Cannot believe they missed the satire.

Omg

The journalist saw his beard, man bun and bio which says

"I use my white privilege as a raft, to transport minorities from the Cave of Oppression to the Island of Equal Prosperity. Transwoman. She/Her."

...and thought, 'yup, sounds legit'?

I think “journalist” would be overly complimentary. Most articles in most publications are written by young people with their biased opinions. And it’s all across the political spectrum, but I think the right knows what its doing, and the left think the accusation doesn’t apply to them. They’re so blinded to their own fallacies we end up with articles like this published, with no checking whatsoever.

🤣🤣🤣

I hadn’t seen all those tweets from RG they’ve made me very happy! Good man

The article has been amended now and reads "Speaking as a trans woman, the thought that I will no longer be welcome in a fictional school for wizards has destroyed me,” wrote Twitter user Jarvis Dupont, which is considered a troll account, not actually representing a trans woman. Still, Gervais's response dripped with anti-trans sarcasm whether he was responding to a troll account or not."
So batshit. I can't even.

This is so funny! Du pont has archived it too.

It's exactly what they deserve

hahahahahahahaha😂

Love it! I saw the tweet and response and didn't realise it was satire either. You just can't tell these days...

Thank you for cheering me up. Hilarious, and RG - what a star.

Waiting to see if Ricky takes this to the stage at The Golden Globes, l know he has previous on this 😂😂

Can you explain Jarvis to me?
Twitter keeps locking my account so I'm playing catch up.

Serves them right for lazy virtue signalling 'journalism'. Not a good look 😂

Jarvis is a parody account @HandsOffMyRights. Screenshot of his profile which makes it very very clear (unless you're so woke your brain fell out)

Thanks Clymene
And without stretching your patience further, what's happened with The Advocate Mag, Jarvis and Ricky?

Ricky and Jarvis has a tweet exchange, The Advocate originally wrote it up as though Jarvis was a genuine account not satire.

So utterly beautiful.

Reading The Advocate's tantrumy type re-write was hilarious too. But not as much as their brain-cell deficient original protest on behalf of a man who thinks he's a woman complaining he doesn't feel welcome in a wizard's house.

Ooh thanks - will catch up with this now!

This is hilarious!
