It’s Impossible To Overstate Just How Awful Ricky Gervais’ New Violently Transphobic Netflix Special Is | The Mary Sue

Violent? No. Violence is 14 dead children shot by a man in Texas, not someone being told they aren't a woman because they're pornsick and hate women.

Looks like the murderer was a TIM, too.

Do you have a source for that? Everything I’ve read simply describes him as an 18 year old male.

Only the photo on a news site (I don’t remember which one), and that may have been inaccurate going by what users here have seen since.

I didn't get that. But it certainly wouldn't surprise me that, after he's killed his grandmother and murdered a dozen schoolchildren or so, he self-ID's as a woman in the belief he'll get a lighter sentence and/or be housed in a woman's prison.

There does seem some question about whether the TIM pictures were actually the murderer, but he was killed, wasn’t he?

HAHAHA THE IRONY OF THIS ARTICLE TALKING ABOUT LITERAL VIOLENCE

Ricky EXPLICITLY made fun of this part in the special. It was an extremely crass joke where he talked about "punching down" and he joked about talking about physically punching down on a disabled baby versus physically dragging one out on stage and actually punching down on it. To paraphrase: "You all laughed at the first one, but none of you would be laughing if I did the second, would you?"

He called out the whole "words are literal violence" thing and it was very clear this was directed at the TRA crowd who LOVE to use this line and they've just fucking proven him right by destroying his bench (ACTUAL violence! On public property!) and writing this stupid article.

And here's the thing - this entire special felt kind of off. Ricky was breaking out into a lot of nervous laughter, a lot of his material seemed more offensive than his previous specials, he covered a LOT of controversial topics. They were jokes for sure but he seemed to be purposefully going for all the taboo subjects. And that's the thing like with Chapelle - they really only get riled up about trans stuff!

He joked about pedophilia, rape, abortion, murder, punching a disabled baby ffs, but no, what the TRA found offensive was what he said about transwomen and their dicks. And those weren't even true jokes because Ricky is literally parroting what EVERY "argument" to TERFs go!

Over and over again these stupid idiots prove everyone's point. They are the untouchable. They'll cancel you. They're oppressed and fragile and they'll kill themselves. Ricky said so many more worse things than JKR ever did in her essay about trans people - not transphobic things, just blunt and without tact - and he said he included trans people in his jokes because they "want to be treated like everyone else", that's the point of inclusivity, and that it's insinuating X group of people are too sensitive to handle a joke when you exclude them. But they're just fucking proving him and the world right over and over.

Enjoy the TRA tears, Ricky. Cheers 😎

Exactly. Just watched it as well, and he called out IN THE SPECIAL ITSELF that he'd just joked about "pedophilia, rape, abortion, murder, punching a disabled baby" (and Hitler and the Holocaust) over the course of the past hour and that none of that was going to get headlines. And he was right. Like, he didn't need to be a prophet to be right because Chapelle made pretty much the exact same callout in one of his specials, but it's just baffling.

His joke of "If I had the chance to time-travel to stop the Holocaust but in return would be born a bit more ginger... yeah, sorry Jews." gets absolute crickets in the media. "I love the new women with their beards and cocks" is apparently LITERAL VIOLENCE.

Last year, Netflix faced intense controversy over Dave Chappelle’s comedy special...Now, Netflix is proving that they learned exactly nothing from that ordeal

Au contraire, it seems like they learned that Twitter is not real life

[–] Califasauros 2 points

Yes, and Netflix came to realize that its alphabet / preferred pronoun employees were friggin nuts. That they actually believe that because they sport preferred pronouns in their badges and trumpet gender identity nonsense at every turn, they have the right to dictate content to seasoned corporate execs.

I'm often critical of mega corporations and their profit-maximizing culture, but it's great to see the adults in these institutions finally waking up and realizing that these "Lord of the Flies" young people...these "Children of the Corn" woke lunatics are going to cause the walls to come crashing down around them all.

When it's money on the line companies will get back to tip top shape. The trans agenda is no longer making money, despite being heavily bankrolled.

[–] crodish 4 points

It'll be interesting to know how much money and views they made behind the scenes for both that gross pedophilic show (Cuties or something?) and Chapelle's Closer and now Supernature. I'm not sure how to feel about their "free speech, don't like don't watch" being extended also to pedophilic content.

There’s a deep obsession with trans people’s genitals and he deliberately misgenders his hypothetical trans villains throughout.

