If the show is any indication, she's not a very good actor and absolutely shouldn't have to deal with even a single tweet of racist garbage from dweeby fuckups who get scared whenever a POC is on screen.

Being told that “you need to support this thing that sucks because BAD people hate it” is the essence of being american in the 21st century

so sick of all you losers spewing BS about GROOMING with grown women. When its what they want its all, IM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR.. when its not I WAS A WITTLE GURL AND HE GROOMED ME.. They even try that nonsense at 40.. No ones buying it anymore. Can join the army but foreign wars are nothing compared to the…

These jokes seem to be a play on pronouns, and at no point imply that trans people are less-than, or should be banned, or don’t exist, or whatever. It’s not explicitly offensive, it’s not even “noticing” something like a stereotype. 

Anyone who is offended by this is a performance artist.

You should read through the discussion I’ve been having with Blind Prophet. It probably covers all the points you’d make and my rebuttals.

I still don’t really see why it’s troubling when we’re talking about source material that is consistently unrealistic and where regular humans routinely perform feats that defy science. In The Dark Knight Rises, Batman recovers from a broken back through willpower and determination. In the comics, Joker’s face was…

So you take issue with the fact that Barbara recovered at all? In the comics, she recovered from the injury. In that regard, Gotham Knights is faithful to the comics so it seems odd to target that particular complaint against the game instead of the source material.

Two multi-millionaires shot a music video using children to provide unpaid labour, and that’s your takeaway?

maybe she should’ve pretended standup mattered to her in the past two decades or something

Being proud of your own ignorance and choosing to live in a bubble isn’t necessarily a good thing. 

That’s one theory. The other theory is that making 172 hours of television a year for 20 years is stressful and isolating from average life. Plus when you’re a cash cow, few people will call you on your descent into jerkdom until it’s too late. So even if the nice and kind was genuine in the beginning, unless you’re a…

The cancellation of the sitcom “Ellen” is a source of much academic debate, actually. There are people who come down firmly in the camp of it being because of homophobia, but other people look at the numbers, the declining profitability of the show, and said it was due to ratings. Unless the executive who made the…

Dismiss laserfacelvr every chance you get. 

Everything Gervais says seems pretty on point. This is the perspective from the side of reality. 

there are multiple styles of stand up, one of them is making fun of stuff. just because trans is the new starvingblack baby in africa doesnt mean it should be ignored in stand up. how pathetic must your lives be if you have to look for stuff to get offended by? that is not hard to do but it does show your iq

I’m not even going to comment on the Gervais of it all, but if your hyperbolic headline is going to be “Netflix is carving out a little niche for itself as the home of transphobic comedy,” don’t be surprised if the majority of American just... ignore all this, the same way Mulaney ignored any and all of the discourse…

Oh good. There’s a place for all of us to enjoy a variety of comedy styles then. Not just the ones you approve of. But please, tell us more about what’s funny and what’s not funny, Miss Comedy Police.

You should stick to flipping burgers.

“It’s hard to imagine how Gervais’ special, which draws a direct connection between trans women and rapists, does not “incite hate or violence.”
