'SNL' fans decry Dave Chappelle hosting announcement: 'What the hell Lorne?!'

A good booking. Fuck off OP.

Lol

Glad I stopped calling myself a liberal and having to defend these idiots.

Oh my, I forgot. This is DataLounge, the home for racist and TRANSPHOBIC gays.

Phobia: an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical FEAR of a particular object, class of objects, or situation

Why are we surprised at the FEARFUL Chappelle being invited to host SNL. Remember, this is the same show that didn’t hold ugly ass overrated Michael Che accountable for sharing those horrendous jokes about Gymnast Simone Biles sexual assault.

Dave Chappelle is not the enemy. FUCK OFF

They shouldn't be outraged about the "transphobic" stuff. They should be outraged that this guy is not, and has never been, funny. Then again, neither has SNL. So, perfect casting, indeed. Carry on.

r4, you’re a transphobic piece of shit!

R6, You have an IQ below 90 and personality problems. OCD trolling one of them. Reliance on binary thinking.

Chappell has said worse things about Jews, women, and Asian men than of trans folks. He’s an equal opportunity offender, like Don Rickles. The only group he won’t mock are Muslims.

They desperately needed someone funny.

R8 Cause Chappell doesn't have a death wish. But let OP loose on the "transphobic entertainers" and we could play catch up. Bat shit crazy.

R9, why break their tradition of being of-the-moment, unfunny, mainstream dogshit?

Oh no, some people tweeted about it! oh nos! Can we sink this fucking Twitter shit already? A minority of a minority of a minority. Who the fuck cares what they think?

R10 Also, he’s Muslim himself, and got away with some Kanye level shit about an alien species he calls “Space Jews” who’ve come to inflict harm and conquer the world, but since it’s a “joke,” no harm, no foul.

Breaking news! Comedian makes fun of people. Some people get their feelings hurt as a result.

None of this has ever happened before!

Team Dave.

If you don't like it, don't watch.

Oh gawd get a load of Grandpa still using the "Team ______" thing.

He’s funny as hell . Will be watching it for the first time in years and probably for the last.

I can see why r17. It has been absolute shit this year, just really abysmal shit that a brokedown, decaying outhouse would be embarrassed by. Just horrible pretty much every minute. This will probably be the first funny show this year, and yeah, maybe the last one.

R16 is that all you have? Proof again, sub 85 IQ.

I was assured by Datalounge that the TRANSTAPO was the most powerful force in the Universe.

And that was no greater problem on this Earth than CANCEL CULTURE!!!

And now it seems Dave Chapelle isn't canceled after all!

Whaddaya know!

I hope they bring back Julia Sweeney as “Pat” for this episode.

That stupid show’s cast is now made up of non-binary pronoun freaks who will probable refuse to perform their shitty material on the show in protest.

"Having Dave Chappelle host SNL again is a slap in the face to trans people, including one of their own new cast members. What the hell Lorne?!"

Which new cast member is trans and was slapped quite viciously by Chappelle?

Actually, I think they're nonbinary, r23, although I could be wrong. And I don't think they've had their "moment" yet, so it seems like Lorne is the one slapping them. And honestly, a decent sketch featuring the nonbinary and Dave Chappelle could be very funny if everybody doesn't collapse into a heap of terror and trauma beforehand.

“Transphobia”, “Islamphobia” are such misnomers. A phobia is an irrational fear outsized to the actual threat. No one “fears” trans people or Muslims, we are just sick of their shit.

SNL is total garbage now, it’s not exactly a coup that he’s hosting at this point.

More like a rescue mission r26, and I do have some hope for him there.

White Millennials created him. He made them feel woke.

Dave Chappelle made White Millennials feel woke? Really? That is what happened? That is the explanation for Dave Chappelle's career? White Millennials wanting to feel woke? Really?

According to TRAs, EVERYTHING is transphobic so the trannies will just have to deal.

Lorne will muzzle him. On the other hand, 80s era SNL would let Chappelle have carte blanche on skit content… Space Jews, trans-Chinese black dude, Impossible Burger vaginas, etc.

This will end in tears and misgendering.

You get a gender. And YOU get a gender. AND YOU get a gender.

ThanksOP, for the opportunity to block so many Klangrannies in one post!

I honestly am not sure which or who count as Klangrannies in this context. Chappelle fans. Chappelle foes. Which witch is which?

I’m looking forward to the episode because I find Dave hilarious.

R12 That's what I took away from this. The L.A. Times paid someone to scour Twitter for aggrieved remarks from random nobodies and publish them as a piece?

I'm most offended by the nepotism baby who had their parents get them this journalist gig, and the newspaper enabling them. That's all.

SNL really is shit. Hologram Bea Arthur in a grass skirt and coconut bra could host and maybe I’d watch.

I hate to see it die but Lorne either needs to go or the show needs to retool.

[quote] who will probabl[y] refuse to perform their shitty material on the show in protest.

We should get so lucky. Every show this year has been absolutely abysmal and downright dreadful. The writing has been horrendous. There has been nothing funny or clever about nearly all of the drivel they have put out there. Let Chappelle go for it. It couldn’t possibly be any worse and might be significantly better.

Everyone has had it with the trans bullshit. It might have been different if trans people didn’t make it a point of pride to be assholes to everyone, including potential allies.

Now you have no allies.

I'm a liberal, I support Trans rights and I don't have a problem with Dave Chappelle.