“Oh, women!” he starts. “Not all women, I mean the old-fashioned ones. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. Those fucking dinosaurs. I love the new women. They’re great, aren’t they? The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and cocks. They’re as good as gold, I love them. And now the old-fashioned ones say, ‘Oh, they want to use our toilets.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’ ‘For ladies!’ ‘They are ladies — look at their pronouns! What about this person isn’t a lady?’ ‘Well, his penis.’ ‘Her penis, you fucking bigot!’ ‘What if he rapes me?’ ‘What if she rapes you, you fucking TERF w***e?’”

I don't know what they're talking about. He says he loves the new women. He says he loves their beards and cocks. He makes a point of correcting a TERF's language and uses terms like "her penis."

How is that "misgendering"? He's literally reading their internet comments back to them.

[–] Carthimundia 10 points

I know! He's expressing the standard TRA view. The hypothetical TERF having the conversation with him is misgendering the 'trans woman' by using male pronouns. Gervais retorts with 'they are ladies', and 'HER penis', 'SHE'. He doesn't misgender TIMS at all in this piece. Unless the writer of this piece is not so secretly uncomfortable with TIMS with dicks being called 'she' and 'her"?

In the comments:

Fuck you Ricky Gervais for ruining one of my favorite evaluations of an actor: "Anyone who has acted with Muppets is automatically cool" He doesn't even qualify for the Bill Cosby/Chris Langham exception of people convicted of heinous crimes.

I'm sorry but I may not be understanding this correctly... Is this deranged loser seriously saying these jokes are literally worse than the actual rape that Cosby did? And a pedophile? Please someone tell me I'm understanding this comment wrong. Please.

I don't want to go down to their level of "die terf scum and choke on my girl cock" but reading shit like this is making me see red.

Watching it now!! God bless the “militant” atheist crew like Gervais. They’ve got their bullshit detectors on and they’re used to dealing with death threats from extremists!

[–] Califasauros 0 points

Well, not ALL the "militant" atheists, of course. The Atheist Experience out of Austen, Texas, and Rationalwiki have both SERIOUSLY bought into the gender woo....they have yet to back down.

I'm guessing that passionate, proselytizing atheists, being human, are just as susceptible, to schisms and divisiveness as any other demographic.

"Violently transphobic," eh? Unfriggin' believable. Yet another goddamm gunman in my country has killed a female family member (violently misogynistic, anyone?) AND shot up a school, killing scores of children (violently....is there even a word for people who hate children? Childphobic...Childphobia?) And, yet these God damn genderist ideologues equate Ricky Gervais' comedy routine with literal violence.

Now, mind you, some of Gervais' jokes played with misogynist and racial tropes...just as his other jokes played with transphobic tropes, but this Mary Sue writer never once thought that Ricky was VIOLENTLY 🤪 misogynist or VIOLENTLY 🤪 racist.. No, it's just the special elite caste known as trans that is so coddled...so protected from criticism and parody.

And, meanwhile, another dozen or so children in Texas are killed by a deranged gunman...literally killed.

I've begun to really hate the gender identity movement and its ideology...not the people caught up in it, but its effect on people.

That this Mary Sue writer could libel Ricky Gervais and his comedy routine in such a deceitful and disgusting way ("Violently transphobic," my arse) boils my blood.

He literally jokes about masturbating exclusively in a room wallpapered with Hitler's baby pictures covered in his cum.

Like.

Y'all don't see lesbians up in arms about the lesbians as the butt of his jokes. Or homosexuals, fat people, women etc

[–] Chronicity 2 points

I know, right? He purposely created the most obscene images to see if anyone would take offense. And as predicted, the only jokes that have earned him wrath is the trans stuff. Which when you look at them come no where as close to provocative as that baby Hitler joke or the AIDS one.

[–] [Deleted] 20 points

Do you all ever realize that it's only we've violence when it's targeted towards men? Like homophobia against women, slurs against women, misogyny etc are always used by their correct terms. No over exaggeration, none allowed. But when it's towards men, even just plain criticism it's suddenly violence and radical. It's why something as benign as just centering and siding with women is seen as a radical form of feminism.

[–] [Deleted] 10 points

I definitely believe in emotional abuse. But with those terms, men have more opportunities to play the victim. Women don't kill or physically abuse men to alarming rates, everyone knows this (even if some people lie). That's why more and more men claim that women emotionally abuse them. I've heard so often that women and men are equally abusive because women are manipulative and emotionally abusive to men. Apparently, our words are just as bad as their physical violence. Not just TIMs claim this, it's a general male problem.

That is a rave review. Nearly everyone will know Gervais was hilarious and totally on the mark about the "trans" nonsense. Let the TCult and wokerati rant away - that will just amplify the show and get even more people to watch, and agree with Gervais.

These responses are so over the top you’d think they were poes law if you didn’t know better
