"Dave Chappelle's 'The Dreamer' Sparks Outrage with Provocative Transgender Remarks"

TL;DR Summary
Dave Chappelle's latest Netflix special, "The Dreamer," continues his trend of making controversial jokes about marginalized groups, this time targeting disabled and transgender people. Despite claiming he would avoid trans jokes, he proceeded to make several, including a bit about identifying as a woman to be sent to a women's prison. Critics argue that his material is neither funny nor clever, and suggest that it's time to move on from the controversy surrounding his specials, as the attention may be what he seeks.
