He seems to think they are the same thing. He's far from an expert on this subject and on these terms, but he's certainly not a "radical" feminist in the first place, so he can't be a TERF without first being a radical feminist. In fact, he said he just found out what feminist means, so clearly this isn't an area he's been studying for years or anything. Can people be offended by him calling himself TERF? Sure. He said far worse things in the stand-up special though. Said he enjoyed being raped by a priest. Compared his body fighting coronavirus to black people on the street attacking Asians, basically equating Chinese people with the virus. It's supposed to be offensive, but I don't think Dave actually understands what a TERF really is, and he clearly said he respects trans enough to call them what they want to be called, and he said he's not saying they're not women, but he thinks gender is fact. I believe he means sex AKA chromosomes and body parts are fact, but I'll call you a woman if you want to be called one, which you can call an undereducated opinion, but he's not intentionally being hateful at all to trans people imo.
But yeah, one of the first responses in this thread was about Dave Chappelle thinking trans people were some kind of non human monsters, and this is the kind of nonsense you will hear from many trans activists. "You won't even acknowledge that I'm a human being" and "your speech is violence so you need to be silenced". It's nonsense.
Dave Chappelle is the biggest comedian in the world. He doesn't need to alter shit about his act. He's trying to save comedy from this death by 1000 cuts which it is currently undergoing.
Maybe in your world...
So without further ado, here are the most popular comedians in the world:
https://writtenfacts.com/most-popular-co...le%206%206.
1 Chris Rock
2 Kevin Hart
3 Tig Notaro
4 Bill Burr
5 Dave Chappelle
6 Jim Gaffigan
7 Jerry Seinfeld
8 Mike Birbiglia
9 Louis C.K
10 Amy Schumer
But we already knew to be skeptical of anything you present as fact.
Kevin Hart? I'm talking about stand-up comedy shows, not movies. No one on the planet respects Kevin Hart more than Dave Chappelle when it comes to comedy. And Amy Schumer is in the top ten?
8 % audience score. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/amy_schumer_growing 92 % think she's shit. Leather special rating was one star or something like that I believe. Netflix had to change the ratings system just to try to make her look better. Maybe if it was one of the few actual funny women on the planet like Roseanne Barr or someone like that, I might take your list even a little seriously. Roseanne is a woman that can actually bring in the ratings, and still would be if they didn't kick her off of her own show.
