What Dave and other mainstream comics fail to acknowledge is when they traffic in ridiculing vulnerable people for laughs, there can be ripple effects that will never touch those comics, but have dangerous and life-threatening potential consequence for others
to everyone that thought that shit was hilarious...are you in any potential danger from the collective attitude/disdain for LGBTQ folk?
if the answer is no, you have no right to complain about the rightful critique of his highly-visible special.
And whether or not she enjoyed his special is irrelevant...clearly she was suffering from the very thing he was so gleefully making fun of.
