it with enough balance. Humor and seriousness. Comedy is effortless for him at this point.

Or I could just reconsider whatever my thoughts were specifically of 3 of the 4 men there
this is another example, to go back to sports
what I’m saying is be better, be more creative.. racists have been doing it for years with finding new shh to say while avoiding certain words everyone has accepted will get you in trouble
there are a lot of ways to call someone dumb or stupid without using a word we have fortunately finally decided as a society is wrong because it is derogatory to those with disabilities

Tryna be so extreme no one dares challenges it for fear of backlash. Exactly Dave's point.

Good for Dave 
So funny all the outrage certain groups have about standup when it targets them but they’ll laugh when it targets other groups, hypocritical crybaby MFs

I'm not sure what word or words you're referring to with the topic of Dave and the trans community but I'm talking about comedians making jokes about them at all.
They say its offensive and that he hates those ppl and are contributing to the murder of trans ppl. To me if you're siding with that stance your cutting out most funny comedians. Not just Dave.
I don't know if you saw the latest special but that couldn't be farther from the truth.

I think to prove a point. Of all he said, the LBGT is what people are upset about.

I did noticed Jerry, went from dying laughing to stonedfaced when they broke out the N word. Only the two cancelled white guys were laughing.

jerry and Louie are Jewish
wonder how that convo would have went if Chris rock started throwing out certain words used for Jews and playing on stereotypes
I never thought much of Ricky or Louie.. but I look differently at Chris rock after that shh
