It sure seems like Mulaney made his queer and trans fans unknowingly pay to be bullied by a comedian who's built his career on bashing trans folks.
how “Dave Chappelle ambushed us at the John Mulaney show, told a bunch of transphobic jokes, a massive stadium of people laughed, and then John Mulaney hugged him at the end.”
Chappelle spewing his usual brand of dehumanizing, anti-LGBTQ “comedy” isn’t at all surprising—this is a man who has joked about once assaulting a lesbian woman, proudly identifies as “team TERF,” and devoted the bulk of his latest Netflix special to his bizarre fixation on trans people’s genitals. All at a time of ever-increasing political attacks on trans people no less. There’s no way Mulaney didn’t foresee Chappelle’s inevitable jokes at queer and trans people’s expense at his show.
The entire situation is about as fucked up as it was avoidable. If Mulaney even vaguely cares about the harm he’s inflicted on his trans and LGBTQ fans, the very least he could do is refund their tickets to his Friday show. No matter what he says or does going forward, there are plenty of queer and trans comics we could all be supporting instead of yet another disappointing white man.