I disagree with Dave Chappelle. I'm sure he'll do a great job on SNL as always. Chappelle is funny, he's smart, he doesn't go around freaking out over Trans and saying the horrible things the TERFs around here do. He's not crazy and mean and stupid the way they are, he's a good person. He's a thoughtful person with whom I disagree on this issue.

It's fine. If any of you TERF ladies were brilliant comedians, you might not be such cunts either.

Sticks and Stones is the show that the trans activists were the most outraged over, yet he treats them with kid gloves compared to other groups he targets —namely women, Jews, Asians, and white people in general. He even mocks victims of child molestation in that show, yet the other targets of his jokes have not boycotted his shows or threatened him with violence. Only the trans activists have.

R42- True. Speaking from whatever authority I have as someone who was molested as a child, I still love that joke.

R43 I think Dave mentioned he himself was molested by a clergy member but even that statement had a punchline, so I’m not sure if it really happened or was just another joke. That said, his child molestation jokes seem like gallows humor from the victim’s perspective, which is why I agree that the jokes are funny and not offensive.

Look for the trans genocide numbers to leap to a new high this Saturday night. It’s gonna be a bloodbath. No tranny is safe!!!

I'm hoping Joel Kim Booster hosts this year. Would be fun watching him and Bowen Yang together again.

Speaking of JKB, he fucking rocked on Celebrity Jeopardy!!

Trans "women" are white straight men. It's a fucking joke how these violently misogynistic, authoritarian cunts are being made out to be victims.

He asked in his last show why black people keep beating up Asians? He said white women have nasty feet. Yet no one cared. But make one joke about the trans community and you should never be allowed to appear in public again.

[quote]Chappell has said worse things about Jews, women, and Asian men than of trans folks.

List some.

[quote]He’s an equal opportunity offender, like Don Rickles. The only group he won’t mock are Muslims.

Or black men. Which means he's not an equal opportunity offender, doesn't it, genius?

[quote]He even mocks victims of child molestation in that show

You mean the stuff where he's defending R Kelly?

The guy has defended Chris Brown, too. I can't find any of the Asian insults in his act that you guys are talking about, just a joke about blacks beating them up, and of course there's the sexist stuff about how women deserve to be harassed if they wear something revealing, plus more I'm sure I don't know about.

[quote] Chappell has said worse things about Jews, women, and Asian men than of trans folks.

[quote]List some.

OK R49: He’s compared Jews to malicious aliens who’ve invaded earth. He portrayed pro-choice women as hypocrites and said women are “no good” for sex after age 36. In another show, he lectured about how Asian men in Japan and the Philippines were bombed/colonized into emasculated “lady boys” by the West (honestly, this came off as more of a lecture than a joke.)

Your turn now R49 - what’s the worst thing Dave’s said about trans folks?

Dave Chapelle is a bitter motherfucker.

Fingers crossed that he’ll be in a sketch with lady boy Bowen Yang.

R49

Chappelle has probably more brutally made fun of his own community than any other. Years ago, he had an extended bit about a baby on the street at 3 am in the hood, and the punchline was that the baby was selling crack. I take it you've never watched his standup or his show.

I swore off watching SNL last year since it's been getting increasingly useless. It used to be that the first few sketches of the night were solid, but they haven't even had that for years. I'll be watching Chappelle's night though, both because he's hilarious and because I'm sick to the teeth of the authoritarian T. They can't stand being the butt of a joke because they know their existence is a joke.

True, R54. Also, numerous sketches on The Chappelle show ridiculed ghetto black men, so much so that he had to take a mental health break when he realized a large part of his fan base were racist white people who laughed at, not with him..

Any time you read the word 'transphobic' replace it with the word 'truthful' to get back to sanity. It works every time.

He's funny, but yeah, a lot of his material is uncomfortably nasty (but not the trans stuff).

As to his not having been cancelled: I guess black trumps trans in the intersectional Olympics.

There’s unrest at 30 Rock, Page Six hears, over the decision to sign up Dave Chappelle to host “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.

We’re told that some staff writers are so furious that the comedy superstar — who has made transphobic and homophobic jokes — has been chosen to helm the iconic show that they’re sitting out the episode.

“They’re not going to do the show,” an insider told Page Six. “𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑦𝑐𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔.”

But Chappelle’s rep told us that there was nothing to suggest that there was a boycott when they attended writers’ meetings this week.

“The room was full of writers. They all pitched ideas and they seemed very excited about it…. Dave is looking to have some fun,” they told us.

After the announcement, “SNL” writer Celeste Yim reportedly wrote on Instagram Stories: “I’m trans and non-binary. I use they/them pronouns. Transphobia is murder and it should be condemned.”

[quote]Several Twitter users pointed out that Chappelle is slated to host "SNL" the same season the sketch comedy series hired its first nonbinary cast member, Molly Kearney.

"Nonbinary" my ass. She's a fat Irish DYKE.

Again…Chappelle is NOT transphobic. He made cute jokes about trans women having “impossible pussies” (which sounds like a compliment, if anything) and simply pointed out some biological facts. He even did an elegy to his trans friend Daphne in a recent act. Yes, he’s been vicious towards other minority groups, including his own race, but keep in mind, he was raised by educated parents in the suburbs and is critical of certain black people who (unlike his parents), don’t give a shit about their kids. I don’t agree with some of what he says, but he has a right to airing his opinions. That said, his lecturing during his stand-up act is pretentious and annoys me; he should stick to telling jokes.

