This thread is already full of people who didn't read or understand the critique of Netflix as presented in the article. It's not an issue of "Dave Chappelle thinks a bad thing and should be punished" it's "Netflix promotes an equivocation that actively harms people".

> “This is not an argument with two sides. It is an argument with trans people who want to be alive and people who don’t want us to be,” Field added. “This all gets brushed off as offense though — because if we’re just ‘too sensitive’ then it is easy to ignore us.”

Went into the special before it hit the news because I like some of Chappelle's other work. I liked a few parts, and I didn't like others. I think it's totally super neato that Dave Chappelle has his personal opinions on trans people, but publicly playing the "just asking questions" game costs putting giving both sides on equal footing beforehand.

This is an irresponsible thing of Netflix to do, and silly to conflate with censorship. Yelling "I think there's a fire" in a crowded building causes as much harm as yelling "are we sure the building's really burning?" when it is. Absolutely think and say either if you want to, but know that when you amplify them it causes real social harm.
