Gervais just seems like one of those smarmy guys who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and anyone who disagrees with him is a moron.

Like I'm not religious either but the dude writes entire movies about how he's an enlightened atheist and that religious people are idiots.

I want my fucking childhood back. Younger me was a fucking piece of garbage who read her books and enjoyed them, and now I can't fucking think back to that at all anymore without wanting to rip my fucking hair out because she had to go be a fucking pariah asshole who's hated by EVERYBODY.

FUCK YOU, YOU BITCH
Too late, you contributed to giving her a platform. The irony? The Christian Right was right all along! Harry Potter IS evil!!! They tried to tell you.

If you watch closely, you'll see this attitude more or less permeates popular discourse. Somehow it passes for argument these days. CE does it all the time. It's common on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and so on.

Actually he made fun of women drivers, and in doing so acknowledged she is a woman.

Which is sexist but the opposite of transphobic.

Imagine being the kind of person who is personally offended by someone else liking a tweet.

This is how you know your life is miserable and that you're an astronomically bad, extremely petty person.

I'm not part of the trans community but if someone likes a tweet especially a famous person, its an endorsement of their views and when trans people are being invalidated and oppressed by governments its a bad look.

Sure its not. If anyone is endorsing though tpolicing its the right. They're subtle trying to suppress ideas that clash with their views on the American nuclear family. The left is only trying to silence the more extreme endorsers of this harmful rhetoric. And thought policing is such a stupid concept the same as cancel culture. Its a clutch for many people on the right or extreme left that have no fucking clue what they're talking about
