The real sad story here is what's not spelled out. Chappelle keeps 'punching down' at trans people, and Netflix keeps throwing buckets of money at him. Why? Because people, lots of people, love to watch Dave Chappelle mock the trans community. Netflix does not do anything that doesn't comply with their algorithm and statistics. It is a cold blooded, by the numbers company. Which means that they have the receipts to prove that their continued support of the very expensive Dave Chappele is worth it. That's the sad truth and it bums me out.

I'm rephrasing a quote from a user I saw last week but basically Netflix corp made a conscious decision, Transphobic money is worth it to them.

I haven't set up a media server in a long time but I can't keep blinding supporting this shit out of convenience.
