Dave Chappelle has released a new Netflix special, The Dreamer, which is full of jokes about the trans community and disabled people.

“I love punching down!” he tells the audience, in a one-hour show that landed on the streaming service today (31 December).

It’s his seventh special for Netflix and comes two years after his last one, the highly controversial release The Closer.

That programme was criticised for its relentless jokes about the trans community, and Chappelle revisits the topic in his new show.

He tells jokes about trans women in prison, and about trans people “pretending” to be somebody they are not.

    “I’M TOO STUPID TO RECOGNIZE SARCASM, TOO! WHO SHOULD I HATE NOW, I NEED YOU TO TELL ME!”

      I don’t hate Chapelle, but he clearly hates trans people.

      Edit: And before you get back at me, here’s my reasoning. Trans people are already victims as they get targeted by Neonazis for years now, and made the boogeyman of their whole movement (plus woke people, but that’s a majority, not minority), and he as a minority himself with that giant audience makes several specials that preaches on all the Neonazi talking points to a crowd of millions.

      He’s deliberately supporting Neonazis at worst and is an unknown tool of them at best.

      You know, shit stops being funny when there’s actually victims as an outcome to this.

      His old jokes didn’t make Neonazis think “He’s one of us now”.

        You should call your therapist. You clearly need help.

          Any counter arguments from your side or only dumb insults?