The wokies have hijacked the Democratic Party. They are starting to devolve into the same nonsense as the MAGAtards.

He'll be the only funny thing about SNL in over a decade. Lorne knows people aren't tuning in and he is desperately trying to save this overrated "institution."

I'm more pissed that they hired a so-called "non-binary" performer. Fucking delusional bullshit.

And Taleb Kwali hates Jews way more than Dave hates transgenders.

Kanye and Talib are angry idiots (they should have just stuck to music where they whine and shut their mouths, both are mentally ill messes who live on social media). That said, Dave never seemed homophobic or transphobic, he makes fun of everyone including black straight men. Most stand-ups are liberal and intelligent and many have gay associates being they work in cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, etc.

How do all these wokesters who proclaim they are all about peace, love and inclusion rationalize the hateful attitude of the transgenders towards women online and in real iife?

[quote] After the announcement, “SNL” writer Celeste Yim reportedly wrote on Instagram Stories: “I’m trans and non-binary. I use they/them pronouns. Transphobia is murder and it should be condemned.”

Lorne should fire her ass.

I'm sick of these WOKE cunts holding us all hostage.

You don't like it? There's the door. Fucking LEAVE!!!

R64 I believe Dave is buddies with Black Star, but as far as I know Taleb and Yasiin have simply criticized Israel for their occupation of the West Bank. On the other hand Dave lumps all Jews together so I think he is definitely anti-semitic. Compares them all to dangerous space aliens. The timing of their appearance on SNL so close to the Ye controversy doesn’t help. The trans controversy is a red herring.

I'd like to know which sketches Celeste Yim wrote.

I don't think Dave would have had as long a career if he was truly anti-Semitic given how prominent Jewish comedians are in the standup scene. He would have been blacklisted like Mel Gibson or pressured to apologize like Whoopi and Nick Cannon. But also I think Jewish performers themselves opened up the floodgates by making themselves into caricatures and openly mocking Jews in front of a gentile audience. It's like how Black comedians made fun of Black people and casually dropped N bombs in front of predominately white audiences (like Chappelle does) and made others think it was okay. Both have been criticized in their communities as minstrelsy.

[quote]But also I think Jewish performers themselves opened up the floodgates by making themselves into caricatures and openly mocking Jews in front of a gentile audience.

You could say the same thing about black comedians, but I think there’s a double standard about Jewish comedians joking about black people in a derogatory way. This probably has to with Jews being seen as white and thus privileged over black people. Imagine what would happen if a white comedian compared black people to invasive, destructive space monsters.

[quote] Transphobia is murder and it should be condemned.

The idea that transphobia is literal murder is the greatest lie of our time.

Go dilate r49!!

It's all so stupid. I don't care about his personal opinions, treatment of people, etc. I don't immerse myself in famous people's private lives or care what their opinions are, I only care to see them do whatever they're being paid to perform.

Aside- I saw him live the night the Smollett scandal broke (V-day, 2019? 2018?). He informed the audience (bc he doesn't allow phones, none of us knew) and proceeded to do a (obviously unplanned) bit about the Smollett thing- it was hilarious and he is truly talented.

[quote]Celeste Yim is a beautiful writer living in New York City.

Who calls themselves beautiful when writing their own bio? Conceited much?

Being against trans extremism is not transphobia.

[quote]Celeste is a staff writer for Saturday Night Live. Celeste was a 2021 Lambda Literary Playwriting Fellow and the 2019 recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Canadian Women Artists’ Award for Playwriting.

Wait, so he’s non-binary and trans but accepted an award for women?!? You can’t have it both ways.

R77 Celeste is a bio chick who uses They/Them pronouns.

He said he’s trans.

No wonder SNL has been terrible. All these trans-identified writers are not funny.

According to Yim, back when they still identified as a woman:

[quote]I deal with the occasional blatant sexism, of course, but I think the woman-related barriers in writing and comedy appear in very insidious ways. Male superiors can be condescending, they can overlook your work and value, and they can make assumptions about you because of the way you look.

Celeste is now “non-binary.” How convenient!

How can Celeste Yim be both trans and non-binary. Being trans by definition acknowledges that a binary exists, surely?

Please stop talking sense, R82.

r82 It's how it has been with lots of female loons (nothing new in 2022) that they're "both tranny and non-binary" and that because you don't have to have matching pronouns and gender identity, you can be a tranny and still use they/them. They can conveniently claim to be men when it suits them, but deny that they're men but non-binary when the topic is "evil (white) men". Male version: freaky Ezra Miller.

And look how that greasy gross "trans" Ellen Page cunningly goes by "he/they" instead of just "he/him".

[quote]After the announcement, “SNL” writer Celeste Yim reportedly wrote on Instagram Stories: “I’m trans and non-binary. I use they/them pronouns. [bold]Transphobia is murder[/bold] and it should be condemned.”

Then why is they still alive?

Well, it looks like the cast is sticking with Dave. Good for them. It sounds like their histrionic, diversity-hire writer isn’t a good fit for SNL anyhow, and should be writing for Pink News or Bustle instead. Poor Michael Che — no wonder he’s been drinking whiskey on set.

Remember when Aidy, Bowen, and someone else protested Elon hosted?

They think Lorne cares?

I hope all those writers quit. Those pitch sessions must be exhausting.

