Both Chappelle and the streaming giant faced an avalanche of criticism for the TV project, which mocked members of the transgender community and used crude terms to refer to a transgender person’s anatomy.

The National Black Justice Coalition and GLAAD were among the critics that condemned the standup comedy special when it debuted last year, calling it transphobic.

GLAAD said at the time that Chappelle’s brand had “become synonymous with ridiculing trans people.”

On Tuesday, “The Closer” was named one of five nominees in the Emmys’s “Outstanding Variety Special Pre-Recorded” category. .

“The Closer” also received a nomination for outstanding directing for a variety special.

Can anyone explain why trannies are the world's greatest cause celebre?

Individuals who identify as trans make up ~2% of the global population.

Chappelle likely voted for Biden

Tired of these “anti cancel culture” comedians who vote for politicians that ratify and support it

They aren’t. They’re just the flavor of the month.

In two months the mouth breathers will be pandering to another bunch of attention seeking morons.

Because they're the smallest minority. That's how it works. The smallest minority gets to sit atop the Victimhood Totem Pole.

There is no way that it is that high. The global Jewish population is around 2%, right?

If there is that many of them, let's just set aside some land in the Middle East and give them their own country. Gets them out of this one.

I listened to his speech at Duke Ellington last night and that prompted to listening to the closer on a long drive last night.

The Daphne story is the biggest F you to the trans activists packaged in a story you could pull off.

This is a great opportunity for mediocre thespians and the like to staged a protest and virtue signal over this injustice. #TransLivesMatter

They view themselves untouchable apparently and at the tip top of the oppressed pyramid

Just wait ten years when the youth grows up a little bit and gets totally manipulated by these people. ...it doesn't look good. I just pray for the children of today, more so than any other time we can remember.

I watched some of Ricky Gervais Netflix special and he goes after the woke crowd and takes jabs at the "T" community as well. I don't understand why he isn't in their crosshairs. I guess racism is in the "T" community as well.

Great comedy means no group survives. We all have our idiosyncratic ways that are found funny by some group, and as long as everyone gets exposed, I can enjoy laughing at those perspectives. I like how Dave does this, and throws himself in the mix. And, if you ain’t getting trashed in a comic routine, you ain’t relevant, so even trannies need to understand, they are by his actions, relevant
