Sure did - Chapelle called out the easily-offended sissies and of course nowadays you just cant do such a thing. God forbid we make fun of someone or something. So, so triggered. Id like to see how long these "woke" people would last with some of the classic stand up acts that didnt have to watch every word they say or avoid so many situations as not to *offend* someone.

Maybe to you, sure. A good standup act could be very funny to others. Of course, as I said above, a lot of people now cant handle stand up without feeling butt-hurt. I suspect that has a lot to do with Netflix's decision. Whatever....
