Comedian Marc Maron criticized Netflix for its continued support of Dave Chappelle, suggesting that the decision reflects how “fascism” can be beneficial for business. Speaking on “Pod Save America,” Maron argued that Netflix prioritized profit over concerns from the transgender community regarding Chappelle’s controversial jokes, treating their pushback as insignificant to its bottom line. He dismissed Netflix’s past promotion of LGBTQ+ content as merely “throwing [them] a bone,” stating that the platform ultimately favors more lucrative projects. Maron also took aim at Bill Maher, suggesting that his attempts to critique “woke” culture come off as desperate. Chappelle faced backlash for his 2021 special “The Closer” and continued to make gender-related jokes in his recent work, maintaining a partnership with Netflix despite controversies.