Aidy and Bowen didn’t get any consequences for sitting out Elon’s show. I hope they weren’t paid.

Transactivist Propaganda!!!! Total Bullshit!

Dave's fans will NEVER cancel him, you dumb cunts!!! Just you delusional fake females!!!

Nice try.

20 billion crippled trans women of color will die because Dave is hosting. Literally murder.

LOL. 92 replies in FOUR days! Hahahahah. "DAVE CHAPPELLE IS CANCELLED!!!!"!

Mmmmmyeah. Nice try.

No one gives a shit!!!

INCLUDING NBC, HUNNY!

R82

Non-binary is included under the "trans" umbrella, which, of course, cheapens the concept of "trans" since "trans" implies someone is transitioning into something else, not just getting a bad haircut and adopting silly pronouns. I'm sure some actual trans have a problem with this, but they get harassed the same as the rest of us if they say anything.

From a 2017 Vice article by Celeste Yim about her schoolgirl crush on Jimmy Fallon:

[quote]As a woman of colour and a comedian who cares now about politics and representation, in hindsight, I am a little disappointed (and very embarrassed) that my greatest heroes weren't women who made way for other women. I was a steadfast Falpal who exclusively idolized successful, white, male comedians: all things I am mostly not today.

Talk about red flags…

of course, this would become focused on the trans biz to overshadow his numerous other faults.

It's an odd bit for his socially conservative politics that embolden the far right while his personal hypocrisy is representive of the far left.

he's not a bastian of free speech, he has several triggers of his own and untouchable groups within his sects, ah, set.

just s the terfs have moved on to engage the public in the rest of their platform that closely matches the platform of the religious reich. trans is the crybullying call to strike out at everything else they dislike, and keep telling oyu they hate it for all but yet only target gays and lesbians.

[quote] Any time you read the word 'transphobic' replace it with the word 'truthful' to get back to sanity. It works every time.

No it doesn't you bitter, selfish, humorless cunt, look at the way it has never worked for you.

Replace "transphobic" with these words and you'll be far more accurate.

"anti-Semitic"

"homophobic"

"racist"

"sexist"

You're either a HUGE TROLL or you're a dumb cunt or both. Your choice, of course.

"I'm sure some actual trans have a problem with this, but they get harassed the same as the rest of us if they say anything."

Are you sure you're not a straight man?

I ask because you speak with such confident authority about a subject you have no knowledge of.

Like when a friend of mine in high school said homosexuals couldn't have sex face to face.

Because apparently as a virgin heterosexual he know everything there was to know about gay sex positions.

R98, congrats on such a great parody of a transtapo loon post.

(transphobic = truthful, works every time)

Here, watch:

[quote]While some celebrated the controversial comedian's imminent return to the show, others condemned "SNL" for giving him a platform in the wake of his truthful remarks.

[quote]Chappelle has come under fire for including truthful material in his stand-up routines

[quote][R4], you’re a truthful piece of shit!

I love Dave.Chapelle. If you want safe humor watch Sesame Street.

I’m going to shoot my TV if he’s allowed to come on SNL this Saturday. He better not be, that transphobic CUNT!! NBC, do better, you need to intervene.

Go, DAVE!!!!

I'll be supporting him 100%.

Fuck the TRANS LOONS and their militant agenda.

No more kow tow-ing to their demands!

FIFY hunny bunny!

Go, DAVE!!!!

I'll be supporting him 100%.

Fuck the ANTI-TRANS HATERS and their militant agenda.

No more kow tow-ing to their demands!

Things are not as black and white and simplistic as you imagine them to be, Gilead Cunt.

I support Trans 1000%.

I am not Trans.

I love Dave Chappelle.

I hate you moronic trans-haters and your endlessly yapping CUNT MOUTHS.

WE NEED SOME MOTHERFUCKING MURIEL AROUND HERE.

I'll level with you: I'm confused.

Democrats must now turn themselves into Republicunt scumbags in order to satisfy Trans Haters.

They will back candidates who are against abortion rights because they support Trans Hate.

They will shitcan Marriage Equality for all of us because those candidates support Trans Hate.

They will sacrifice anything and all of us, Obamacare, Social Security, the Environment, and the foundations of Democracy itself. It's okay with these "ladies" if they sacrifice all of it, and all of us along with it, because 0.6% of the population might sometimes be using public toilets where these ladies may be taking a piss.

They're taking the piss all right - all over us. If they didn't already exist to be used and exploited for this insane and anti-humane purpose, Boris would have had to invent them. He sure lucked out!

You are bad Dataloungers, bad citizens and bad people.

R107 you've actually seen this happening?! You've seen Democrats backing candidates that are against abortion, gay marriage, healthcare, etc., if they say they're against trans people? Where?! Who?! This isn't a thing, you sound nuts. If someone was okay with voting in someone against all that, they'd just vote a Republican in and they likely weren't a Democrat to begin with. I've never once heard of a Democrat like you describe because if they were like that, they'd be a Republican.

It's the TRANS HATE trolls and they will tell you this themselves.

Nothing matters to them except HATING TRANS. Any candidate who HATES TRANS gets their vote. Any candidate who doesn't hate Trans does not get their vote. I'm not saying they're an actual voting bloc or a huge group (praise Jebus) I'm saying this is who they are and what they make absolutely no secret of right here on the Datalounge.

