In the future young people will look back on that clip of Gervais like our generation look at Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning.

No they won't. They will look back and wonder how stupid people had to be to not understand the difference between men and women.
Oh and they will be dealing with the mental health issues and trauma fallout of the children whose bodies were sacrificed to this ideology.

"that all people who say they feel they have a gluten intolerance must be given free food, and that all restaurants must be able to supply guaranteed gluten-free food even if they're a branch of Wheaty McRyebread's Gluterrific Bread 'n' Beer Emporium — and yelling that not doing these things means you're literally murdering coeliacs..."

LMAO! Thanks, needed that!

Apparently, TRAs have destroyed a bench in retaliation. A bench! I cower before their staggering display of power and aggression.

I've only done a very shallow dive on twitter, but I can't see anyone having a mad angry cry over the jokes about punching a disabled toddler.

Turns out that "of COURSE she's a woman- can't you see her pronouns?" is literally more violent 🤷‍♀️

I don't get the blanket problem with "punching down". Of course there are times when people have mocked minority groups or less-privileged groups in a way that is unacceptable.

These groups can't be totally untouchable though. To pick a minority group that I'm part of, people with coeliac disease have physical symptoms to deal with, have to spend more of their income on food, are restricted in what events they can fully participate in, and often struggle against a general perception that their dietary needs aren't that big a deal or that they're just looking for attention.

But if a group of people, including a few coeliacs and some people with other gluten intolerance but also allies and some people who feel a bit bloated if they eat an entire baguette, were to go round demanding that everyone must be aware all the time of everything's gluten-containing status, and that all people who say they feel they have a gluten intolerance must be given free food, and that all restaurants must be able to supply guaranteed gluten-free food even if they're a branch of Wheaty McRyebread's Gluterrific Bread 'n' Beer Emporium — and yelling that not doing these things means you're literally murdering coeliacs — then why shouldn't people joke about that and mock it?

YES!! Shall we form such a group then? I am one of those with a complex allergy that includes wheat but is not coeliac. I have never thought of myself as a coeliac ally. Let’s get this group started. Where shall we picket again? That emporium place sounds like it deserves attention.

😁

Oh Yay!!! I have found my tribe at last!

(does it matter if I still sneak a little wheat each day as long as it is like a very little. On allergists advice, of course. But am I pure enough??? I also can’t eat other grains in the same family, but I love them. I don’t consider them ‘far wrong’ though. Will I still be accepted?)

That picture makes me feel a little sick every time I see it. (Not a fan of the concept of boxing in the first place, though.)

Doesn't Ricky identity as a chimp called bobo?

He's a good chimp man

ResisterRex · 25/05/2022 08:36

Oh the Bernard Manning line is from Twitter, I see. Mixed in with "tired, predictable".

This is rather reminiscent of when JKR cut through and suddenly she was "not a good writer at all" etc.

They can't even find a new line of attack. Ironically this (lack of) development is also tired and predictable!!

WouldBeGood · 25/05/2022 08:42

Can I join if I just identify as being a bit bloated after several baguettes?

I see absolutely no reason why not. In fact I will demand you receive gluten-free brownie mix on prescription. Weekly.

(I have been informed that gluten-free brownies, unlike most gluten-free baked products, can actually be pleasurable to eat.)

Helleofabore · 25/05/2022 09:00

Really.... gluten-free brownies.... I will check it out. I was the number 1 purchaser of GF digestive biscuits in my local Sainsbury's store. That apparently is a badge of honour!!

Don't know Icake?

Up to you if you identify as GF. And maybe you need to 'be tasty' to be listened to, don't forget that!

Phobiaphobic · 25/05/2022 09:29

Gave it a thumbs up on Netflix - first time I've ever bothered to review. I figure the more positive reviews it gets, the better.

IcakethereforeIam · 25/05/2022 09:36

Nope, not currantly Gf, but I aspire to plan to be thinking about maybe one day possibly getting to a place where I can be.

As for 'tasty', well Blush. No, definitely not.
