[Bungleboy]

We really have come full circle as a society when comedians are being targeted by hysterical moral guardians

When in the hell has Rocky Gervais ever been politically correct? I see a bunch of you saying “this is what he gets!” but his whole standup career was based on making fun of fat people for years.

Is apologizing for using the word “Mong” really what gets you labeled as an SJW?

He might be a liberal but labeling him as some sort of SJW is pretty ridiculous. His comedy (standup at least) has always been intentionally offensive

I think it's context, mong might just sound like a general Britishism for people who don't know British slang but it's not just a general insult it specifically refers to someone with downs syndrome, it's like how spaz is a lighthearted insult in the US but seen as a pretty offensive one in the UK.

I watched the special out of spite, the trans stuff is pretty mild.

Me too, the trans-chimpanzee thing made me just wish Karl was there.

I thought that was one of those fake Fedora/Euphoria magazine covers at first.

 

[:thinking:]

All the people I like are apparently literally Hitler, I guess Hitler must have been a pretty cool guy then?

All my friends are Hitler.

Did you expect him to get on stage and make the stupid jokes* we make here like "kill all trannies tbh"?

* "jokes"

Who said we were joking about killing all trannies....
