In response Graham Lineham will be running a livestream to raise money to take money away from trans kids. He'll be streaming himself eating shit for roughly 50 hours to own the trans.
Trump and Ben Shapiro expected to show up as guests.
Allegedly, After that IT crowd episode aired, some people called him trans-phobic on twitter. Graham Linehan is not very good at taking criticism, and refused to listen to them and then a bunch of TERFs showed up to defend him for the episode. Apparently that is how he became a TERF.
Rewatched the episode and agree with pretty much every point you make. I wouldn't consider the episode transphobic beyond a character being transphobic, whom we are meant to treat as an idiot for laughs.
In regards to the episode, I think another issue with the portrayal of the trans character is that the only reason she gets on well with Douglas is because she's essentially a big manly slob just like him.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have a huge problem with the episode at the time, it was definitely ~problematic~ but the whole show is completely ridiculous and full of stereotypes and piss-taking anyway, it seemed like harmless dumb comedy; and the trans stuff only really stood out due to being a central part of the episode.
Although, with the added context of Lineham's views it makes the whole thing feel awkward as fuck.
Looking back at the OP and that 45k number I find it almost impossible to believe that the mad lad pulled through and managed to raise nearly 350k over the course of a couple of days.
I don't remember it, there's only a handful of notable jokes that many would remember, alongside Moss and Roy having quite great acting
I think you fundamentally misunderstand where Linehan is coming from. He isn't right-wing.
That's a bad point when TERF organizations have grouped with religious organizations so they can push trans rights back.
I'm sure he isn't, but he'll find a lot of friends among the far right in his crusade against trans people
I'M NOT OWNED YOU'RE OWNED STOP GETTING TRIGGERED
foaming at the mouth
Hah I say terrible things and people tell me to stop lmao gottem
'im not responsible for being a fucking fool, ur responsible for making my feelings hurt so bad i cant help but be one. im not like this, im just punished into it.'
Gross.
Not the trans stuff, DK64
And judging by his non-trans twitter posts, they're friends he won't accept.
I've met Lineham and I have never met a more dishonest, proud cunt. Glad he got fucked over for a good cause.
to the people here upset by this I'm sorry this had to happen to you
I've never seen someone get so corncobbed, the best part is Glinner thinks he's fighting MRAs
Sorry to be out of the loop here, but how is Graham Linehan connected to this stream/charity thing?
article in the op has all the info you need my dude
i threw ten dollars at the stream, it's for a good cause
Such an amazing way to start off 2019! Thank goodness for this stream and Hbomberguy (and to those who donated, those sweeties)!
Probably the best thing Hbomberguy's ever done.
Graham is so desperate, he's trying to claim the stream was run by MRAs, despite featuring the entire internet feminist crowd and being run by a guy whose channel is literally dedicated to making fun of MRAs.
I still can't really comprehend how did this escalate this much
it started as some DK64 stream for charity and suddenly everyone begins showing up
is this the power of the DK rap?
listening to all the different people on the stream was great, it's made me feel better about myself in a way
