    Now the fact that Dave disappeared to FUCKING OHIO and “worked on comedy” in fucking OHIO tells you everything you need to know about how fucking unfunny Dave Chappelle is now.

    I don’t think Yellow Springs, OH is the reason Dave Chappelle is now a transphobic asshole, as you’re suggesting. Yellow Springs was first started as an attempt to create a socialist utopia. It’s super hippie dippy, and home to a notable liberal arts school. It’s historically much much more liberal than the rest of Ohio.

    Also he’s lived there since like 2005, well before his transition into a transphobic asshole.

    In my opinion, the reason is money, along with the “fuck you I got mine” attitude that comes with oodles and oodles of money.

      It’s a liberal pocket of suburban ohio. Think of Bill Maher types but in a hippie bubble, that’s yellow springs.
