I think the "punching down" at the trans community is a bit overblown. Or at least it shouldn't be the most distasteful thing about him and his comedy. He has a very disproportionate amount of jokes in his arsenal on the topic, but for the majority of them they are just not all that offensive at all. His obsession with trans women is weird, though.

To me, the biggest turn off about Chappelle is the same thing that becomes a turn off regarding all comedians that become "f### you" levels of rich and famous and get too comfortable with that status bump. They become arrogant, self aggrandizing, and lose touch with the 99%. And it reflects in their comedy.

His last special, Dreamer, was basically an hour long masturbation session. All I kept thinking was how delusional he had become and I just wasn't interested in suffering through how high of an opinion he had of himself.

Not to mention he's a Michael Jackson apologist, has flirted with MAGA, thinks Jews control Hollywood, chummed around with Elon Musk, and blocked affordable housing in his community in Ohio. He also relies on and leans far too hard into the "you can't say anything anymore" and "anti-woke" rhetoric. The dude makes you put your phone in a black bag like some kind of demented substitute teacher.

Chappelle's Show is still hilarious.
