I do understand transphobia as its an issue which is particularly close to home (my son is FTM) and perhaps subconciously I gave Ricky a free pass, this has now been retracted though. I'm sorry for snapping at you. I've got my back up recently because of a lot of ignorant shit I keep seeing posted online, stemming from IRL shit I've recently found out some of my friends have been facing which I was completely oblivious to the whole time. Been meaning to quit posting online this year but I can't keep off efests because it's normally alright and I'm just on here out of habit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't see that it's unfunny bulling to mock one of the most systematically oppressed groups of people in the world, ridiculing their entire existence, at a time when the world's most powerful nation, the nation he lives and made the documentary in, is trying to legislate to make their lives difficult, then I really don't know what to say to you. You clearly don't know what free speech is. Its no different to mocking religious people, country/race stereotypes, thick people, fat people, people whose dead, sexual abuse victims, murder victims, ugly people, nerds etc etc really. All those things and more have be mocked on countless occassions, personally I dont give trans folk a pass any mote or less than those either. Everyone and everything is open in comedy. You either take it as a joke or be offended and dont watch anymore. You cant control peoples humour or how they think, something one person finds funny will be offensive to another, theres no levels to it where you can cross the line. If your open to anyone being mocked for comedy then your open to everyone being mocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Thievery Corporation. They're in Austria on Glasto Friday, and in the UK for a show for the following Friday. Fingers crossed, I thought they were excellent last summer (the wife thought they were rubbish and she's a big fan, but i think that was because they didn't play her favourites).

Henrik Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Fair enough, it's not a free speech issue. I should have said making a joke about trans people doesn't make you transphobic. Just as making a joke about dead babies doesn't mean you condone the killing of children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will but people shouldnt start a discussion if they only want to hear people agreeing 100% with them. And if your gonna start name calling cause someone doesnt agree with your opinion to the last detail then that says more about you than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, Im not offended so youve cocked up already. Inagree insults are subjective, being a called a c**t round my way is a term of endearment so cheers but Im guessing your were trying to be offensive, nevermind. Not sure what you were trying to achieve here cause youve failed at being funny, offensive or adding any point to the debate. Should have just said you think im a c**t and saved the bother of trying your hand at comedy really but I do appreciate the irony of you delivering a terrible joke in a debate about what merits offence in comedy. I think more people would. Probably find your crap attempt at humour more offensive than anything thats been debated so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Mouse Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Winslow Leach said: Nothing is funnier to me than Ricky Gervais setting up his entire career to be in a position where he could suck up to his idol on TV, only for his idol to take an instant dislike to him and rip him and his entire comedic persona to fucking tattered shreds. That episode of Extras was hilarious, but it wasn't real. Bowie and Gervais were apparently quite friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not referring to Bowie, I'm referring to Garry Shandling, who was on the third episode of 'Ricky Gervais Meets...' and bodied him so utterly that the series was quietly abandoned.
