Chappelle posted a video on Instagram on Monday firing back at his critics and claiming that the backlash against him was being driven by corporations with little to do with the LGBT community.

Why did the media spread falsehoods about those pro-Chappelle counter-protesters?
On Wednesday staff at Netflix walked out in protest against Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix special, The Closer, which they claim is transphobic. This attempt on the part of Netflix employees and others to censor the streaming giant’s output was worrying. But so was what happened next.
Protesters were standing outside Netflix’s offices in Los Gatos, California, busily complaining about Chappelle’s supposed bigotry, when they were joined by some unexpected guests. Comedians Vito Gesualdi and Dick Masterson turned up with placards that read ‘Jokes are funny’ and ‘We like Dave’.

In the spring of 2020, just five days after the death of George Floyd in Minnesota had kicked off massive protests over police brutality, Shania Lavallee posted a video on Snapchat of her sister Justine play-fighting with Shania’s boyfriend, as they often did.
… The facts of the case, as laid out in an Ontario Superior Court defamation ruling, show what happens when a snippet on social media is taken from its context and turned into a full-blown mobbing by total strangers. The sisters were castigated as privileged white girls from an Ottawa suburb; in fact, they are both Inuit through their mother’s side, and are registered members of the Native Alliance of Quebec.
One of the main difficulties with tornado records is that a tornado, or evidence of a tornado must have been observed. Unlike rainfall or temperature, which may be measured by a fixed instrument, tornadoes are short-lived and very unpredictable. If a tornado occurs in a place with few or no people, it is not likely to be documented. Many significant tornadoes may not make it into the historical record since Tornado Alley was very sparsely populated during the 20th century.

Critics have been calling on Netflix to cancel Dave Chappelle’s new special titled The Closer. However, the Hollywood actor/comedian’s show currently has a 96 percent audience score at Rotten Tomatoes, making it somewhat doubtful that the cancel mob will get their way this time.
Comedian Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special, The Closer, has drawn praise from audiences and social media, while eliciting scorn from media reviewers and professional critics over its jokes about the LGBTQ and trans communities. Critics have even gone so far as to label the stand-up special “a betrayal” on Chappelle’s part.
But how far does this divide extend between what appears to be mass audience approval and universal critic disapproval? Rotten Tomatoes, the film critic aggregation site that averages reviews of visual media in film, television, and streaming, has become the latest tool to measure this.

The institutional media has been known for episodes of blatant discrimination, the very discrimination they accuse the nationalist and even mainstream right of engaging in, whether it be regarding who they hire or who they choose to elevate and denigrate in their reporting. More recently, one of the many stenographers of the corporate media could not even muster the effort needed to properly describe a famous venue’s nickname simply because it contained the word “white” in it.
