About David Chappelle's controversy
In 2021, about 100 people protested outside Netflix's headquarters over the airing of a comedy special by Dave Chappelle, which was considered transphobic. Staff members of the streaming giant and transgender activists staged the walkout at the Los Angeles offices. They asked Netflix to fund more trans and non-binary talent to avoid transphobia and hate speech.
In his new special, the stand-up comedian said,
"They’ve canceled people that are more powerful than me. They canceled J.K. Rowling, my god. J.K. Rowling wrote all the Harry Potter books by herself. She sold so many books, the bible worries about her. And they canceled her because she said in an interview—and this is not exactly what she said but effectually—she said gender was a fact. And then the trans community got mad as shit. They started calling her a TERF."
Netflix recently announced a stand-alone comedy series featuring comics selected by Dave Chappelle, titled Chappelle’s Home Team. The series will debut on February 28, 2022 and will be executively produced by Chappelle.
