Nobody was lynched, and "the" LGBTQ+ didn't do anything here.

Perhaps "lynching" was putting it too strongly. I am going off of Dave's take from the special that it was her own people that gave her the most backlash on Twitter.

You know who wouldn't have much patience for using that word that way? Dave Chappelle.

I don't know what "her own people" means here, but Dave Chappelle sums Twitter up the way many of his supporters here do as well: "not real".

"You know who wouldn't have much patience for using that word that way? Dave Chappelle."

Did you ask him?

No, I just watched him make that point repeatedly over the last several specials, notably including this one in the DaBaby bit.

If some cis groups were to have bullied an LGBTQ person on Twitter to the point where they killed themselves, it would be a national story, and the term 'lynching' would be used by some.

We need the old ACLU back.
