I never said he was a public servant or that he owed anyone anything. What I AM saying is that I think more people got the subtext than he thinks and he based his decision on a bunch of college bros. I do not think he reasons for leaving are nearly as pure and profound as you think they were.
You may think that, but he was the one performing in front of thousands of people every night. I think he might have a better grasp on his work than you do.
performing
in colleges towns
where he would see the worst of humanity
Sacramento, CA isn't a college town.
I mean, it has a few colleges, but that's as far as you can take the term.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

It would be like if Hussie finally decided that the troll porn was enough, and he wasn't making anymore damn Homestuck.
And that would entirely be in his rights.
Hussie has a surprisingly high tolerance for troll porn, really.
He is pretty "whatever the fuck they want to do" about it all, really. He's never lifted a finger to do anything about the quality of the ads on his website, for instance :P.
It's just really ironic because these are, very specifically, the sort of people he's always been making fun of, and now they are his fan base. He makes characters and plot points explicitly for the purpose of making fun of them, and they love it.

Those "college bros" included network officials encouraging him to play up the minstrelsy aspects and play down the social commentary.
As nice as it must have been when some person came up and said "Hey, that joke really made me think about my beliefs and I was a dick" it has to suck more when the people who sign your paychecks on a day to day basis are going "More minstrel show!". I can see that wearing someone down.
If you're performing Shakespeare for a bunch of chimpanzees and they just like to watch it when you swing your arms around and yell I think that's a justifiable reason to stop.

Is that what those "warming sensation" products do?
Sounds like a terrible idea.

Why waste money on lubricants, then?

Community thread. Seems like there's some kind of widespread, undeserved hate-on for Season 3.
Imaginary deaths are hard to cope with
Pretty much

I'm pretty sure he's still alive....
What? That someone started a hoax about him dying?
exactly how spicy can you get those lubricants
I want to make a girl feel the burn
I'm unsure of what chilli sauce would do to a vagina but I don't think it would be good.
Another reason I prefer having a penis is I can stick it into any kind of condiment I want
I'm reading Titus Andronicus right now.
That shit is not high culture.
I'm supposed to find that funny? Why?
On the other hand, Chapelle's social commentary has never been especially sophisticated.
Lemon juice does nasty things to vaginas.
You're paying with the PLANET
Looks like the latest celebrity death hoax. Or so says google news.
