That's not what happened, but ok. You believe what you like.
I dont think you understand what censorship means if you believe that its somehow not censorship when a big company does it to a famous person. Yes, it is censorship. That's what the word means.
I actually do understand what censorship means. Which is why it's so hilarious to hear people insist that Netflix chosing to not contract with Dave Chappelle is censorship. By your definition of censorship almost everyone is being censored.
The 2nd sentence is the important bit. A lot of people provably want to watch Chapelle as evidenced by his popularity and sales, but the employees demand the show be taken down despite that. You are implying that i believe any selection process at all is censorship which again seems disingenuous or misunderstands what the word is commonly understood to mean.
If you subscribe to the idea that Chappelle has the right to be paid by netflix, then so do I. Where's my money?
If you're OK with with protestors at Netflix doing it, then surely its OK for protestors at Youtube, Apple, a TV network or a comedy club to do the same. They can do it at a newspaper, a podcast, a radio station. Everything in a capitalist society is run for profit by some commercial entity. So what's the difference between whatever you call censorship and this? Suppressing distribution IS censorship.
And obviously I didn't say everyone has the right to be paid by Netflix. This is again just arguing in bad faith or woefully ignorant of how the world works. No, Netflix has the right to pay whomever they choose, which as a for-profit corporation, they will generally do based on how much of an audience you can pull to their platform. They pay Chapelle because he's funny and people like watching him.. not because he has "the right" to be paid. They pay him in exchange for something that Chapelle produces, not as a free handout. If you can convince a million people to pay to watch you get on a soapbox and cry about transphobia, then perhaps Netflix would sign a deal with you and pay you as well.
This is a naive take. Should every minority opinion be given the front page of netflix, regardless of the harm pushing it might leave in it's wake? Or just TERFs?
Anti-trans violence and suicidality is a major issue and speech around it needs to be cognizant of that. At best in his special Chappelle does a poor job of recognizing this be it because he is maligned, uninformed, or just unclear; Advocating that we should continue amplifying it's message as some insular censorship issue is utterly silly.
