        Comedy is the last refuge of reality and honest discussion. I applaud Chappelle for never backing down.

        It is public performance and critics live to critique and criticize. If you don't like it you don't have to read it. But since you did, do you feel the critic made fair points or should every indecency and degradation be excused under a banner of comedy?

        Yeah you nailed it. Everyone by extension who enjoys Dave Chappell’s comedy shows find harassment, abuse, assault etc funny #logic

        Not saying he's not talented, however, jokes about sexual harassment and abuse are not funny, kind of like how rape jokes aren't funny, At all. Learn the difference.

        So, which joke of his made fun of sexual harassment victims or victims of abuse? I’m assuming you’ve watched the special and maybe picked up something I didn’t here

        How old is a 15 year old? Brittle spirit? Yeah, I don't think so. As one of so many females who have put up with years of this sh**, it's not funny in any way. When someone abuses you, maybe you'll get it.

        I’m glad you read the article, however you aren’t quoting Chappell here but a paraphrased section of a larger skit taken out of context. Your quote doesnt even prove malicious intent. Regardless, if you don’t find it funny don’t watch it.

        I don't watch his stuff anymore, but I am to responding to an article. Any male wading into #metoo is taking a risk, esp. when they have no clue what it's like to be sexually abused or harassed.
