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. 🧵 Screenshot of Daphne Dorman's "punching down" tweeScreenshot of Daphne Dorman's "punching down" twee
Thanks to the @internetarchive we can jump back in time to 3 weeks before Daphne’s death…

And she had 9 replies then, too. 🤔 September 19, 2019, Internet Archive Wayback Machine capture
Jump back in time another week to 4 weeks before Daphne died?

Still only 9 replies to Daphne’s “punching down” tweet! September 13, 2019, Internet Archive Wayback Machine captureSeptember 12, 2019, Internet Archive Wayback Machine captureSeptember 12, 2019, Internet Archive Wayback Machine captureSeptember 12, 2019, Internet Archive Wayback Machine capture
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! Screenshot of Daphne Dorman's "punching down" twee
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. Dave Chappelle: The Closer  When Sticks & Stones came out…
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. ⬇️

Dave Chappelle and I live in the same village: Yellow Springs, Ohio. I don’t know him. We’re merely co-residents among 3,900 or so others in that same small town. (Though typically Dave’s the only one new acquaintances ask me about when I mention where I’m from.) 🧵
By the way, this is going to be a ridiculously long thread and I’m warning you about that right now. So if you decide to read it, don’t act like you didn’t know what you were getting into.

When I was younger, I saw a handful of movies Dave appeared in. Villagers would sometimes say things like, “I went to a party with that guy from Men in Tights when he was in YS for the summer one time.” Which I guess seemed like a vaguely interesting piece of local trivia. 🤷
