Michelle Buteau Criticizes Dave Chappelle's Anti-Trans Jokes in Netflix Special

In her new Netflix special, Buteau calls Chappelle's jokes about the transgender community dangerous and urges comedians to create humor that doesn't harm marginalized groups.

Michelle Buteau's Netflix special, 'A Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall,' critiques Dave Chappelle's history of anti-transgender jokes in his comedy specials.
Buteau argues that comedy can address sensitive topics without disparaging entire communities and labels Chappelle's approach as harmful and unfunny.
She jokingly redefines Chappelle's 'GOAT' title to mean 'going off on trans people,' emphasizing her disapproval of his rhetoric.
Chappelle's past Netflix specials, including 'The Closer' and 'The Dreamer,' have faced backlash for transphobic content, leading to protests and employee walkouts at Netflix.
Buteau expressed her desire to use comedy to make audiences feel safe and seen, contrasting her approach with Chappelle's controversial material.
