I’m kinda ok with either Chappelle, but he just feels arrogant these days. Like he really plays into the hype and labels people give him - GOAT, un-cancellable, etc. I’m not big on artists of any type being so self-referential about what fans say/feel about them - I’m perfectly fine with them being arrogant or whatever based on how they feel about their skill.
that’s also why this one didn’t hit for me, the message needs to be said and we need to stop all this cancel bullshyt, but it partially feels Dave did this solely because he wants to show how far he can push and walk away unscathed, it didn’t really feel genuine.
on a tangent - we do need more voices standing up against cancel culture, especially women and lgbt folks (I’m laughing @ the trans community and how they came after Sam Jay as well), white men like burr and black men like Chappelle get dismissed in a way - burr for being a “privileged cis white male” and Chappelle for being the “typical misogynistic homophobic black man” - both demographics are seen as the enemy of LGBT and women’s movements
Dave kinda addressed this with the Daphne story. She went against code on canceling Dave and they attacked her for it. It's a mob mentality happening with anyone questioning the mob being the enemy no matter what group you belong to. I don't know how to solve it because people are reacting emotionally and not listening to the points being made.
