The amount of spite in this man is insane.

Because how dare anyone tell a rich man what they can't do.
1. Because he's an asshole
Because unfortunately, it appeals to a lot of people thinking he's fighting the 'woke mob'.
This is really what it comes down. People with an inflated sense of self worth absolutely cannot stand being told their behavior is wrong, to the point where even if they didn't care that much at first they will make a point of continuing to do it out of spite.
I think it's the name of his special, I was confused too and was wondering what the TNT show had to do with anything.
I have a coworker that's exactly like this, damn. These people have such a fragile sense of self that any gust of wind coming their way is seen as a threat.
Yep. Pretty much what children do. Chapelle is a grown ass man child.

Same question could be asked of JK Rowling. It's bizzare af that these once beloved creators could just go on being universally popular but they chose this hill to die on.
Plenty of bigots out there to praise him for it so he chooses to just stick with that reality.
When you get called a genius and have your words treated as gospel for years, eventually you begin to believe it, end up unable to comprehend or accept the idea that you might be wrong and end up doubling down repeatedly because you've never learned that shutting up about topics you clearly don't know anything about is a viable option.

It's always like that with famous transphobes, eventually their entire personality shrinks into a helicopter joke.
True or not beyond there being no reason for oppression Olympics but he has stated things more than once that show he thinks/claims trans issues are a "white thing" which is fucked up, not just because again it's dividing where we need intersectionality, but it also erases the fact that trans women of color whether black or brown or anything else non-white take a disproportionate amount of abuse compared to white trans people (and I say that as a white trans person knowing that while I am in a very dangerous position my non-white sisters are in even more danger they deserve the most protection both from within and from outside community) to the point where black trans people when adjusted for population and percentages are literally the Americans most at risk of getting murdered. And that's not even getting into other countries or other minorities that are not white.
At least he didn't go for Theater for Expression, Reality and Freedom...
