Alright, so the person seems to be called "Dave Chappelle" and here are some articles I've found: https://www.vox.com/culture/22738500/dave-chappelle-the-closer-daphne-dorman-trans-controversy-comedy

I'm not gonna bother with this specific format anymore just like with the "change my mind" one and I will change the title of the post to give more attention to this issue as the meme is very popular.

There's origin of this meme format: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/yall-got-anymore-of-tyrone-biggums

Props.

fwiw people have made lots of variations on the "change my mind" meme that don't feature white nationalists. Same goes for the insanely popular Drake yeah/nah meme. I would not be surprised if the same is true here.

Yeah, I know about the variations of those but nothing came to my mind when thinking about this format or something similar to it. Hmmm...

Really? Memes have the jester's privilege imo.

I just don't thing that giving attention to those people is good unless it's specifically about mocking them. Not like the second thing doesn't do the same thing as first one but yeah... Personal opinions and stuff.

Edit: also I don't get how anyone can be fine with having transphobes in their regular memes. Each your laugh will be accompanied by disgust of seeing a pos alongside the text.

My favourite lack-of-pixels meme
