Dave Chappelle lied in #TheCloser about Daphne Dorman being Twitter-bullied: #Speedrun Edition!

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. 🧵

@AmericaRealName @Variety Ah, yes, that classic form of virtue signalling that consists of… honestly saying what town you live in.

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@AmericaRealName @CassieVulpine @gregorybreen @jessiegender …do YOU know what it means?

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@AmericaRealName @Variety This account was created to discuss the end of Dave's recent special and his Twitter-based accusations here ON Twitter. Doesn't make it fake. Everything I've posted is verifiable if you want to spend more than two seconds, but doesn't seem like you do. 🤷 Luckily I don't care.

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@AmericaRealName @Variety Oh, yeah, you've done such awesome research that you don't even know how many hotels we have here (hint: it's not plural).

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@AmericaRealName @Variety I live in that town, but sure, try to explain life here to me I guess.

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@Rdot213 @Variety Dave went to high school in Washington, DC, not Ohio. (And while Yellow Springs High School isn't perfect, it wouldn't be fair to call it "just like the south" either. Black students literally went there for high school when their southern school shut down rather than integrate.)

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@AmericaRealName @Variety Oh my god, he didn't "literally save" the town. ����

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@bobbyTObrown @Variety His cornfield shows weren't a charity drive. Some tourist-oriented shops seeing an increase in foot traffic isn't "saving" the town. Places are more than money changing hands.

@0kmmakkol1 @1nsertjokehere @LVO_DLC @Hodlsmobile @AndrewYang Do you want congratulations on your ability to write off a whole group of people because you don't like how you've see some of them act online?

(And OH THE IRONY of you saying this in a #yanggang thread. Wow.)

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@0kmmakkol1 @1nsertjokehere @LVO_DLC @Hodlsmobile @AndrewYang There're more details linked in the thread; not my fault if you decide not to read.

But also Dave's made up story about why his friend died when her other friends & family say he got it wrong for sure isn't helping honor Daphne as a whole person who had a real life beyond Dave.

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@aoscruggs @tressiemcphd He didn't go to high school here in YS. The visit was to Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, DC.

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@1nsertjokehere @LVO_DLC @Hodlsmobile @AndrewYang The trans community literally didn't do that, though. Dave isn't perfectly in his right to get upset over something he made up. https://t.co/4zy2OZzQHl

@OldManBobb @jessiegender The part where Dave made up that story about the trans community bullying Daphne was pretty darn anti-trans. https://t.co/4zy2OZzQHl

So now he’s just stating TERF talking points under the veil of “jokes”, just lazy repackaging of hatred under the guise of “just humor”. Remember when Chappelle left his show because he felt it normalized racism? Guess it doesn’t matter for transphobia https://t.co/K9hMnkmyob

@jman3233 Are you accusing me of hacking the @internetarchive to Photoshop it, or…?

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@Idaxxian_Sentry Actually read the thread, though. There were never more than 9 replies checking in at various times before she died (and the replies were nice to her). Most of the replies came after her death, at which point nothing anyone said could've influenced her choice.

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@Da_Truth_Hurts0 What, Twitter? Kind of irrelevant since what I've been writing about is the village where Dave and I live in the real world.

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

@DameDiva Since that's the specific tweet Dave cited, it's the logical place to start. But to be clear, you didn't actually read the thread? Because I checked a hell of a lot more than that. https://t.co/UvPzzMfHaf

[SpringsInMyStep @SpringsInMyStep]

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. ⬇️

@cheryllynneaton … I'm extremely confused about how he thinks forgiveness works.
