CMV: Dave Chappelle is a jester. let him be one

A lot of people feel attacked by Chappelle's jokes about Trans people. I understand what they are feeling but they're targeting the wrong person. 

Stage comedy is the one podium that is meant for making jokes about any kind of people. It's not reflecting on the views of the person who makes the joke. It's an opportunity to put any subject in any light without judgment of the content of what's being said. 

Stand up what society desperately needs to reflect on itself. By prohibiting comedians from taking a stage because of what they're saying on the stage, society is lacking in one of its most important tasks: being able to take a blow. 

Comedians are the jesters of modern day society. They have the specific task to make a mockery out of anything and everything. When someone doesn't like to mocked, that's who they'll mock. 

Comedians are not politicians. Comedy shows are no political rallies. If you go to a comedy show and you expect to hear someone's personal views on things, you're in the wrong place. 

Comedians need a carte blanche. The only thing they should be judged on is whether they are funny or not. Everything else is within limits.

If you don't think it's funny, then don't go. Just don't take anything a jester says personally. If you feel attacked, if anything, it's a call for self reflection.

Edit - delta because Chappelle should view himself as a jester. But he defends his points off stage and therefore he jeopardizes his role as a comedian.

You say that, but he doesn't. He doesn't make racist jokes, and in fact has previously walked away from comedy because of the impact of his own comedy that centred on race.  He understands the impact that comedy can have on vulnerable populations, and despite your claim about "no limits" he places limits on himself, so as to avoid hurting people he cares about.

The difference between jokes about race and jokes about trans people, is that he doesn't give a shit about trans people, and is happy to hurt them, because he doesn't care about them.

So no, he doesn't "joke without limits".