Read their insane TRANS HATE threads. They like DeSantis and have lovely things to say about him. He hates gays and will kill us all, end gay marriage, nullify gay adoptions - all of it and these fucking TRANS HATING cunts don't give a fuck.

Go see for yourself.

r109, are you trolling or are you actually fucking insane?

He’s actually fucking insane. He’s been in a lot of threads posting the same thing over and over calling everyone anti-trans CUNTS.

Is it on tonight?

Yes!

"Many trannies died to bring us this entertainment.”

Saturday the 12th. SNL

Today so-called liberals are yesterday’s conservatives — eager to silence, and even censor, artists.

If he makes one tranny joke tonight, 2 trillion crippled trannys of color who are prostitutes will be murdered by terfs and members of the Republican Party. This endless genocide of crippled trans women of color must end.

He did good tonight. 👍🏻

R117, how DARE you call them “prostitutes”…they do SURVIVAL SEX WORK. They’ll suffocate if they don’t suck a dick and get oxygen from the balls!!!!

I'm not the slightest bit insane. I think simply unpleasant is more what you're looking for, you obsessive bathroom freak.

I'm very unpleasant for you, and to you. That's because I dislike you. I have seen you dragging your obsessive Trans Hate all over the place around here. I'm sick of it and I'm sick of you. We never had this kind of thing before. Nobody bothered with Trans one way or another and we certainly don't hate them at every available and UNavailable opportunity. I distrust you and what you "bring" the datalounge. Obviously you're full of shit, why are you here?

Never mind, you probably have no idea why you'e really doing it. Just put me on ignore. I'm sure I've put you on ignore tons of times in the past few years. Eventually I send you and all the toilet freaks to the Datalounge Dinah Shore Memorial Lounge. Enjoy.

Still love Dave Chappelle. Still support Trans 100%. Still know you girls to be vicious, lying, unhappy shitheads who can't handle a few Trans. Weak Cunts.

^^^ That's for number 111, I think. The paranoid diagnostician one, although I suppose that's part of the TERF thing.

"Today so-called liberals are yesterday’s conservatives — eager to silence, and even censor, artists."

What an apt to say on a thread where so-called censorship means a bigot is being given 90 minutes of broadcast airtime to spew his uncensored bigotry.

What a special little snowflake you must be to consider that censorship.

This may sound juvenile but I really wonder if Chappell is so bitter because he’s so damn ugly.

Most comedians are ugly and bitter with anger issues. They don't tend to be nice people. Do you think pretty and happy people could be good comics?

And ones who are a bit good-looking like Jim Carrey and John Mulaney have severe mental issues.

[quote]"A war is being waged on trans people (and trans KIDS) every single day, and he helps it grow."

They need to tone down this rhetoric. Nobody takes statements like that seriously.

The SNL writing staff is boycotting this week's episode? Chappelle could not have paid for this. He has his own writing staff. Guts, I need a black tranny game show, a black sitcom parody, a Black Trump satire...

I'm very excited for this show.

Lorne knows what he's doing.

I haven't watched SNL in over a decade. Seriously. It sucks that badly.

But I'll tune in tonight, just for Dave Chappelle.

As much as I hate to use the use of “woke” to describe anyone on the left, it has become the perfect shorthand to describe cowardly narcissists with victim complexes who avoid confrontation by rounding up flying monkeys to fight their battles for them. Many of them are straight people who assume “queer” or “trans” identities. If the aggrieved writers on the show had any balls, they’d stay and make sure to sabotage the episode rather than run away. As for that one straight woman who cosplays as non-binary and queer who said transphobia is “murder,” I have a feeling that the actual gay cast members pray she never returns.

[quote]"Having Dave Chappelle host SNL again is a slap in the face to trans people, including one of their own new cast members. What the hell Lorne?!"

Who's the trans cast member? Are they talking about that non-binary woman? Because you can't be trans and non-binary. You can't change genders when you claim you don't have a gender. Make it stop.

The non-binary who’s boycotting the show is a writer, the other is a cast member who apparently is NOT boycotting? Ironically, there’s a cast member who’s been sneaking in brilliant parodies about the perils of “woke” policies in the workforce by using stealthy analogies for trans people. Check out the sketches “Eyes” and “Chucky.” Those are good examples of how to be publicly critical of taboo subjects without being cancelled.

Good point, R131. I wonder if same person wrote both of those sketches. Sarah Sherman was the central character in both sketches.

R132 Both sketches also had a similar weirdness and absurdity to them — I have no doubt it was the same person. There’s a stealth TERF in the writers room!

r129, those are a lot of words to hate the tolerant.

[quote] there’s a cast member who’s been sneaking in brilliant parodies about the perils of “woke” policies in the workforce by using stealthy analogies for trans people

I love that!

I hope she teams up with Dave, and mocks the hell out of them tonight.

R134, woke people aren't tolerant. They just hide behind fake "tolerance" to make people bend to their wishes and adhere to the tenets of their particular religion.

No, history has shown that Republicunts ridicule Democrats for being tolerant and inclusive. Demonizing a small group and hanging the entire party is what Republicunts do.

R132 OK — I looked her up and I’m convinced its her. She satirizes cancel culture as well:

Woke people have a lot in common with evangelicals. They both proselytize and want people to fall in line with their religious beliefs. They both believe they are pure and better than other people.

Hahaha, Go Dave and Sarah… we’ll be watching tonight.

