I do. Act_of_Reparation May 2022 #76

Yes, I hated his routines on gay people. BlackSkimmer May 2022 #79

Could you explain the difference between hating a routine and not being offended or triggered by it? Act_of_Reparation May 2022 #81

Really? You need that explained? Perhaps I should have said I "disliked" his routines. BlackSkimmer May 2022 #85

It's semantics. Act_of_Reparation May 2022 #95

Ah, perhaps you missed the recent report that Chappelle's attacker says he was "triggered." BlackSkimmer May 2022 #97
