‘This Man Is A Catastrophe’: Dave Chappelle Finally Enters ‘Cancel Hell’ After Calling Monkeypox ‘Gay Disease’, Labelled As ‘Grotesquely Transphobic’ Who Feeds On Discrimination
Famous comedian Dave Chapelle gets in trouble for his jokes once again! David Khari Chappelle is a stand-up comedian and actor from the United States. His satirical comedy sketch show – Chappelle’s Show is well renowned. The show continued until the comic left in the middle of the third season’s filming. Following a break, Dave Chappelle resumed touring the country doing stand-up comedy. However, it seems that his relationship with the stand-up comedy may be in danger of getting canceled as well.
Comedian Dave Chappelle fumbles his words yet again
Dave Chappelle, the comedian, has been caught in a vicious circle of anti-cancel-culture standup humor for a number of years. Over the course of six Netflix specials, Dave Chappelle has defended himself against what he perceives as progressive attempts to have his explosive comedy canceled, all the while making fun of the queer and transgender communities and the Me Too movement and generally amplifying the offensive jokes and reactionary politics that sparked the initial backlash.
Dave Chappelle keeps ignoring that words have power
Again courting controversy, Dave Chappelle made comments that were viewed as homophobic and transphobic. When one of his gigs in Minneapolis had to be moved to a different location due to protests from the public, the problem recently had a snowball effect. The comic joined Chris Rock and Kevin Hart during a performance in New York City yesterday where he made a surprise appearance. This was due to following criticism from the public, a performance in Minneapolis had to be moved to a different location as he referred to the demonstrators as “transgender lunatics.”
Cancel culture is out to get the comedian for his jokes
Obviously, it does not take long for the famous cancel culture to catch up to the comic’s antics. Multiple tweets disregard his only defense which would be that all his jokes are just for the pure purpose of comedy. In contrast, other tweets address the virus and attempt to educate Twitter of all platforms about what it really does. Needless to say, connecting the LGBTQ+ community to an actual virus that harms people is not something that should be joked about.

We are literally living in the 80’s with super influential people calling monkey pox “the gay disease.” So yeah I would say it’s absolutely justified for Dave Chappelle to be made uncomfortable as he continues his transphobic and now homophobic rants that he claims is “comedy.”

Yes, Dave Chappelle is grotesquely transphobic. But let’s not forget that he *also* made a bunch of jokes defending Bill Cosby.

Dr Walensky: this quote was outrageously irresponsible. Conservatives obsess abt “groomers” & Dave Chappelle calls monkeypox a “gay disease.”
Many people assumed this quote meant gay people have spread monkeypox through sex with children. Is that true?https://t.co/crTmd2F82W pic.twitter.com/lBEhZyNiAn

Chappelle was attacked while performing at the Hollywood Bowl in May. According to a Page Six report, the spectator who assaulted him had a replica gun with a genuine knife inside of it. The attacker was identified as 23-year-old Isaiah Lee. As a part of the Netflix is a Joke event, Chappelle was giving a performance there. Some might call the comic brave while others may have other disheartening words for a description. In any case, he may have a lot to answer about if he even gets a chance to justify himself.
