I hate it when authors mischaracterize comedy routines or quote other people to imply that a comedy routine is something other than it is. I saw Dave Chapelle’s Netflix special, and the long piece about a trans-woman that he befriended is not transphobic. I’ve also seen Louis CK’s SNL monologue about pedophiles. To this day, that monologue is the most brilliant, high-wire comedy piece that I have seen. It took incredible nerve to do it in front of a national TV audience, which made it even better. And, it was intentionally provocative, but in my opinion, only disturbing in that it makes you think about how messed up pedophiles are. So, f- all these chattering idiots in the press trying to stir stuff up by smearing good comedians.
