"Maybe you watch comedy specials to endure them, but I watch them to have a good time, and I stop watching them when that's no longer the case. Chappelle argues this makes me 'too sensitive, too brittle'; I just think I have better things to do than watch a standup set that could just as well have been a Fox News special.

It's so annoying; I asked my queerness to chill in the other room so I could watch 'The Closer' in peace, but no such luck." -- Saeed Jones (theferocity), "Dave Chappelle’s Betrayal", GQ, 2021-10-11
