I thought you were overrated, not funny, and a bit insensitive. Now I see you're nothing but a vicious, mean-spirited asshole who doesn't think twice about hurting and dehumanizing other people to make you feel better. Once again, we did nothing to you or Chappelle or any of the other bigots. And yet, gee, look at me! I'm funny! I'm punching down on the T's!

You're the kind of fucking tough guy that would steal a Slurpee from a three year old because "I'm thirsty." You're about as tough as a stick of butter sitting out in the summer sun for 10 hours. You're about as witty as a hubcap. You're about as funny as bubonic plague, wanker.

I'm not your punching bag, Dicky. This community is not your punching bag. You're nothing but a heartless, cruel thug with a microphone. And I've had enough of people like you for 12 lifetimes.

You wanna be funny? Be funny. If you can't tell the difference between funny and cruel, you're about as smart as Herschel Walker. What the hell was quoted by EarlG in post #14 isn't funny, unless your idea of "comedy" is Tucker Carlson or Empty Greene. That's just hate speech.

I'm sick of this. And I know your response to your well-earned backlash will be "STOP! YOU'RE CANCELING ME! WAAAH!" Well, call the Wambulance, Dicky. I don't care. I care as much as you care about people like me.

Go away, Gervais. Take Chappelle and Maher with you. Hell, while you're at it, take Ted Sarandos with you. Because fuck Sarandos and Netfux. Sarandos has made his views absolutely clear with continuing to air this kind of shit. Hell will freeze over before I ever give Netflix a cent after the last 8 months.

"Real men" punch up and take on the system. Wankers like Gervais punch down and join the system by trying to crush vulnerable, innocent people who have done nothing to them.

We do not exist to be abused like this.

It's so edgy to punch down on trans people. Voltaire2 May 2022 #1
