—has been as absurd as it has been equally infuriating and avoidable. In an Internet of reinforcing bubbles, one might think that the online response perhaps ensured actual consequences for both the streaming giant and the self-ascribed G.O.A.T. comedian.
Joe Rogan was Joe Rogan. That is to say, the walking id of semi-literate machismo with just enough self-awareness to make him culpable for their outsized influence on pop culture. “If you’re getting your vaccine advice from me, is that really my fault?” Rogan asked to uproarious laughter. To answer briefly: Yes.is far and away the most listened-to podcast in America, with guests ranging from Elon Musk, to Bernie Sanders, to Ben Shapiro. Hearing Rogan hawk Ivermectin treatments for COVID-19 in lieu of provenly effective vaccines makes him an unequivocal accomplice to misinformation peddling and pseudoscience. But, y’know, it’s all for the LOLZ.
Unfortunately, at this stage in their respective careers, both Chappelle and Rogan will, in all likelihood, continue to rake in obscene amounts of money in literal echo chamber. Despite what left-leaning social media bubbles may say otherwise, Chappelle has not only escaped this latest queer-phobic controversy unscathed, but is now bolstered by his fans, friends, and his newly minted TERF allies.
What’s hilarious is Andrew is talking about them being out of touch… yet they’re the ones with massive audiences cheering them on. Barely a handful of people turned up to the Netflix protests. Some self awareness would be nice, the whole article was trash.
My 6yo son feels devastated and cries a lot when he hears bad words spoken about him. I'm currently teaching him to regulate his emotions in order that he be able to conduct himself in an acceptable manner as an adult. He's on track to be over this immature stage by the age of 7.
you are such bottom feeders, trying to insist one of the greatest artists of our time is “cancelled” because you don’t think he has a right to speak his mind, as if it’s legitimately hate speech
Hard to read this…garbage article. You can be better
Other things considered antiquated by Andrew Paul, 'The Earth is Round', humans are an evolved species, and of course the old school belief in the law of gravity. feelingoverfacts
Corporate media will lose this battle. Its sad they all keep trying.
Wow. Like every corporate 'news' machine trying to destroy this dude again. Hes revealed so much about how sick and twisted the media is. But i get it, you have a huge platform. Keep trying. You will lose this battle. The REAL MAJORITY have spoken. Give it up. nomorefakenews
Why you send a non fan to a comedy show? Is that something you would do to a musician?
You used to be a respected magazine too. Now you just coast on that reputation with no intention of improving. The irony.
Must be an odd existence to be so fragile that a guy like Rogan lives rent free in your head every waking minute of the day. Don't get that one at alllllll. 🤷🏻♂️
This Andrew fellais areal cunt isnt he? An angry little Man trying to besuper PC while his own toxic masculinity and agression shines through the whole «article» which is neither objective or informative. Just hopping on the anti standup bandwagon for the fame he hopes he gets
Horrid piece by this Andrew Paul guy. It must be nice to get paid to write temper tantrums because a well regarded comedian refused to be cancelled.
The sjw's will not win this battle
Sorry , had to bring it back because this piece is extra salty , this wasn't a recap it was a cheap shot and a prime example of what NOT to do in journalism.
Horrible take.
'The special is a largely unfunny' Jeeze- This is obviously a political rant only. Lets be real- Netflix and Dave are a lot more relevant than magazines and Rolling Stone these days.
That 'straw person trans fan turned friend' (as you so eloquently put it) is real and has a name, her name is Daphne, she committed suicide because of relentless bullying, bullying coming from her own community, but of course you left that out.
What an embarrassing article. What is Andrew Paul's Twitter? I feel like he has to be a made up person just to get clicks.
When did Rolljng Stone become a parish newsletter?
The guy (Andrew Paul) who wrote this article is a hack with zero talent. Sorry Andrew but being PC does not make up for your lack of talent and originality. There are 50 million PC males out there. They think that being PC will win them some points. It wins you zero points!
Hard to believe this is an actual Rolling Stone article. What self grandiose drivel. Really sad for such a great magazine.
My recap on your recap: 👎🏿
Wheres the dislike button?
Andrew Paul - you missed the mark. Dave Chappelle is a funny comedian with a kind soul.
That article was drivel. Pure nonsense.
I am failing to see how he is transphobic besides him not identifying as queer himself. Is that what it takes these days? Maybe the supposed pc culture you mentioned is less obvious to those that are blinded from within it.
If you’re going to attempt to speak for everybody then allow comments on the articles, especially ones like this that make hard-lines on what is and isn’t right or ethical. You don’t speak for the people and you know that, otherwise you would welcome their input.
Love Dave Chappelle and the 💯
I empathized better with these comments about this article, than the douche that wrote this. I'm glad that comedians are fighting back against all of this. I don't want to live in a world where everyone has to constantly walk on eggshells, and nobody can take a joke.
