Joe Lycett should not be presenting GBSB

[Charmtaste]

Joe Lycett is a horrible misogynist. He has no place hosting GBSB. If he is allowed to continue then it proves that society does not care about misogyny.

Well exactly. I can find literally no flaws with this line of thinking.

What's GBSB??

Whats GBSB?

Great British Sewing Bee.

I saw some other tweets of his "joking" about rape earlier.
No idea who he is or even what GBSB is, but yes, he seems like a deeply unpleasant individual that I wouldn't really want to watch on TV.

He just sounds like a twat who's trying v hard to be funny.

Are you being mysogynist in inferring that sewing is something only women do?

The only issue is that a few of the tweets are from ten years ago, which may not be representative of his views now. Has he addressed these tweets publicly again?

The last two were in 2011 - I don’t think that there should be a statute of limitations on what people post but not every tweet can follow us forever.
The rape one could refer to men or women I guess?

Most of these are from 2011. The world has moved on a lot since then. Social media is faster to shut down comments like that these days but it was a perfectly average tweet back then.

He is also regularly on 8 out of 10 cats with the other great misogynist Jimmy Carr.

Oh well, I love his humour. Just don’t watch it if you don’t. He’s pretty negative about masculine men too

God, what a revolting little shit he is

He’s the main reason I don’t watch Sewing Bee any more, though I can’t honestly say I knew about this.

He made a pro trans comment two days ago so now these 10 year old tweets have been dug up in an attempt to get him cancelled.

@BroccoliFloret nope I don’t want him hosting any show. He just happens to host that one.

I don’t agree really. I think he’s just one of those “push the envelope” comedians

What on earth does this mean? He was an unpleasant little bollix ten years ago too, so what?

You've....you've never actually seen his work have you? Check out Joe Lycetts got your back or any of his stand up.

I feel the same kind of disappointment that I did when I read what Trevor Noah had said about aboriginal women.

Eh, I like him. He's funny! What else should a comedian be.

A bit off topic but is it his voice on the Tesco machine now?

@lokomojo I am sure you can be funny without hating women.
