Dave Chappelle lied in #TheCloser about Daphne Dorman being Twitter-bullied: #Speedrun Edition!
tw // suicide
Contemporary screenshots posted in tweets from separate users 2 days after Daphne’s death show there were only 9 replies to her “punching down” tweet when she died. 🧵
Thanks to the @internetarchive we can jump back in time to 3 weeks before Daphne’s death…
And she had 9 replies then, too. 🤔
Jump back in time another week to 4 weeks before Daphne died?
Still only 9 replies to Daphne’s “punching down” tweet!
Then just to really bring the point home, let’s hop back to this contemporary screenshot posted ≈6 weeks before Daphne’s death / ≈2 days after she posted the “punching down” tweet. (With a “1d” Twitter timestamp on the screenshot, no less.)
Only 4 replies!
The trans community didn’t bully #DaphneDorman for defending #DaveChappelle on Twitter.
That part of Dave’s story was unkind slander against a marginalized community. #Netflix gave it a huge platform without fact-checking.
This #TransAwarenessWeek, STOP SPREADING THE LIE.
Oh, and if you’re about to tweet something at me like:
🗣️ “But what about…?” “But Daphne’s family said…” “You’re just trying to cancel…” etc.
Go read my earlier thread, because I probably already addressed whatever you want to yell at me about. ⬇️
