I haven’t watched it either (yet). I found this an interesting perspective however - https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/10/dave-chapp...
So you might be right. Maybe Chapelle was taken out of context. I doubt it, given what I've read, but I can't say for sure since I haven't watched it.
But suppose it is homophobic, or transphobic. I'm actually okay with Netflix hosting it if so, but I don't want there to be double standards. Would Netflix host a racist stand-up routine? Perhaps one where the comedian says they're on "Team White Power" instead of "Team TERF?" Of course not! That's what grinds my gears - transphobia is edgy, apparently, not hateful like racism.
And if Netflix is really committed to diversity of perspectives, why did they no-platform the Saudi Arabia documentary?
