    Michael Che comes for people he thinks he can get away with dunking on. Trans women, Black women, sexual assault survivors. Judging by his flimsy "I got hacked" defense, it seems he had no idea how beloved Simone Biles is, or just how messed up it is to share a Larry Nasser joke.

        Che's transphobic bits on Weekend Update were the caveat in my otherwise-celebratory Pride month piece about how far SNL has recently come from its long, awful LGBTQ history. He's a head writer there, so his behavior sends something of a message. https://nerdist.com/article/saturday-night-live-queer-humor-evolution/ …pic.twitter.com/KX4vKEsgGq

        Screenshot of block text from a Nerdist article that says: "Of course Saturday Night Live is by no means a queer utopia these days. Much of the problematic material focuses on men kissing men and transphobia. “Weekend Update” is a frequent offender, relying on cheap laughs like Michael Che’s “don’t ask, don’t tuck” line. Instead of mocking the then-president, who imposed the ban on transgender people in the military, or even Biden, who repealed it and whom the joke saddles with giving the policy the offensive name that forms the basis of his joke, the real target is transgender folks. The continued use of jokes like this sets a tone, both for viewers and those involved in creating the show."

        Shitty Che story: Che and I knew each other through some friends, so we were friends on FB. 1. He stole a entire skit idea that me and my buddy did on our show and had it on SNL that next week. 2. He blocked me when i called him out about it.

        I get where you're coming from but also wtf are you talking about? Michael Che's main thing is joking on white people and especially white males

        Simone Biles is a Black woman who was sexually assaulted by a white man now in prison for assaulting multiple members of our Women’s Gymnastic team. Che thinks that’s funny.
