Dave Chappelle Calls Out The Hypocrisy Of The #MeToo Movement In His New Standup ‘The Closer’
From black people “beating up Asians for no reason” and other race relations, to the LGBTQ (no longer the Alphabet People) community, to feminism, to the Me Too movement, Dave Chappelle pokes fun and provides insight into many contentious subjects in the country in his latest – and last, at least “for a minute” – Netflix special, "The Closer."
Chappelle’s latest special opens with him standing in front of a maskless crowd, in an intimate, close setting. For a moment, you forget it was recorded in August 2021, at least until he mentions his personal experience with vaccination and Covid-19. But it doesn’t take long for Chappelle to hit many hot-topic subjects, one of which is the Me Too movement. He illustrates the flaws with it, the superficiality and vapidness around it when it hit Hollywood, and the hypocrisy around it. Chappelle isn’t wrong about it at all, and he actually offers a bit of advice of what could have gone differently – and maybe what we can change – with the movement.
