Well, I saw a bit of that Dave Chappell schtick. Then he started in on LBGT people. I thought he was as funny as cancer. So I watched something else. I do not suggest for a minute that he needs to change his act. Imo freedom of speech must include the right to offend. If he offends enough people, they will simply not watch him or go to his live shows.
In 1991 I saw Eddy Murphy's stand up, on tape. It was called "RAW" . He came across as a misogynistic pig. So I turned him off. Still don't like his slick, facile persona. So I don't watch any of his movies. He has the right to be as offensive/plain obnoxious as he likes. I have the right not to watch him.
My favourite American stand up comics; The late great George Carlin and Lewis Black. Generally, I far prefer Aussie or British humour.
