Here’s a video essay by ContraPoints that goes into it
Edit: if you alt right lurker chuds wanna actually comment we can talk about what I said that was wrong, but we all know you won’t. We can see your reduces and you have a REALLY pathetic post history
This is the limited knowledge I was referring to. I saw this video a while back and it stuck in my head. I haven’t seen anything by gervase really outside of this. Transphobia is a form of bigotry as far as I’m concerned so my point stands. It’s not ok to do and say bigoted things and go haha it’s just a joke. Or you just don’t get the joke while saying hateful things. Just because it was ok to shit on minority groups in the past doesn’t make it right or less bigoted. It’s possible to be funny and not a bigot, try harder Ricky.
His schtick is kind of cringe-meets-bullying… where they say bigoted things “ironically” but underlying that is the assumption that the targets of bigotry should be made fun of for the same reasons they are targets of bigotry.
he also likes his rape jokes.
I didn’t know about the transpobe bit ; his segment on rape jokes was enough to put me off him.

I got a friend that loves Gervais and struggles to see how bad he is.
I hope ContraPoints will help.

Yeah the guy really punches down.
