Netflix employees 'walkout' in protest of new Dave Chappelle special, calling it 'transphobic'

Some Netflix workers on Wednesday participated in a walkout in protest of comedian Dave Chappelle’s new special "The Closer." Critics say the new special is offensive to transgender people and has the potential to instigate real-life violence.

I love that they all staged a walk out for Dave's special. But no walk out for Cuties.

[eljefe]

If Netflix cancels Dave I will cancel my subscription.

[elmantishrimp]

This is one of the dumbest protests I've seen considering Dave isn't even transphobic. He was just speaking truth.

[arayabuchichi]

Where’s the walk for CUTIES where they used kids for Fedofilla ? It’s harmful to children 👶 Let’s go Brandon !!!

[butterflyy]

If only they had enough outrage and put enough effort for things that matter more like human trafficking, lower rent, lower taxes, healthcare, better education etc.

[ShmunkL]

They want to be accepted so bad but they couldn’t even accept themselves 😂

[karenp]

These people that walked out, should be fired.

Funny, I didn't hear them protesting when he was making fun of whites, blacks, asians, and many other communities.

[wendydarling]

This is what happens when you don’t have a backbone, Dave jokes about everyone and everything. All comedians do that. 🙄

[gutz]

The irony is, if they cancel Dave, so many more people will cancel their subscription to Netflix and it will lead to lay offs of these same people. LOL

[VegasTony]

Yet, they don't protest about human trafficking or domestic violence or homeless veterans. They wanted "inclusion", but only on their terms.

This lady said what Dave Chapelle said is harmful to children???
1. The special is not meant for children
2. A child thinking they can be trans has been harmed

[nikhtose]

Nothing says “privilege” more than a few dozen activists getting national media attention over a comedy show they don’t like. Only backs Dave’s point!

[IMDETACHT]

Norm McDonald was awesome...
Bill Burr is King...
Chappelle is a comedic Deity.

There are thousands of people out of work that would love to have a job at Netflix.

[gutz]

Fire all of them. There are thousands more with talent who would rather work. You cancel Dave, and I am sure 100 times more people will unsubscribe Netflix.

[psfan]

Chapelle made GENERATIONAL wealth from that special, I don’t think he’s losing sleep over this “protest”

[cornjulio]

I just looked and there are 18 pages of jobs available in the US on Netflix's website 🤷🏿‍♂️

"Dave chappels speech harm kids"
*South park staring quietly by side*

[iamoverthelies]

walked out bc of jokes aimed at "trans people" but celebrate with glee the vicious jokes made about honest hard working regular people, amirite?
