I wouldn't call it closet, even Dave doesn't hide his incredibly high opinion of himself in his acts. Probably not NPD, but definitely narcissisticWhy is this dude so intent on being the victim? Closet narcissism? 🤔
It's just like how Kanye equated being called an anti-semite to the n-word.I'm reading the article, but I don't see where he equates his transphobia to people calling him the N-word. Can anyone else see it? I might just be missing it. I'd like to post this story elsewhere, but would like to quote from the article, especially that part.

Can't find it after reading thrice. Weird title.I'm reading the article, but I don't see where he equates his transphobia to people calling him the N-word. Can anyone else see it? I might just be missing it. I'd like to post this story elsewhere, but would like to quote from the article, especially that part.
The quote in post #7 was originally part of the article.Sorry, I meant the actual quote from the article that's implied from the OP's title—I've done a ctrl-f for transphobe/transphobia as well as other things (and read through), but I can't find him saying it (unless it was removed from the article).
"These were grown people of various genders and gender identities," Chappelle said. "They threw eggs. They threw eggs at the [fans] who were lined up to see the show."
Go home transphobe: Doesn't make sense! -- so confusing! -- ohh my brain, amirite? -- mixed, difficult feelings -- forces self-reflection -- oh god no, am I the asshole? -- new situation, new word --- oh god no, am I getting old and out of touch? -- should I do some research on this? -- I resent this all deeplyThey kept saying that: 'Go home, transphobe,' and 'fuck you, transphobe.' It was really confusing, but if you replace the word transphobe for n—– it makes perfect sense."
Looks like Variety edited the article quickly to remove most of that paragraph. Now it just says:
"Now I have a belief that the gay community is not monolithic, and I think that in regards to me, that there's probably a variety of opinions throughout that," Chappelle said. "But there's a thing they do where they deliberately obscure what I think they believe is the intent of my work to make a moment of it that I don't know that the work necessarily merits. You know what I mean?"
By erasing them.How the hell can someone rationalize that idea considering the fact that trans people of every race and nationality exist? As for America specifically, some of the most prominent trans people in history are black women.
He gets a pass in San Francisco so I don't really know how it's really going to affect his career. He just sold out the Chase Center with Chris Rock and the local media just gobbles him up and hand waves the transphobia. His fan base is primarily liberal too out here and is treated like a visionary. It boggles my mind

He doesn't consider it an attack, he doesn't think words are violence (unless you're calling him the n-word)
If it helps a bit, here's an article that had the original text before Vanity edited it.I'm reading the article, but I don't see where he equates his transphobia to people calling him the N-word.

That's one thing that I've noticed that doesn't always get mentioned: Why is he so obsessed? Why can he not go without mentioning it? It's super weird.He just seems super obsessed with the topic. Like he short circuited or something.
He's been in this train for a decade no?
As another aside, this article touches on his show at First Ave (Minneapolis) being cancelledIf it helps a bit, here's an article that had the original text before Vanity edited it.
And it should be noted, that the show did go on,Last July, Minneapolis' First Avenue club cancelled a Chappelle comedy show due to the backlash. The venue apologized to the community for booking Chappelle and vowed to keep the club a "safe space."
and that the Varsity is owned by First Ave. They just moved him down the street. I was mad about that.Chappelle ended up playing Minneapolis at a different venue, the Varsity Theater, which attracted large groups of protesters.
Did they edit this out of the article?So it was people from all walks of life...calling you the n-word. Got it. Makes total sense.
Why is this dude so intent on being the victim? Closet narcissism? 🤔
This is the same dude that lamented how he just didn't take the $50 million for 10 years. 😂
Because he was held up as an untouchable comedic god for over a decade, got used to the praise and worship from everyone and started believing his own hype, and ended up being unable to process things when he actually got criticized for his transphobic stuff and took it all personally.That's one thing that I've noticed that doesn't always get mentioned: Why is he so obsessed? Why can he not go without mentioning it? It's super weird.
It reminds me of my father in law; whenever someone mentions "privileged/rich white dude" he gets super hung up on it, he'll circle back to the comment long after conversation has moved on. I mean, it's completely different obviously, but what is that tendency to just keep bringing up things in that way?

He won't. He hates trans people and wants to hurt us. He's accomplishing his goals and all his fans (including on here) are helping him.I wish he would stop. He gets too much attention and mainstreams the idea that backlash against anti-trans hate is persecution.
He just seems super obsessed with the topic. Like he short circuited or something.

It's not really that interesting, because he's never shied away from making fun of the LGTBQ community for his entire career lol.What's continually interesting about that is part of the reason why he walked away from that is because he didn't a skit about a pixie that convinced black people to play into stereotypes about their race and a white guy on set laughed so hard during it that it made Dave really uncomfortable and start to question if he was reinforcing stereotypes rather than doing a send up of them. He seems unable to step back and look at other situations the same way he looked at that.
Ugh, I didn't realize Talib Kweli wrapped himself up in this shit.
