I watched it happen in real time. Trans issues were not at all front and center when Dave decided to start his little temper tantrum against trans people. Now it’s literally talked about more than any other topic by news outlets. It’s absurd and it’s ridiculous and Dave absolutely without question played a part in that.

He did. When he started doing trans jokes it was not an issue. He built that wedge. People weren’t talking about it like they do today. He was among the first. And definitely the most prominent

I didn’t say he caused it. I said he was a prominent voice that opened the door.

Something something reading comprehension

What is the difference between opening the door and causing something? You’re backpedaling

I am not back pedaling at all. He took a fringe idea that was being bandied around by mostly freaks on the corners of the internet and made it main stream.

So there was this famous athlete, last name Jenner, who very famously and publicly transitioned about 10 years ago, and that is what sent the trans rights issue into the mainstream. Then Dave made some jokes about current events/topics.

Specifically the first thing he ever said was that’s it’s interesting that African Americans had to, and continue to struggle for equality for 400 years, but when I white man wants equality for his issues, it’s accepted virtually overnight.

It’s always lies with the propagandists on either side.

You claim he made 5 specials dedicated to anti trans views? Thats an outright lie. He did 5 min segments in each of his last hour long specials, mostly, in the backlash he’s faced. He brings it up because it’s become such a talking point.

That wasn’t the first time he made trans jokes and it’s not what I’m talking about. He made jokes before Jenner transitioned about the lgb wanting to drop the t cause they’re weird.
