He only did that once in his review of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. The word was cut off after the first "g" as a joke, at the end of the review. He never did that again in his reviews, and I am glad. I am not one for "N" word priveleges and that goes double for Tarantino's heavy use of them in his early films.
The Joke is Dave is a bit of a moron who didn't get it but how through him not getting it but having some-one there willing to try and help him one of his shows evolved into something very different where people in the audience came away from it possibly more informed. The punchline is the awfulness of the world that Daphne did that then when Dave was being dragged online with people offended seemingly on her behalf she stood up for Dave and said stop being offended on my behalf and they dragged her for it. They dragged her for not being offended and instead having been the one at the show trying to help Dave understand things more. Because I dunno they think Dave is meant to know everything already or something. The punchline is the gut punch from the world and the cruel irony that the person who was trying to do something good was turned on for trying to do something good rather than acting like an asshole and trying to harm people and force them to tow some kind of line. That's the punchline. It's not funny, it's the punchline of grim reality penetrating back into the joke.
Early? Man I rewatched Django and The hateful Eight this week. I think I might have some bad news for you. That shit made me squirm despite knowing the context.
I did not watch that one.
Oh, I already know about those movies too. I saw them in theaters. Those films I throw some leeway considering, that was people acted and treated blacks during those times in the 19th century. I have Django, and Hateful Eight I felt no need to watch again after one viewing.
They should try being funny

At the risk of offending people.
Except at the time of conception unless there was extra science involved or other things going on I can only assume she would have been at the time in the eyes of society and possibly herself to an extent a man so a father as such.
Hence why I said earlier that nobody should be immune from comedy as a target.
As they say in the show business, "Don't quit your day job." Joke sucks. Now call me an SJW trying to censor and cancel you.
Issue is here people specifically trying to get the special pulled and or Netflix to refuse to work with Dave Chappelle again due to this and if they don't cause damage to Netflix is various ways. That's way beyond just criticising something.
As I said, I tried, I didn't say it would be good. Also you're not calling for the post to be removed so why would I call you that? You're not trying to falsely claim my joke led to murder or that it was harmful to the public either so again no reason to call you that.
Because if you don't laugh on cue like automatons, you're an SJW with no sense of humor and want to censor people. That's what conservatives have drilled into my head.
The mantra seems to be "I'm not offended! What are you complaining about?!"

That's very convenient. This special will magically cure people of their transphobia, and if there is any transphobia it's only because trans people brought it upon themselves for speaking out.
No they don't. And nothing will happen to Chappelle's career.
But it's not "outrage culture" he spends 3 specials deriding and taking the piss out of. It's trans people. He specifically says he's "team TERF". That's not a term used in reference to "outrage culture". It explicitly stands for "trans-exclusionary".
Not that I've seen the material (I have not much enjoyed what little I've seen of Dave Chappelle so have no inclination to watch), that could represent Chappelle accepting the designation he's been given ironically. The context being that trans activists can call people "TERF" for disagreeing with them irrespective of whether they are radical feminists (or, in some cases, perhaps even trans exclusionary).
Maybe... if this wasn't a follow up to him saying he agrees with J.K. Rowling on the matter. Unless that was ironic too. Chappelle doesn't seem to be on twitter being an asshole regarding trans issues and writing a book that involves a killer dressing up as a woman to lure in victims, like Rowling. And maybe he isn't even aware of her having done this, but many people in the trans community certainly are. So him saying he argees with her on trans issues it's not surprising this rubs a lot of people within that community the wrong way. Especially after apparently having made disparaging comments about trans people in previous specials already.
During the Daphne story he also deliberately calls himself transphobic. It is obvious to me that he is mocking the mobs calling him these terms. He does it to show it really has no meaning or basis in reality to him. He hangs with Daphne, has her open a show for him and genuinely wants to help her get a foothold as a comic and as a friend, but he is "transphobic" so...
I think of lot of these specials come from Dave hating social media entirely. He blames social media for Daphne's desth, and he constantly bashes twitter people specifically. I dont think he looks at twitter much but does see news of when shit happens from twitter because a lot of news programs bring up twitter posts.
