Some good news for once, and I'm honestly surprised he was arrested for inciting violence given the British government itself does this routinely.

heartbreaking

You guys are sleeping on the funniest part

where are my police that love brutality in this crucial moment? boohoo

They reserve that for evil protestors and children who are slightly annoying. Doing pogroms is ok though they won’t even turn up

Minor consequences for my actions = immediate cardiac arrest.

Claims to be anti-trans, tries to transition from idiot to corpse anyways.

[-] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 72 points 1 month ago

Man how transphobic do you have to be that even TERF island is like "Yo calm down"

[-] GamersOfTheWorld@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago

You have to write a 50 paragraph NSFL rant that uses slurs for trans people not used since the 1400's. Only then will somebody maybe think of how wrong it is, but only occasionally.

lol. lmao.
i hope he remembers the time before he terf posted, before his wife left him, before he went from a well-liked comedy writer to the complete mess he is now
and i hope it hurts

[-] dougfir@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago

he has completely destroyed his own life lol

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago

he also apparently assaulted a random trans woman and is now standing trial for it. truly crashing out

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago

he has completely destroyed his own life lol

more points for the hypothesis that transphobia is the actual mental illness. victim-of-communism

[-] dougfir@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

i wonder how much time in any given day he spends thinking about trans people. i wonder how long he could go in a regular conversation without being transphobic

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 month ago

he is a perfect example of Riley's law, "once you post transphobia, you never post normally again"

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Oh it's all the time. That's the thing with these people, if you aren't constantly transvestigating every person you see or constantly thinking about the most recent trans tech that you can deploy in a disparaging manner then the T-slurs will win!

It would be sad but they're doing it to themselves by being the lowest scum of the earth so fuck em. bridget-pride-stay-mad

The picture of Graham Linehan buying all the things you need to make a Carbonara, including the pan and cheese grater, may be the most divorced anyone has ever been.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

Lmao get fuuuccckkkkeddddd

Im sure nothing of consequence will ultimately happen to him, but as others said, even TERF Island was like "chill, come on."

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

Bit more context here including one of the tweets in question

[-] prole@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

Is this some sort of optical illusion or does his head seem very large? I don't even mean this in an insulting way, I'm genuinely curious

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

he has an unheard of condition where the functions of his anus and mouth are reversed, thus making his head large as it stores the entirety of his intestines

[-] prole@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Yeah, this has to be it

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Ah yeah I love old video game cheats

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

The George Lopez effect

The posts in question (via his substack):

I can't find any other tweets that might be illegal, but I was unwilling to scroll past the 31st of August because he tweets a lot. If he's telling the truth about the tweets in violation, I would be highly surprised if the first and last are considered inciting violence, on account of them not really inciting violence.

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

this can't really be all it was, surely? to get arrested on terf island for being a terf, that's it?

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I can't see the actual tweets? Booo, The Guardian

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

It is a bit hypocritical I guess, but if the state is going to be abusing its power it's nice that for once it's doing so against pieces of shit.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Dude was calling for violence, I don't think it's an abuse of power to start with.

[-] revolut1917@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

this is the sort of thing the state should be doing in general, and more vigorously
