He went and cried on the internet about them attacking his free speech when Channel 4 removed the episode from their streaming service, lol. In good news, the main subject of this article, Matt Berry who played the boss in the show denounced the episode and the writers transphobic beliefs. --- "If you wanna grow your business you need to exploit more." ~Austin_Era_II "Out of those two?

Xavier_On_High 10/27/21 6:23:50 PM #6:	In the audio commentary for Black Books, another Graham Linehan show, Dylan Moran goes on a rant about how Linehan is a homophobe. 20 years later, Linehan is self-destructing his entire legacy.

Relient_K 10/27/21 6:53:15 PM #13:	mattymad posted... Matt Berry's character (Renholm? I forget the spelling) finds his soul mate and it depicts them going on very manly dates, enjoying sports, stuff like that. To him the relationship is perfect. They're laying in bed at one part and she says she has a confession and that she used to be a man. He says whatever, I don't care and she's overjoyed at how well he took it. Fast forward after the relationship has bloomed and Matt Berry's character says, "And to think you would worry I would care you from Iran", to which she corrects him and he gets visibly sick and breaks up with her. She hits him so he hits her back. I think he then throws her through a wall and it knocks over "the internet" (yeah it's the same episode where Jen gets employee of the month and Roy/Moss trick her) Oh. I do remember that. Thought it was mildly funny but yeah maybe in bad taste. A lot of comedy is in bad taste. His character is supposed to be trash and the joke was kind of that you thought maybe he had grown as a person more than a hit on Trans people specifically. Thats how I saw it anyway. --- We all ate the biscuits, Fighter. We can all see through time. [ER] <cite>Relient_K posted [p:959450237] in 'IT Crowd'...

JuanCarlos1 10/29/21 4:41:57 PM #19:	Yeah, just rewatched the episode in case it gets taken down. In hindsight the main problem (im not trans) I saw was she feeling bad for saying she used to be a man...but the rest is comedy. The characters is a sexist piece of shit so is acting accordingly and the violence is over the top for giggles. Its also from 2009?

Criminalt 10/29/21 5:02:47 PM #20:	More accurate to say it had an episode with a transphobic character (and maybe a transphobic writer), but you can't watch it and not find the transphobe himself to be the butt of the joke and the villain of the piece. Reynholm's a character you're meant to be hilariously appalled by. --- No tricks <cite>Criminalt posted [p:959511001] in 'IT Crowd'...
