Graham Linehan makes women getting raped all about him.

[GiddyGiddyGiddy]

Can never keep up with the consensus on Linehan on here, but perhaps we should bear things like this in mind before parading him as any sort of empathetic thinker...

Well yeah he's always seemingly telling us how offended we should be. I wonder which episode he's talking about though?

That has to be one of the worst mis-matches between a thread title and a post I've ever seen!
Not being a big fan of GL [I admire his courage and resolve, and his funny writing, but .. not a huge fan otherwise ] I was afraid he'd said something really misogynistic and sexist about rape, which would have been a big deal.

It's a few words about Ch4's lack of consistency.

Not exactly 'hold the front page', is it?🙄

Is he "making it all about him"?

He's pointing out the hypocrisy of Channel 4. They pulled an episode of a popular comedy for wrongthink, but allowed MAFS to run for years, despite the obvious red flags. That's worth reminding the world of, while the network is trying to do damage control.

Being a rape victim myself, I find his comparison pretty insulting!

Another attempt to get Glinner. 🤪
5 armed coppers weren't enough.😂
Character assignation the only thing left now is it. 🤨

He makes everything about him.

I’m really not a fan of his, but isn’t the point he's making that rape is much worse.

He’s saying “they’ll pull an episode due to complaints of transphobia, but not for rape allegations”.

The IT Crowd was his show, though. Cancelling an episode for perceived transphobia is something Channel 4 actually did to him.

I think it's a valid observation to make. Channel 4 don't care about harm reduction as much as they claim to. They're hypocrites. He's not wrong, and it's worth highlighting.

As @WhatAMarvelousTune said, he's not saying what happened to him was worse than what happened to these women. I don't see how anyone is getting that from the tweet.

But they haved pulled all the episodes of MAFS.

whatever - the fact that ppl turn up here on an weekly basis with another "aha gotcha" about glinner is beyond tedious

he's responsible for his own behaviour, no one here is responsible for it

and men are still not women and need to fuck off out of women's spaces

They have pulled the shows though. So not sure what his point is. Unless it's another 'poor me' post.

He does seem to be rather obsessed with it all… Great that he speaks up, but it’s his “thing” now. Won’t do his career any favours!

Because it depends on them making
ludicrous leaps from what he actually says

thete is literally nothing that glinner could say that wouldn't result in some TRA or aunt Lydia turning up to whang on about it like we're actually meant to give a fuck

Bit misleading heading.

People do Gotchas about all sorts of people on this board. Is Glinner exempt from criticism because he's one of you?

It's a feature not a bug with any post about glinner

lol "one of us"? What you mean ppl who recognise biological reality and that men are not women no matter how much skirt go spin?

yeah you've caught us out

You do seem to give a fuck after all.

He’s a twat.

Yeah, men still aren't women

For those not on twitter.
This is hardly the smoking gun that the thread title appeared to promise…

It is very difficult to explain the stupidity of this thread title without using words that the person making it would understand so I'll not bother.

They have pulled them now, however, one of the women spoke to Channel 4 before the series she was in was aired and they went ahead and aired it anyway despite the severity of the complaint she made.

Good grief. Every time I think TRAs can’t make themselves look worse, they rock up here defending C4 airing MAFS even after the rape allegations were raised purely to get in a pop at Glinner.

Couldn’t make their priorities clearer, really.

And here are you making it all about your dislike of Glinner. You also had the option to stick to discussion of the allegations and only the allegations.
