Graham Linehan got divorced because of his incredibly pervasive transphobia.

Fuck him.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 15 points 1 week ago

To be clear and so people don't get the wrong idea, Graham Linehan is the creator of The IT Crowd, he's not in this meme.

Thanks... That was extremely needed context. I would have gone around thinking that dude was an asshole if I saw him again.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 1 week ago

I already thought this due to that missing context. I'm glad to be wrong.

You need to be more careful with context.

That's Richard Ayoade in the picture, and he's a fuckin' national treasure.

That explains the episode where Douglas beats up his gf bc he realizes she transitioned.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It was filled with transphobia, yes, and that's unacceptable. As a matter of trivia, April struck first, after realizing Douglas was reckless with her affections and hadn't been listening to her, even when she had something she felt was important to share with him. Honestly, it was satisfying watching her wipe the floor with him for a while before he got the upper hand.

Doesn't retroactively make the show any less funny, and this post is not any sort of endorsement of him; if it was, that would at least serve as a reason to comment the way you did, as a response.

This just comes off as empty virtue signaling.

"they took my family!" says man whose obsession drove everyone away from him

Oof. When I searched for him, the tagline was "Irish writer and anti-transgender activist (born 1968)" 🤮
