Netflix is ​​now playing Dave Chappelle random letters, it seems

Netflix has made it great Obviously, over the past few years, her unwavering support for Dave Chappelle and The anti-transgender comedy that he continues to tackle in his various works Specials not just a commercial position (Not least because some company Leaked Special Metrics suggest it periodically overpaid to make a chapel) But a philosophical position. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos did it in person clear in His many complete defenses Chappelle, no matter how many times the comedian suggests, as he did in his own 2021 movie the closestAnd the That transgender women and men are not “real” women and men, respectively, is among other anti-transgender jokes (which come close to all that singular form This joke is the only one that transphobes ever It seems I know).