I think “non-binary” is stupidly meaningless and attention-getting.

It’s pretty much “Look at me, look at me, look at me…. WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME???”

I really don't think "woke" people are left-wing. Leftist don't believe in censorship and especially top-down from big corporations. Anarchy is a form of leftism. So most comedians are left-wing in the truest sense. Democrats have been never left-wing at any point, they are agents of the corporate elite and represent their interests, yes they are the better party in regards to civil rights and they don't pander to Evangelical nutjobs. "Woke" (which was ironically appropriated from African-Americans as white people usually do) originally meant to be socially conscious. But as soon as it hit public consciousness via Twitter, white liberals started using the term and it became repurposed to become another term for being politically correct and performative gestures. Political correctness exists on both sides and is used as a social shaming technique. Conservatives were actually big on it for decades and had their book burnings and witch hunts all around "think about the CHILDREN!" So don't give Rethugs and MAGAts a pass because they have their own version of it. Whenever white straight people especially straight men are criticized, they get offended and say "that's racist to white people" or "Not all men are...."

Duckman was underrated. Show aged extremely well in regards to current events.

Did the show start already?

Kudos to Chappelle and Netflix for not caving to these freaks. I am very much looking forward to tonight’s show.

Is anyone watching?

Has he already made a monkeypox joke about gay men? He did one of those a few months ago.

It's not on and the watch thread is ^^^

Chappelle's opening was hilarious!

That has got to be the longest opening monologue in SNL history.

20+ minutes, I think.

I hardly use the term "brilliant" when referring to comedic monologues, but that was absolutely fucking brilliant.

It was a very well done show.

My favorite skit was black heaven. That was hilarious.

I hated the musical guests. That's just not my cup of tea.

I haven't seen SNL in years, so it was interesting seeing the new talent.

The Latino guy during Weekend Update was very cute, and quite funny.

So was the last skit full of cast members who boycotted doing the show live?

It seems like it was.

I watched it, and where was the transphobia? His 15-minute dog whistle in the opening monologue was about “Hollywood Jews,” not transgender people. At most, he implied that a Jewish mafia is the power behind those seeking to cancel him. But, as always, he made it across that particular tightrope by cleverly speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

R153, no, Molly was probably the only one boycotting in that pre-tape. The 3 guys who are in the Please Don't Destroy videos don't usually appear live. On Twitter, I saw it was suggested that Molly was given a pre-tape so she didn't have to appear live with Chappelle. I wonder if the boycotters also refused to go to the afterparty.

The guy who does the Trump character is AMAZING.

He is so spot-on in his mannerisms, it's actually scary.

Well — an alliance between the gender-critical, anti-woke Sarah Sherman and Dave never happened, but as it turns out she is Jewish and may have been one of the cast refusing to work with him.

[quote] Well — an alliance between the gender-critical, anti-woke Sarah Sherman and Dave never happened

Yeah, there was absolutely nothing trans-related on this show.

It was Jews this and Jews that.

I was surprised, but Lorne probably told him that trans was off-limits.

I was making a snack during one of the skits, but I did hear a comment about monkeypox.

R158, no way did Lorne tell Dave that the trans topic was off limits. Dave said previously he wasn't going to mention men who present as women in his standup for the foreseeable future. That is all.

Trans activists need to understand that women, gays and racial minorities all have been made fun of forever often by ourselves too. So trans people shouldn't be protected. Instead they should advocate for trans comedians to be get representation. The idea that trans should be this protected class is farfetched. Jews don't care if they're made fun but only care if they're called evil, greedy and Jesus killers that rule the world. You can make fun of people without trying to incite hate or violence. This isn't a minstrel show.

[quote]Instead they should advocate for trans comedians to be get representation.

You're right but this would be self defeating, as anyone who is into identity politics has absolutely no sense of humour.

R160, are you on some heavy medication or do you normally speak to other adults like Bobby Jindal doing a bad Mr Rogers imitation?

“We shouldn’t expect @DaveChappelle to serve as society’s moral compass, but disturbing to see @nbcsnl not just normalize but popularize #antisemitism,” said a tweet from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt today. Why are Jewish sensitivities denied or diminished at almost every turn? Why does our trauma trigger applause?”

At the start of his routine, Chappele unfolded a small piece of paper and read from it, saying, “‘I denounce antisemitism in all its forms. And I stand with my friends in the Jewish community.’ And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time.”

Then he got to the meat of the bit. Chappelle noted that he had come to learn that there are “two words in the English language that you should never say together in sequence: ‘The’ and ‘Jews.’”

“I’ve been to Hollywood and — no one get mad at me — I’m just telling you what I saw,” he said, adding a signature pause. “It’s a lot of Jews. Like a lot. But that doesn’t mean anything! You know what I mean? Because there are a lot of Black people in Ferguson, Missouri, it doesn’t mean we run the place.”

He added the “delusion that Jews run show business” is “not a crazy thing to think,” but “it’s a crazy thing to say out loud.” He also said of West, “It’s a big deal, he had broken the show business rules. You know, the rules of perception. If they’re Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob. If they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.”

Chappelle finished his long monologue by underlining his point.

“It shouldn’t be this scary to talk about anything,” he said.. “It’s making my job incredibly difficult. And to be honest with you, I’m sick of talking to a crowd like this. I love you to death and I thank you for your support. And I hope they don’t take anything away from me… whoever they are.”

