Rosie Jones: Am I A R#tard?

[purpleme12]

Did anyone watch this?
I'm 6 minutes in and I'm actually shocked at some of things she says people have called her online.
'that she should be in a cage '
'that she deserves to die'
It's disgusting

@Jaredy I am with you on that. As soon as we spot her we turn over. She just isn't funny.

Agreed. She’s dreadful as a comedian. Also has no mind for the women who blazed the trail on which she currently travels. No one deserves abuse but I instantly turn off anything she’s on.

Yep, Big fat quiz of the year is a no n0 this year as she is on.

It's disgusting to mock her disability but I reserve the right to say that she is not funny in any way. And the bar for funny shouldn't be lowered due to the disability as that would be patronising.

I have multiple disabilities. I work with disabled people on a daily basis, including well known disability rights advocates. None of them think she's remotely funny. Not finding a disabled comedian funny has nothing to do with their disability. I have disabled friends who are comedians (I know lost voice guy) and some are funny and some are not. Just like non disabled comedians can be funny or unfunny, all depending on your point of view.

The abuse is not about her comedy. There is no reason or excuse to speak to anyone like that.

**Don’t like her? There’s a handy block or hide option on all social media channels.

You just need to look at the replies to her posts to see how prolific it is.

The only time RJ was funny was when she tweeted that she was having a mad angry cry when she saw that JK Rowling was having lunch somewhere

@Sausagenbacon gutted I missed that.
