      Ehhh, I’m pretty willing to give him some broad license in telling it. Given her note, you can pretty easily imagine some argument with members of her smaller, more irl friends, who would probably delete or have done things in small chats.

      It’s like when Chappelle talks about being confronted in the restaurant, I don’t expect the guy was actually a 6"5 Texan gay wedding a knotted shirt…

        You’re comparing a set up for a joke to what is an apparently seriously delivered statement about what drove someone he calls a friend to suicide.

        And I completely disagree, he’s not entitled to license when it comes to discussing her suicide. Especially when he’s presenting it as the truth, especially when he’s using it to castigate members of a minority that are criticizing him, especially when he’s using her corpse as a shield against criticism.

        Like, you get how inventing a trans mob that harassed a trans woman into suicide right after he got publicly criticized for transphobia is at bare minimum shithead behavior, right?

        “Dave has a close trans friend though”

        “he was lying”

        “yeah but it’s ok when Dave lies”