This article is trash. Seriously.
Whoever wrote this story is clearly a very biased and ignorant individual 🙄
Is it possible to hate any more?
This article is an unfunny joke
Insulting people and calling them 'unevolved' for enjoying Chappelle's (and Rogans) humor is exactly why we are where we are today, esp when Dave did not actually insult anybody. Learn to laugh at YOURSELVES and you will find enlightenment (like Flame Monroe!)
How much play are you hack media types going to get out of this one non story? Maybe you can cover some actually interesting sorites instead of jumping on the outrage bandwagon.
Remember when Rolling Stone was a relevant purveyor of insightful and, often, controversial writing? Think of HST, Grieder, Crowe, O'Rourke, Hastings, Taibbi... actual WRITERS, who drove us to become better readers, thinkers... humans. THIS most certainly ain't THAT.
Like great comedians and South Park, this is all material for Dave.
Punch down much? Sweet 'journalism' RS.
AnAndyPaul I’d like a second-opinion on your “humor” qualifications
This article sucked. Not much thought went into it at all.
Really? This writer's bias murdered this article.. Self acclaimed G.O.A.T.. I guess Rolling Stone had become a joke too..
A writer that can't find humor in life, jeez. I couldn't even finish his fake outrage article.whenkeepingitrealgoesright
Just another tiresome attack on men. I never thought I hear the words 'masculinity' and 'Tom Segura' in the same sentence yet here we are.
Look! It’s more ultra privileged white people of Rolling Stone tearing down a successful black man. I’ll pretend to be shocked.
This article is embarrassingly stupid. Dave Chappelle is “largely unfunny”? Yes, Netflix keep paying millions of dollars to be largely unfunny and unpopular.
You have already lost the reader when you say the special is largely unfunny immediately preceded by you confirming it was sold-out. Dude, work on your own job-specific skills before thrashing someone else’s.
I read about half way through this article before I had to stop. Shit writing!
RS just wants Chappelle attention.
Dave's alright. Rogan's a serious jerkface though.
Rolling Stone literally lied about people overflowing a hospital in OKLAHOMA. is irrelevant, and out of touch with reality.
Unintelligent post.
L+no one asked+ you fell off+ ratio
Andrew Paul needs to get laid and then take a vacation. “Semi-literate machismo” 🤡 hahahaha
I’m a member of the LGBTQ by being a proud YB Sexual and I found his special to be quite hilarious and unfortunately truthfully
I was going to comment on how this RS article is a huge pile of shit, but I'm glad the rest of yall have made that point clear already
If it wasn’t funny people wouldn’t watch. Stand up has always touched tough topics.
They said The Closer was “largely unfunny”! Shit was fucking hilarious!!!! Classic Dave Chappelle is the best and that’s what the closer is!
No lesson to learn on their part
Sounds like the author is a little sore. Hang in there little guy...
The person who wrote this article doesn't have a clue about choice. This is his biased, personal opinion, and he's wrong.
Idk what controversy youre referring too 🤷🏻♀️
If Chappelle is semi-literate the Andrew Paul must be semi-illiterate. What a narrow and disconnected from reality point of view.
rolling stone is pure crap today
This is not journalism.
This is what RS articles produce now because the writers are all College interns now.
There’s nothing to learn
Haven't learned? There is nothing to learn! What happened to the Rolling Stone?
unfollowed, wanted updates on em tunes not cancelling Chappelle
Whew
Grow a pair and get over your fake outrage.
You know, providing these guys with more attention just reinforces their beliefs that they are the smartest to ever walk the earth. Chappelle can barely contain his admiration for his gigantic intellect & hipness.
awww rolling stone is so upset....cry cry cry.....sorry your so sad and have zero sense of humor.....a terrible symptom of going woke.
Rolling Stone sent a reporter to New Orleans and they still haven't learned anything.
Has RS learned anything from their recent controversies?
Shit up nerds
There wasn't anything to learn
An arena-sized echo chamber? Does that make any sense in the least, or maybe you’re reading the entire situation wrong? & both comedians are fully supportive of trans rights, just not at the end of bullying demands. & describing Joe’s Covid thoughts “for the LULZ” is respectable?
They are both wildly successful, they should probably keep doing what works for them and their vast audiences. I find neither transphobic, and I’ve heard them both speak on it.
No… you… haven’t learned, not them!!! His message clearly went over your guy’s heads!!!
Who cares what rolling joke has to say,it was a great show.
They still out to lynch this black man.
Learned anything? Jokes are funny and nobody should be bullied into compliance.
About time somebody famous with guts challenged the woke brigade who are telling us what to think, what to say and what history we should rewrite. We need more like Chapelle.
That Closer show is hilarious
What’s there to learn? They are both more popular than ever.
BLECH!
