Has Clay Travis weighed in?

But seriously what a sad story and a brave kid.

Why would I have an issue with this one? I had genetic females play up in my baseball leagues growing up that could throw 9 K’s a game. This is shitty! I think he’s a badass that should be able to play. There’s zero enhancements here in competition with genetics.

I got some news for you, bud.

I'm putting this here instead of the comedians thread because I know it would get moved right away, but are you all aware of the John Mulaney controversy from over the weekend? He did a show in Cleveland and Chapelle did a surprise opening for him. Chappelle once again told his trans jokes that aren't jokes at all. People are pissed because Mulaney hugged him on stage after and hasn't disavowed Chappelle's set. Worth noting that Mulaney was extremely popular in gay and trans culture.

My twitter account has been an absolute magnet for eggs, bots, and angry men with 10 or less followers.

Has Chappelle become unfunny and now is pandering to the LCD for clout? It's apparent that most of his loudest defenders now don't even watch him.

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, I heard about it. Thought it was hilarious they were trying to cancel Mulaney based off association.

I heard the "trans joke" was that he was attacked with a gun that identified as a knife or something along those lines. Was there more to it?

It's weird to me that Chappelle would open for anyone.

[catastrophe]

Yeah that’s a bit of a red flag. Like was he just in the neighborhood or is he really having trouble getting a big venue to book him?

[420seriouscat69]

Chapelle is random and helps out friends. He walked into the comedy cellar when I was there one time. He does what he wants, when he wants, like leaving his own show on a whim.

[420seriouscat69]

He literally announced he was doing a show in KC and it was sold out in minutes. That's not what's happening at all.

Did he steal that joke from the Babylon Bee? Good grief

[michigancat]

Also I've never thought of Mulaney as anything other than a straight white guy who likes Broadway. Never knew he had a rep as being a special ally or anything

[Rage Against the McKee]

I do get how someone who doesn't want to hear trans jokes would be upset about getting a bonus Dave Chappelle show before the show they actually signed up to see. It wouldn't bother me, but I can see how some people would get pissed off about that.

Dave lives in Ohio

[420seriouscat69]

Yup, in a small town too. He does some of his Netflix specials from his Ranch.

I saw Louis CK do a surprise set and I was pissed, both because he sucked and because he acted like it wasn't widely known that he jerked off in front of non-consenting women, he just went straight into his shitty material like he was right where he belonged.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Yeah, and these are huge performers. Just put the name on the bill when the ticket gets sold so people who don't want to see it don't have it thrown in their faces, and the tickets would even sell for more money, so everyone wins.

To be fair I was at the Comedy Cellar where tickets are only like $20 and they warn you that lineups are subject to change and you may see someone you might not like. I didn't like ask for a refund but it put me in a bad mood.

[BIG APPLE CAT]

At first I wasn’t thinking rusty quit being a bitch but then I thought if I went to a comedy show and then got ambushed by Dane cook spending an hour to tell a joke that could have been done in like 3 minutes I would have a pretty chapped ass about it

Not really the same thing.  One is a comedian telling jokes you think are in bad taste and the other sexually assaulted multiple women.

[catastrophe]

Yeah, and to be fair I don’t think the criticism is that these audience members were subjected to bad jokes. That would be dumb. They’re upset that it appears Mulaney invited the guy despite the fact that he is currently mostly known for the trans jokes.

My personal opinion is that I don’t really believe  any money I spend on artists or entertainers is an endorsement of their moral character, so in those situations I’d only be upset in the sense that I could have had a better time if someone funnier had opened.

[MakeItRain]

"Trying to cancel," lol

Not the same thing to you. There are plenty of people who thinks there's nothing wrong with what CK did, even more who think that he's more that think he's paid an excessive price and he should be able to get on with his life.

All of this stuff is subjective, it's what's infuriating about people telling trans folks that they shouldn't be offended as if trans people are the only ones who have a line that can be crossed.

It's pretty clear that Chappelle got his feelings hurt by the initial backlash and now he's dealing with being hurt by telling shitty jokes and getting love from the Rogan crowd. He's a long way from the social commentary that used to piss off the same people who are now encouraging him. Hope this doesn't turn into a full Whitlock.
