Interesting piece but this is where this article completely misses the mark.
Lil Duval doesnt give a fuck. Hes an asshole and thats always been his brand of comedy. You want to put forth this mission statement as to what a comedian is. Good for you. Thats why youre a film critic instead of somebody that, you know, actually does something of value in this world.
Chapelle gave you the decency of even responding to you. The letter is a simple acknowledgment that you give a fuck about what he says and hes wishing you the best. The fact that you expect him to change his opinions because you spewed off a couple things he probably knew already is narcissistic and self-absorbed. Dude is not going to rewrite jokes because you sent him a letter, he is making jokes that communicate how he feels without purposely trying to offend and Im glad that Chapelle doesnt listen to people like you, because thats the reason hes one of the funniest comics in the world.
Chapelle makes fun of EVERYBODY. You people will never transcend your suffering if you spend all your time writing articles for the 50 new comics that are going to make transgender jokes next year.
