But none of the actors are boycotting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/original_Screen_Shot_2022-11-10_at_9.13.55_AM.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The concern from the writers are Chappelle&#8217;s controversial jokes about transgender ideology, in which he&#8217;s poked fun at the concept that men can become women simply by donning some femme apparel, mannerisms, and saying they are so.<\/p>\n<p>Chappelle, who made many of the jokes during Netflix comedy specials, has <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-dave-chappelle-refuses-to-apologize-to-triggered-trans-activists-i-said-what-i-said\">refused to apologize<\/a> for the laughs, has embraced the concept of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/dave-chappelle-embraces-being-canceled\">being cancelled<\/a>&#8221; over the humor. The specials were, however, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/dave-chappelles-new-special-is-hilarious-despite-what-woke-media-tells-you\">hilarious<\/a>&#8221; according to many reports.<\/p>\n<p>But for SNL staff writers, the jokes that they deemed\u00a0transphobic and homophobic just went too far.<\/p>\n<p>This is not Yim&#8217;s first time taking aim at comedy for being too friendly to problematic comedians. She praised a fellow Canadian comedian for boycotting comedy festival Just for Laughs in 2018 over sexual assault allegations levied at the founder of the festival. That Mauser, who appears to go by they\/them pronouns, performed the boycott is a key component of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djmausner.com\/bio\">bio<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Yim wrote criticized Bill Burr for praising Louis C.K., saying &#8220;We\u2019re told that the endurance of rough circumstances is essential to a comedy backbone. What surrounds that backbone, however\u2014presenting as cisgender, being white, having money and expendable time\u2014matters. Evaluating merit in a system that only seems to value one kind of person lacks empathy; and it\u2019s a tradition that\u2019s becoming difficult to honour without criticism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yim also said it was wrong to laugh at Asian accents, and that so doing is a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/xw8wm4\/why-people-still-laugh-at-asian-accents-an-investigation\">form of racial violence<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A rep for Chappelle told Page Six that he attended a writers&#8217; meeting earlier in the week, and that \u201cthere was no evidence of a boycott.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The room was full of writers,&#8221; the rep said. &#8220;They all pitched ideas and they seemed very excited about it\u2026. Dave is looking to have some fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This will be Chappelle\u2019s third time hosting the sketch comedy show.
