Ridiculous. If you watched his comedy specials, you know he hasn't said anything but facts.

[theguy-ksoi]

We all stand with Dave Chappelle no one stands at these people Netflix you just fire them and hire new people to be a hundred percent honest this is bullcrap

[VloggingWithDane]

Looks like Netflix is hiring. Time to put in those applications y’all.

[nannan]

Interesting, I don’t remember them protesting when Cuties was added to Netflix.

[kpCatz]

If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Freedom of speech

[berthaaustin]

I stand with Dave Chapple. No one is off limits in comedy.

[hoodpatrolstrains]

Dumbest thing but guess what if chappel special gets taking down ill cancel my NETFLIX AND SELL MY STOCKS ON

[martygraw]

Do you think any of them watched the special? There was NOTHING hateful about it

[UceMecca]

So Trans were okay when Dave made fun of white people and other groups. But he’s not allowed to make fun of Trans?? These people are confused. Literally!!

[jdwfenton]

These people don't want rights that the rest of us have. They want " special " rights.

[RizzlaBeats]

So...they are demonstrating against a Dave Chappelle special they havent even watched? They can NOT have watched the whole special if they are this angry...

[KillerQueensRyche]

so you're saying they're hiring?

[cynthiaguarino]

Those people need to put their big boy pants on and grow up.

The great irony is that Dave raises and exposes the VERY issues these folks are displaying in their attempt to Cancel him. As he said they don't LISTEN

[AnnaLVajda]

Women never thought drag queens were anti woman though?

[brittbritt]

I haven't seen Chapelle's show yet but seriously stop getting offended by everything. Your not worried about people being offended when it is literally in every movie, thrown in commercials in our kids faces. That is the real offense, not being g*y etc but having this crazy agenda to make everyone agree with it, influence kids etc. Let's go back to the 80's, 90's when you could laugh, joke and not get your panties in a bunch and not see this stuff everywhere.

[EwilAlien]

It's insane that a massive company in the entertainment industry is filled with snowflakes that protests some jokes from a stand-up comedy show. If they choose not to stand behind the freedom of artists, even if they insult someone, they should all hand in their resignation letter

[lockofmetal]

Just fire them & hire new workers.
Not like they're difficult to replace anyway.

This is probably another one of those, if you asked them they'd respond: "Actually, I didn't watch it myself..."

[disneydeefan]

OMG let them walk out...this is ridiculous!!!
