I can't see that because it's nonsensical and treats this incident like it's in a vacuum. Like had this not happened there wouldn't be incels talking about CRAZY SJWs and demonising trans people. Like they don't say those exact things in response to trans people showing any degree of backbone against transphobia. already.
Except those 'moderates' already pearl-clutch about almost any pushback the trans community gives, especially toward comedians or famous people. I'm also not sure I'm going to be too concerned about the person who sees a cis person tackle someone and their response is "damn trans people are unhinged". What makes it harder for trans people to fight back are those moderates in the first place. The fairweather allies who tut-tut anything short of a smile and a nod in the face of bigotry.
We can't even be uninvolved peacefully enough for them.Random person tackles Chappelle.
"Well this just gives him and others more ammunition to attack trans people"

Are you trying to come off like a condescending jerk, because if not, that's what you're doing anyway.
of course he will do that, that's his job. the issue is him dragging uninvolved people into it
No need to be apologise, it's ok. It isn't in a vacuum in any way though. All of your points as to his size and platform were true before now, when he was content to push transphobia to a wide audience. If he chooses to use this incident to beat down on trans people then it's no different to when he used any other excuse to beat down on us before. He doesn't need ammunition to attack trans people, it's what he does willingly off of his own volition. Whether this happened or didn't happen doesn't change the outcome being him continuing to incorporate transphobia in his stand-up. He's already said we aren't real women, has gone into detail about our vaginas, has supported JK Rowling, said he's on team TERF and called us irrational and crazy.
Pretty much thisFelt bad for Dave but then heard the joke afterwards...
Felt bad for the dude with his arm all fucked up but then heard he had a gun and a knife...
the priority is for the protection of the person who everyone paid to see. If it was a trans celebrity being attacked on staged it would've played out the same way
Not just his show. There are plenty of other comedians and presenters.
People whose only mention of trans people in 4 years is this thread suddenly becoming fountains of knowledge on what makes trans people's lives harder.
It's pointless. This absolute thinking regarding violence is such bullshit grandstanding. Put me in a situation where I'm threatened or put in a position to get violent and I'm not thinking about whether some nerds on ERA would condone my behavior. The mutant levels of passivity in this place is ridiculous.What are your thoughts on this?

Much like the penalty for breaking into someone's home isn't death, you accept that you could die when you engage in that behavior. Likewise if you preach hate for a living, you should accept the possibility that hate may roll up on you at some point.
He probably uses a banking app. I just hope that if anyone beat the man after he was subdued, like Dave claimed to do, gets sued or charged.
In part due to this eternal phenomenon. 👆
You're as obvious as they come, despite putting a sadface in every post :(
