    Did the Chappelle thing go anywhere? I thought it was DOA, although I’m not familiar with the controversy at all.

    He made trans jokes? Or jokes about how he didn’t understand transsexuals?

    At least with Nestle. There’s a lot of actual corporate litigation going after the itself for utilizing child slavery.

    Hasn’t worked yet in legal forums, but there’s definitely a concerted effort to place the blame on the bad actor itself, whether an individual or in this case, the company itself.

    But the protestors identified Chappelle as the bad actor in his case right, so they didn’t want to penalize the entire platform for one bad actor?

    Boycotting all of YouTube instead of protesting the specific offensive YouTuber responsible for his own words doesn’t make sense to me.

    Like Nestle should be held accountable because The company is actively fighting for the retention of child slavery in their cocoa plantations to support their business operations.

    I don’t know what Netflix"s culpability would have been related to Dave Chappelle, a fraction of a fraction of a percent of their content and business model.
