Chappelle said he willing to meet with members of the LGBTQ community but is "not bending to anybody's demands." He also joked that one of the conditions for such a meeting is that "you must admit that Hannah Gadsby is not funny."
Fellow comic tweeted Sean Kent tweeted that it was "[Totally] unnecessary to take a shot at Hannah Gadsby and sick his internet trolls on her." Gadsby had earlier addressed Netflix co-chief executive officer Ted Sarandos -- who has supported Chappelle and his special amid criticism from some employees and supporters -- citing her as an example of the diverse artists featured on the streaming service.
"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," Gadsby wrote in a note on her verified Instagram account.
Some seething on twitter:

Somewhat unsurprisingly, a bit of a different reaction on r/television:
I wish Hannah Gadsby would address the allegations that she has benefitted from Tasmanian Aboriginal Genocide.
Itβs kind of shocking in 2021 that she feels she has the right to use her White Privilege to punch down at African American comedians when her familyβs real eatate was literally built atop the rags and bones of murdered babies.

Those r/Drama people genuinely disturb me. At least the fascists on subs like ConsumeProduct seem to genuinely care about the stupid shit they believe in (traditionalism, national pride, the importance of the nuclear family, sexual purity, etc.). Those drama freaks seem to value literally nothing but being as much of an inhuman and obnoxious piece of shit as possible in every direction the opportunity presents itself.