The Forward, a Jewish-focused nonprofit media outlet, said Twitter reaction to Chappelle’s routine was mixed. It noted The Jerusalem Post accused the comedian of “engaging in antisemitic tropes.” Adam Feldman, theater critic for Time Out New York, tweeted: “That Dave Chappelle SNL monologue probably did more to normalize anti-Semitism than anything Kanye said.” Screenwriter Amalia Levari tweeted, disapprovingly, “So cool that SNL gave Chappelle the stage to deliver a TED Talk about how antisemitic dog-whistles are good, actually.”

Wrote Rabbi Josh Yuter, an influencer on Jewish Twitter: “𝐴𝑠 𝐼 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒’𝑠 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑢𝑒, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑘𝑒𝑦 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑎𝑦 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑜𝑚.

Chappelle is fine. He's said his peace, he's done talking about it now.

I hate TERFs. I think they're dumb and weirdly puritanical I want them to go build their own site instead of using ours but they refuse to take responsibility for themselves and they're either too stupid, lazy or cheap to hire someone to set it up for them. I don' see why JK Rowling wouldn't help them out.

That doesn't mean I have a problem with Chappelle. He gets to say what he wants and then he gets to shut the fuck up and move on. I wish these TERF bitches had enough sense to do the same.

I don’t give a shit about Dave Chappell. Fuck him, I say.

But I do care about the fact that our mainstream “gay rights” organizations are now obsessed with trans people - I’m talking to you HRC - and have relegated gay rights to second or third level priority.

Kanye West = Psychological disorders

Dave Chappelle = Psychological disorders

Any questions?

Most people on Reddit are on Chappelle's side too. Most people don't care about political correctness deep down. They simply go along with it either in real life or online for their reputation. It's based around shame culture. But people are tired of it because it's not beneficial to society to pressure people to censor themselves or apologize for one little mistake. Unless someone committed a serious crime or invited violence, it's ridiculous to be so hung up on what a famous person says or does. The media has been obnoxious about this. There's a serious disconnect between mainstream media and corporate ideology and what regular people actually think or want. It's seriously two different worlds.

[quote] It's seriously two different worlds.

And obviously 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 hypocritically and inconsistently applied

Agree, R167.

To me it feels like the mainstream media and corporate America WANT people to censor themselves. Especially about the trans movement which used censorship and secrecy as a way to gain a foothold in the culture.

But if there had been less censorship about discussing transgenderism then maybe this 18-year old wouldn't be on TV talking about how she had a double mastectomy at 15 and now regrets it.

And that right there is the problem world. Twitter. Elon can't destroy it quickly enough.

Meh. Political Correctness can be a useful social too.

No, it is not permissible to go ranting the N word all over the place and you should be banned for it and removed from any platform. If it's found that you've done it in the past but not for many years, it depends on a lot of things. Justin Trudeau wearing blackface or brownface as a costume. Unacceptable currently, in the distant past is up for discussion. In Trudeau's case the Canadians let it go.

We put restrictions on other people all the time, some restrictions are better than others or we're more comfortable with them. They make sense to us at the time. It's all subject to change. The acceptability of Gay Marriage changed faster than I've ever seen anything change in this country in my life. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.

Culture wars trolls, your anti-woke shit is so 6 days ago.

Delicious tears of right wing TERFs.

r171, that's mighty white of you.

Thank you, R174, you too.

The rabbi at R170 pretty much nailed it.

R143 But honey, the left wing is worse than evangelicals and republicans now. They have taken their bullshit and made it law. And women do not have cocks, nobody can change sex, and children should not be using untested, off label medications to destroy their bodies. BUT, these are truths for liberals now, and they are just as stupid and unbelievable as religious stupidity.

R173 The funniest part is the trannys whinging how he never mentioned them, so they had nothing new to bitch and complain about. they all have persecution complexes and are not justified.

Is that your one man (or woman) show, R177? Are you Kara Dansky? In that case, I have to disappoint you - Trump and Tucker don't want to grab your pussy. Keep WoLFing, I heard you guys are now blaming Jews for "transing kids". Nice company you keep. Why don't you post something from your fellow TERF Jennifer Bilek?

R179 Truth hurts, but the bucks gotta keep rolling in. So attack, and lie. How do you sleep, knowing this is all fantasy bollocks.

Fuck thought and language police. You can think and say anything you want. It's when policy starts getting involved that people can start screaming about it but, even then, only at the people making the policy or supporting the policy. I remember the days when Democrats actually believed in free thought and speech. It was about ten years ago.

Hey, I love that Republicans are ferociously pro free speech. All the idiotic, bigoted things that the Trump candidates spewed out and Lindsey Graham’s premature ejaculation about his impending federal abortion ban led to the Democrats keeping the senate, after all. Free speech ROCKS!

R165

Second or third? You're very optimistic.

R165, those gay rights orgs are going to be vilified for promoting trans propaganda as stories such as the one at R169 increasingly become the focus of public attention.

In other news: apparently lesbians are desperate to suck dick. Delusion level: over 9000.

I missed Chappelle's last line in The Potato Hole sketch. What did he say? His accent was atrocious.

Is he "transphobic" or just making fun of trans people? I don't really like Dave Chappelle, but comedians do mock and make fun of a lot of different people, I don't see how anyone can do comedy in this environment.

