lol I don’t give him that much attention I see his tweets and was told he expected he would make a resurgence with the popular blacks
Special was cool. Not his funniest but not sure what the negative outrage is about 🤷🏽♂️
Feel like most outrage came from people who just saw clips and headlines
But he wasn’t complaining about being cancelled that wasn’t the point
people hating on this haven't watched it / need to listen to Manifesto by Tyler
I think it's his second best netflix special, I thought it handled the "edgy" jokes a lot better than the first ones did
This person didn't watch the whole special or they don't have the mental capacity to be able to review the material lol. He even makes a joke about how most of the people against him didn't watch the whole special he made before but saw clips.
Dave de-evolving into a black Bill Burr is the saddest s*** I’ve witnessed in the last few years.
Bill burr is amazing tho
May as well use this thread, I remember a stand-up comedian doing a routine that ended with him mysteriously saying
'Because you never know... (audience laughs) because you never know...'
But I can't remember who did it or what it was even about, does anyone know what I'm talking about here?
Special was cool. Not his funniest but not sure what the negative outrage is about 🤷🏽♂️
Thought he started off slow but the story about beating up that lesbian is what turned it around imo He's more focused on the current social climate but I don't see how anyone can say he isn't funny. His jokes and ability to tie everything together are unmatched
Those white women sitting in the middle were not feeling the show at all Everyone in the crowd would be hunched over laughing and they just sat there stone faced
“ A Netflix representative said in a statement on Tuesday that “while we would never normally talk about an investigation like this,” the company contends that “this employee admitted sharing confidential information externally from their Netflix email on several occasions.” The statement added that “they were the only employee to access detailed, sensitive data on four titles that later appeared in the press.””
Like I’m all for rallying against corporations and raging against the machine but accountability got to exist
“ Over the past few weeks, it has become clear that there are many places where Netflix
still has to grow when it comes to content relating to the trans and non-binary
community. The Trans* Employee Resource Group, which includes trans and
non-binary colleagues as well as our numerous allies, wants Netflix to immediately take
the steps below to begin to repair the relationship between the Company, our
colleagues, and our audience. Specifically, we want the Company to adopt measures
in the areas of Content Investment, Employee Relations and Safety, and Harm
Reduction, all of which are necessary to avoid future instances of platforming
transphobia and hate speech, and to account for the harm we have caused and will
continue to cause until the below measures are put in place.
Content Investment
Create a new fund to specifically develop trans and non-binary talent
○ This fund should support both above-the-line (ATL) and below-the-line
(BTL) talent;
○ This fund should exist in addition to the existing Creative Equity Fund;
Increase investment in trans and non-binary content on Netflix comparable to
our total investment in transphobic content, including marketing and
promotion;
Invest in multiple trans creators to make both scripted and unscripted programs
across genres;
Revise internal processes on commissioning and releasing potential harmful
(“sensitive”) content, including but not limited to involving parties who are a
part of the subject community and can speak to potential harm, or consulting
with 3rd party experts/vendors;
Increase the ERG role in conversations around potentially harmful content and
ensure we have best in class regional support on complicated intersectional
diversity issues;
Hire trans and non-binary content executives, especially BIPOC, in leading
positions;
Employee Relations and Safety
Recruit trans people, especially BIPOC, for leadership roles in the company
(Director, VP, etc.) and promote an inclusive environment for them;
Allow employees to remove themselves from previous company promotional
content (e.g. allyship and diversity videos, etc.);
Eliminate references/imagery of transphobic titles or talent inside of the
workplace, including but not limited to murals, posters, room names, swag;
Harm Reduction
Acknowledge the harm and Netflix’s responsibility for this harm from
transphobic content, and in particular harm to the Black trans community;
Add a disclaimer before transphobic titles that specifically flag transphobic
language, misogyny, homophobia, hate speech, etc. as required;
Boost promotion for Disclosure and other trans-affirming titles in the platform;
Suggest trans-affirming content alongside and after content flagged as
anti-trans.
We are employees, but we are members, too. We believe that this Company can and
must do better in our quest to entertain the world, and that the way forward must
include more diverse voices in order to avoid causing more harm. The Trans* ERG
looks forward to working with the Company to make this a better, more entertaining
place for us all.
Sincerely-
Trans* Netflix”

I know this is serious and all but this 100% reads like a spoof headline
