Marc Maron on Netflix choosing Dave Chappelle over the trans community: “When they had pushback from the trans community about Chappelle, they realized after several days that that community was not going to affect their bottom line at all & they cut ‘em loose. That’s how fascism works in business.”
Maron’s going all in on calling out the rot in the standup community, I’m here for it

They’ve done things like this over and over again, where mocking marginalised or minority groups are their fun. Lots of racist or bigoted comedians have been given a platform to spread hatred by Netflix and when there has been backlash, it’s been ignored. Like when Jimmy Carr made those sickening holocaust “jokes” about the roma who are to this day, the most disadvantaged minority group in the entirety of Europe and have never received real recognition for their suffering. 120 parliamentarians signed a letter for Netflix to remove it from the special. It’s still up.
If they can make money, they will, even if they’re profiting from fascism, racism – you name it.

pretty much exactly how it works, and I would add that it goes beyond Netflix to the whole of the great deformed leviathan of corporatism. late cultural capitalism at its finest

I’m glad at least one big name in comedy is saying this shit. And nice bracket work, Variety. You can make LGBT content and still be transphobic pieces of shit. It really takes the air out of the full quote to throw in some corporation glazing.

My husband and I watched Marc Maron’s latest standup (Panicked) on HBO last week, and it’s so fucking good. He’s in a space we rarely see white men occupying: aging, grieving, insecure, and getting incredibly vulnerable with all of it.
I know he’s not perfect – no one is, especially comedians – but damned if he’s not getting better with time. (Unlike Chappelle.)

Another comedian who I like. And apparently another victim of “I have zero sense of humor, I am offended”. Sad, but actually kinda funny.