I'm a gay man, and a Biden voting Democrat (and I voted straight blue ticket) and progressives are on target 99% of the time, but in this instance I do not agree with them. A man who "feels like" a woman is not a woman, and no biological man should be granted access to women's safe spaces, or in women's SPORTS. And why has this decision been made without the consent of ALL women??? Typical male prerogative, thinking men know what's best for women (because men have done so great by women throughout the entire sorry saga of humanity).

[quote] I'm a gay man, and a Biden voting Democrat (and I voted straight blue ticket)

Sure, Boris. How many rupees are they paying you to post? Why are the conservative anti-trans trolls still posting? Don’t these cisCUNTS know the election is over?

I think the reason there was only a red trickle in the mid-terms is that the Republican candidates didn’t emphasize enough how trans women in women’s sports is one of the biggest crises facing our country.

We need more than two parties. Most Republicans voted against gay marriage, so sorry, no excuse for gays to support them. Evangelicals who the GOP adores hates gays. People here need to be accountable if you don't like Democrats stance on trans then at least vote independent, Green or some other party. But supporting Republicans is inexcusable.

Nancy Pelosi is no longer Speaker of the House, R190.

Isn't she Speaker until January 3rd?

R193, yes. She's losing her power to a Republican but she has a few more weeks.

[quote] And why has this decision been made without the consent of ALL women???

Has any recent progressive program been undertaken with prior consultation and consent of those most affected ?

R195, what's "progressive" about letting men into female spaces? Transgenderism at its heart is a movement to benefit white males who like to cosplay as women.

Trans "women" are men. They're not women. Most of them are White. The fact these White straight men are applauded for calling women cunts and threatening them with violence if they don't agree with the redefinition of womanhood based on superficially that's being forced onto them is the acceptable face of misogyny.

[quote]Trans "women" are men. They're not women. Most of them are White.

To be fair, most of the US population is still white, so it only makes sense they'd be proportionally bigger in numbers. In Brazil, most MTFs are obviously black and brown for the same reason.

R198, and most of them are attracted to women because proportionally most men have an attraction to women.

Rachel Levine and Lia Thomas represent the average "transwoman". They are now the primary beneficiaries of LGBT, Inc.

They're not women regardless, R198 & R199. They're men. Womanhood is not a costume.

[quote] Womanhood is not a costume.

No. It's a weapon of mass destruction.

Based on what, R201? The vast majority of wars, genocides and political ideologies that have killed millions were not initiated by women.

If it’s not a costume then what is it? A feeling? You can’t just claim womanhood for yourself and not share.

Womanhood is a biological reality, R203. It's having xx chromosomes. A man wearing makeup and female clothes doesn't make him a woman. Women define womanhood. Not men. The utter arrogance of fucking White men arguing with women about the definition of womanhood is grotesque.

Biology can change. It’s a spectrum.

No, biology isn't a "spectrum." Women define womanhood. Not men. Most of you who support this misognistic shit wouldn't date a woman pretending to be a gay male and you certainly wouldn't tolerate her redefining gay male sexuality.

It’s fluid like a spectrum.

No, it isn't. Men are not women just because they wear make-up or a fucking skirt..

Educate yourself.

Educate myself on what, R209? On being a woman?! I can assure you. I'm more qualified on the subject than fucking men..

Yet some men are more woman than you are.

Based on what, R211? Superficially? Men pretending to be "women" are not women. They don't look like women. They don't have female proportions, female bone structure or female musculature. Their skin is not as smooth as women. Their inverted penis that's lubricated by bowel mucous and frequently necrotic doesn't function like an actual female vagina. They have no capacity to grow, birth or breastfeed children. Their "womanhood" washes off in the shower. Clearly you're trolling because no one is this stupid..

Transwomen ARE women. One more time louder for the people in the back. 👏🏼TRANSWOMEN 👏🏼ARE👏🏼WOMEN👏🏼!👏🏼

They're not. They're men, but it's obvious you're trolling because it's a different story, isn't it, when it comes to women pretending to be male..

Why would it be a different story? 👏🏼TRANSMEN👏🏼ARE👏🏼MEN👏🏼!!!!!!👏🏼

Yawn. Straight people are not the opposite sex just because White people say they are. [Insert appropriate smileys that retards think enforce their shit opinions]..

White people? I’m BIPOC, cisbitch.

I’m always shocked when transphilics appear on the DL. How did they get here? This is not a place for you, honey. This is not a home for the politically-correct. Go back to Facebook.

R41 Calling women "cunts", how liberal and progressive of you. I'm sure it's not cause you're jealous and would like to make a skin suit of them. Shouldn't you be off threatening to rape real women?

So R59 she's goes by they/them and claims trans but her website is celestrogen. Yeah, okay. And R60 how dare you, sir! Do you not see Molly's trucker hat? That makes her non binary. Good for her, she's unfunny and un cute but she figured out to make someone hire her, I ain't mad at you, gurl!

This is what happens when you let women dominate a comedy show.

SNL is really bad now.

R120 Wrong, Frankengash, ten years ago, trans were talked about on DL, esp when they shut down Michfest. They've oft been made fun of on here, and you're a fucking woman hating psycho. You'll vote for anyone as long as they hate women. Go fuck yourself.

Cis is a slur. If you don't like "cis" people, get off this gay men's site. And no, you're not bipoc, you're a white male like most trans. Now run along and call some women "cunts" to show how progressive you are, don't forget to dilate your frankengash.
