If Dave Chappelle had so blatantly attacked another minority group, such as Asians, Muslims, or Jews, would Netflix have so readily stood by his artistic freedom? It’s hard not to feel like trans people are considered fair game in today’s America. This is why we must speak out.
@GeorgeTakei @GeorgeTakei I love you and have followed you for years. I will continue to love you and continue to follow you. I'm asking you this question as an ally and supporter. Didn't you just fat shame Bill Shatner a few days ago?
@JLemisanthrope @GeorgeTakei I wasn’t equivocating the two. I was just wondering why (given the heightened scrutiny on fat-shaming) it even makes sense to disparage someone for their weight…only to follow it up days later with criticism of Chappelle’s special. That’s all. I admire and love GT.
@JLemisanthrope @GeorgeTakei So hostile. Civility is such a lost virtue. That’s ok. You have a good day. I’m sure you’ll figure out how to engage in a discussion respectfully someday.
@Geralds_Tweets @JLemisanthrope @GeorgeTakei He’s trying to shut you up, bully you and make you ashamed of expressing an opinion, treat him with the contempt he deserves
