What did the trans community ever do to society and white male comedians precisely.

Sadly, nothing but exist.

Existing

All this does is clear up for me who desires the status quo more than people's rights. Gervais and Bill Maher aren't the contrarians they think they are when they need to punch down like this.

[doriiansz]

I'm so fucking sick and tired of these old ass "comedians" whose main shtick is punching down on the marginalized groups. These clowns are so afraid of change that they refuse to change. What's worse they thrive on this. Cancel culture? Nothing! Fuck all of them, anybody associating with them and supporting them. Yes, that means Netflix too. They're the ones giving them the platform to spew this bullshit and only encourage them by not cutting ties with them.

That gifset is iconic. Love that he called out Ricky by name.

Pissed off James Acaster is my favourite James Acaster.

[trekkiepetrelli]

absolutely had to add, and that special is a few years old too. he's still pulling the same shit, same jokes against transpeople. what a fucking unoriginal, unimaginative transphobe.

Thank you! I have seen him a bunch of times live, but the last time was in late feb 2020 right before the pandemic and his standup has changed so much since I started following him. It was just all love yourself and be true to who you are and it was really the perfect send off into lockdown.

love Dylan...i read his interview where he basically said cancel culture is bullshit and Graham Linehan needs to live with the consequences of his 'free speech' and i was like oh fucking THANK YOU

[simpmedaddy]

Gervais is scum. And also really lazy. He keeps doubling down because he has literally nothing else to say. I still find it hilarious how people applauded him for his attitude at the golden globes and how he ~wasn’t afraid~ to call out privileged hypocrites, as though he isn’t also an obscenely wealthy and out of touch celebrity himself. Smh.

OT but that gif set of acaster was posted on my timeline yesterday and someone tweeted that she hooked up with him years ago and he had a beautiful penis. That’s actually the second person I’ve heard of who has said this 👀🧐

[gloeden2]

I always said that at the Globes he was the court jester who loved the privileges and being a celeb but who was so self hating that he was mad at other celebs because he didn't feel he was as beautiful and special.

[my_moloko]

I....need to know more about that second part.

[simpmedaddy]

Well I know someone who knows a woman who dated him a long ass time ago and apparently she always said he had a perfect penis. So when I saw this I was like 👀👀

I would like to make an announcement 📣

I have actually slept with James Acaster. (I was a bartender at his hotel)

He is lovely, funny, interesting- and I can confirm he has the nicest penis I have ever the pleasure of looking upon. (No seriously it’s was crafted by the Gods)
