Ricky Gervais sharing Mr Menno on FB

[Sunflower987]

Sorry if there is already a thread about this...
I am so surprised to see Ricky Gervais has shared a video of Mr Menno where he speaks about the issues with gender ideology on Facebook.

The comment section is alive with so many people speaking out, I have never seen this on Facebook before, I find many people are too scared to say what they think and its usually full of people shouting others down and calling them bigots if few dare to speak.
(There are few but they are being successfully challenged.)

People seem to be feeling braver..

I hadn't seen that Mr Menno video before. It is really good.

Exactly this. The misogyny is obvious.

No he's not making a black power salute. If he was doing a black power salute, he'd be standing still and quiet, head bowed with his fist in the air. That picture is a still from a video of him leaping around, waiving a TRA banner and finally shouting "Penises", throwing his arm up in the air in emphasis of that word - like anyone at a concert, sports game or protest would do whilst singing, chanting or shouting support.

Don't be ridiculous. I made the exact salute every time I went to a rave.

Honestly. I do question the rationality of people who genuinely think they can persuade others to believe that Mr Menno went to a womens rights rally in black face.

At least pick something that might have even the smidgen of a whiff of an iota of plausibility.

🤣

And now Ricky Gervais is retweeting his videos.

Excellent.

Do people think that when they say that stuff that isn’t racist is racist it helps in any way?

see, I’d have said it just makes people more likely to downplay or ignore actual racism

but maybe these people don’t give a shit

wow have just discovered mr mennos youtube channel, thanks, it's worth it just for this; hope its ok to share

That is amazing!

Confused as to why you think blackface would involve a nappy? He's quite clearly taking the piss out of the Black Pampers - not the Black Panthers. It honestly has nothing to do with race. Blackface involves dressing up like a black person - he is wearing a black leotard to imitate the protestors who wore black. Black skin and black clothing aren't the same thing.

Interestingly I have noticed a number of posts from Stonewall UK in my FB feed recently. The posts are about the importance of trans rights, but a large number of comments are pushing back (usually in civil tones) querying what rights trans people are lacking and pointing out other problems with Stonewall's stance. It's good to see things moving away from brainless #nodebate.

Nish Kumar is a through and through arsehole.

Mr Mennio is great. No matter how many times people try to pay him as something he isn't, he truly gets it. Men can not become women and he understands the ideology for what it is. Than you Mr Menno.

Ignore the correct of Menno to Mennio.

FFS. Pay = paint.

You're so close to getting it.

@Rhinestein would you enlighten me as to what I'm meant to get - are you implying wearing black clothes means you're imitating black people?

Your sheer audiacious reach here is HILARIOUS.

No-one 'see's' him, you alone are seeing something that isn't there. I'm concerned for you if you think this is racism.

Anyone who thinks a man wearing a black body suit and a nappy is blackface really needs to examine their own prejudices.

Wow, that video covers a lot. And to be shared by Ricky Gervais gives it a huge reach.

I agree, the video is incredibly persuasive

it's going to convince a lot of people with the reach Ricky Gervais is giving it

That's great for Menno! That was a good video for Ricky to share. Nish looked like he was frothing at the mouth in those clips.

Thanks for posting the video. How the flippers-flip haven’t I come across Mr Menno before? Am definitely going to be searching out more of his stuff.

I also see nothing racist at all about his pisstake of the idiots in black/balaclavas who try to disrupt women meeting. That really is a reach too far and is, IMO, bloody offensive with regards to trying to fight actual racism.

Julie Bindel will find any excuse to have a pop at anything or anyone involved in a KJK event, as will a lot of GC feminists who don't like her.
