Alt Right Cat Owning Hitler Vegan Ricky Gervais has gone full right winger oh shit

Lol. He's a legend.

A shitty transphobe he may be, that was still a decent come back.

No he hasnt.

Never found him funny.

That's because he isn't.

Transphobia really does seem like the gateway drug into far right nonsense.

I think it demonstrates that most far right idealogy comes from fear. All you have to do is pick the right thing (no pun intended) someone is afraid of you and use that to make them believe your nonsense.

Jesus, people really are unironically purity checking Ricky in this thread. It was meant to be taken as tongue in cheek, but people really do be up in their feelings over a nothingburger.

Reminds me of when the trumpers called any right winger who didn't suck Trump's cock a woke lib(slur) fake republican. Guess when you're an extremist who's delusional about their placement on the political spectrum, anyone who isn't in direct agreement with you on all issues must be on the complete other side.

Stop acting like a child.

I legit didn't realize people would get their panties in a twist over such an innocuous thing. I thought people would come in here and have a bit of a laugh. I was wrong apparently.

I mean, if you look at historical progress hes literally talking about like biblical times. Theyre worshipping WHO over there? Ahura Mazda? Thats not WHITE

Gervais was one of the early adopters of the delusion shared by comics these days that if something they isnt well received its because eVeRYOne iS OffENDed!!! and it cant possibly be that its simply not funny.

No you didn't.

You made the post knowing what would happen and now you are pretending to be shocked.

We're not buying, little buddy.

I had a conservative coworker literally tell me they didn't want to hear facts after they asked me to explain how Trump is racist.

Ok Alex Jones. Stop trying to pretend you're professor X and know the thoughts and intentions of other people. You're pulling it out of your ass because you're butthurt and want to build some sort of conspiracy theory.

Ricky Gervais did nothing wrong.

He's obviously being tongue in cheek there, but he's still an asshole.

This and I hate how lots of comics are nowadays and how they will still defend assholes just because they're fellow comics.

There's nothing wrong with blocking people. If they annoy you, yeeting and deleting them from your life and never thinking about them again is a great strat. I do it all the time on CE.

Alex Jones and Professor X are equivalent?

You need to try a little harder to make good allegories.

God, maybe I was wrong and you're just this bad at the internet.

Why do you even care about trans women existing if youre already married to a cis woman?

Like, in the past on this board youve literally only ever been ATTACKED for anything by another transphobe (@Slayer_22), so whats with your agenda of disparaging trans folks at every turn?

Nah. People laugh at his shows bc he's funny. Then someone who would never pay to see his show reads a transcript of the joke after the fact and gets offended. It's not like he's selling out shows, only to bomb and then blaming snowflakes. He's selling out shows, getting huge laughs, and then getting random tweets from sad sacks after the fact.

He jokes about the random tweeters being offended. He's not trying to pass the buck on unfunny jokes to offended people. Part of his shtick is to offend.

One of the things that irks me is people using terms like "right wing" and "conservative" interchangeably.

They are the same thing.

Remember this later when you claim he's canceled.

Funny how all these "canceled" right wingers are multi millionaires with huge platforms making millions from their huge audiences

TC, you can see how bad the team politics is on this board (on the internet in general). There are two boxes and everyone has to be put in a box so what are you going to do

Please find a single instance of me claiming he's canceled. The only 3 people in the world who have been somewhat "cancelled" are Weinstein, Spacey, and Al Franken, who all claim to be liberals.

Ricky has been offending for years and got invited back to host the Golden Globes like 3 times bc of it lol.

He's getting called right wing because of a joke he made. Right wing isn't interchangeable with conservatism or authoritarianism.

Just like how being left wing doesn't defacto make you liberal.

I consistently make the mistake of expecting better from CE, but there's too many special individuals here.

It must be your first week on the internet.

"Facts over feelings"

(Indisputable facts appear)

"I feel that's fake news"

In todays political climate?

Fuck no. You must be trolling or have been asleep the last 12 years.

If yall think Ricky Gervais is a right wing conservative, you should really take a minute and do some research on his opinion about religion.

Ricky like most conservatives is too stupid to realize the hypocrisy of getting upset over people getting upset over facts versus feelings

"Facts don't care about your feelings"

*cries when fee fees are hurt by reality constantly disagreeing with beliefs*

I mean any Trump supporter who says "Facts don't care about your feelings" is either the biggest hypocrite or biggest idiot since that guy from the Upperclass Twit of the Year Monty Python sketch who run himself over

Average cancel culture enjoyer

I think its pretty funny that literally their entire routine is now about the left being "offended" but they throw toddler tantrums when criticized for their own actions.

"Facts over feelings" is one of the most dubiously-iconic catchphrases of Shapiro, as well as common rhetoric among alt-right assholes.

Public figures falling down alt-right rabbit holes isn't an uncommon thing either.

You throw nothing but the topic title and the tweet out and you're at least gonna have a few double takes.

That said I don't know jack shit about Gervais other than he was in the original Office and he did a few stints at the Oscars, lol
