FAFO, got to love it.

I only hope that this will be permanent.

    He could have picked the right side. Still would have ended the tour, but at least he’d have been on the right side.

      If he sided with Macklemore and kraft forbade the tour, his entire management team would have been more than capable of using this enormous amount of publicity to refund tickets, sell new ones for a free Palestine tour for more money, more dates.

      He really dropped the ball by simping for a billionaire.

          How so? I assume you watched a clip from his last special, out of context, which was intentionally designed to be misunderstood when out of context?

          Edit: My comment is on the segment of his last special, where he is very clearly pro Palestine. However, if you remove the leading context, it sounds very much pro Israel. There are also more than a few clips circulating without that context.

            He comes across as a total trans-phobe to the point it isn’t even funny and simps for Elon Musk

                No worries I think we were talking around each other then

                I was referencing the comment you replied to about why he is a “sell out”

            chappelle’s always been a sellout. he got fired from his show because he wanted a ridiculous amount more money and they said no, so he hid from everyone until enough people forgot about that and tried to do standup again. only he hadn’t kept up since the 80s so it was bill cosby style standup.

      I think he could have worked with smaller venues and had more dates. Based on the reactions right now, the free publicity looks like it might have been a boon to ticket sales.

      I wish he picked the right side and I have hope that he’ll muster the courage to join it soon.
