Not sure if I'm allowed to report this? Sorry if someone already has.

I think he gets it, but CBA with the flak. He's reverse ferreted before.

HandsOffMyRights · 11/07/2020 16:15

Ricky gets it.

teawamutu · 11/07/2020 16:17

His partner, Jane Fallon, seems v switched on and follows quite a few GC accounts on Twitter.

NearlyGranny · 11/07/2020 16:41

Yeah, he gets it. Too much screaming, not enough listening. Not enough balanced, nuanced discussion to listen TO from the offended screamers.

People telling JKR she needs to "listen" to trans people when what routinely gets served up in response to measured, thoughtful, nuanced comment is vile sexual demands, death threats and pornographic images. Listen to what? Someone who sends a picture of a barbed-wire -wrapped baseball bat and days she should be raped with it? Really? That person had already riled themselves out of the 'worthy of being listened to' category.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 11/07/2020 16:50

Of course he gets it and doesn't need to worry about money or death threats. Still skirts around it though. Would woke netflix cancel the man who consistently makes them millions. Doubt it.

Etinox · 11/07/2020 16:53

The original tweet is from a parody account.
FYI its not 'this never happens' evidence. It's hard to tell- as posters on his thread say, the lines are blurred and satire is hard to write nowadays.

DandyMandy · 11/07/2020 16:55

That tweet he retweeted is scary as hell. That man (not Ricky, obviously) is a rapist in the making. Hopefully Ricky fans see that and are disgusted by it.

TorkTorkBam · 11/07/2020 16:58

No no dandy the account is a parody like Titania. It is funny. Worth a browse.

BumBurnerBum · 11/07/2020 16:59

I'm pretty sure that's a parody account actually highlighting the insanity of some of this stuff. Similar vein as Titania Mcgraff

It’s a parody account DandyMandy. Titania’s flatmate.

YangShanPo · 11/07/2020 17:03

Who wants that guy on their team? He's such a nasty bit of work.

Frozenveggista · 11/07/2020 17:07

I like him. He has talked about this in stand up many times now, and he put a piece in the last episode of afterlife at the end- remember the girl who’s dad had taken to dressing as a small girl and the monologue after they left the house? He is on it. I love him on twitter and his parody account. He also had his bobogervais account. He has literally be talking about it for years. He gets barely any grief for it. But then that’s coz he’s a man. A very rich man.

UncleShady · 11/07/2020 17:11

Richard Osman may or may not be talking about it. Same for David Baddiel and indeed Caitlin Moran in her column today.

That tweet is clearly about masks.

Kit19 · 11/07/2020 17:38

Yeah RO RT something earlier which was basically ‘if you’re writing in national newspapers you haven’t been cancelled’

I dont think he’s GC

AbsintheFriends · 11/07/2020 17:40

Richard Osman has previously intoned the TWAW mantra. Gutted, I was. He comes across as clever and having integrity. (One of which must be an illusion.)

Kit19 · 11/07/2020 17:43

I suspect like a lot of woke men he won’t have given it much thought beyond ‘be kind’

DandyMandy · 11/07/2020 17:44

Didn't realise it was a parody lol thanks for letting me know. I'm not on Twitter and honestly that tweet sounded exactly like what TRAs are constantly saying but obviously that was the point of the tweet/account in general.

PuppyLove2000 · 11/07/2020 17:45

Is Caitlin Moran pro JKR? I thought she was not very open about it?

BumBurnerBum · 11/07/2020 18:00

Dandy it's very hard to tell parody from reality these days, I quite agree.

SkaraBrae · 11/07/2020 18:03

I've noticed he's liked a few Jarvis Dupont tweets recently.
