Hannah Gadsby Says 'F*ck You' To Netflix Exec Who Used Her As Inclusivity Example Hannahgadsby
Yes, people of the internet… Netflix pulled the ‘I have a Black friend’ defense when people criticized Dave Chapelle’s final comedy show for the streamer.
In the special, Chapelle, no matter how you look at his brand of comedy, punches down. For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, comedy works best when you “punch up” or make jokes at people who have a bigger platform in society. Chapelle, for all his supposed edginess, was most decidedly punching down.Sarandos has been working overtime to defend the streamer’s choice to air the special. The Netflix executive sent a memo to his staff to defend Chappelle’s work.
“So we have Sex Education, Orange Is the New Black, Control Z, Hannah Gadsby, and Dave Chappelle all on Netflix. Key to this is increasing diversity on the content team itself,” he listed as examples.A post shared by Dr. Hannah Gadsby “Hey Ted Sarandos! Just a quick note to let you know that I would prefer if you didn’t drag my name into your mess. Now I have to deal with even more of the hate and anger that Dave Chappelle’s fans like to unleash on me every time Dave gets 20 million dollars to process his emotionally stunted partial world view,” she wrote.
“Fuck you and your amoral algorithm cult…. I do shits with more backbone than you,” she wrote, stressing that her comments were a “joke” and that she couldn’t cross any lines by saying so, as Sarandos already told the world “there isn’t one.”
