I’m already seeing male reactors get very verbally defensive about that scene in She-Hulk where Jennifer describes how, simply as a woman, she has more experience in suppressing rage than Banner because speaking out will get you labelled “hysterical”, “emotional”, “difficult”, “too much of a feminist”, the list goes on. And if you snap back at the wrong cat-caller, you can get murdered. So now mcu bros are rushing at the opportunity to cry out “this is just another ‘marvel throwing in another woke scene for woke’s sake’. But like...it isn’t untrue. Comic nerds are all for female superhero protagonists until she, god forbids, talks about the dynamics of what it’s like to live within the confines of patriarchy.

MCU fans are always clamoring for the social commentary to be more “subtle” and not so “in-your-face”, just so they can mindlessly enjoy a punchy fighty show and not have to confront any real-world intersections with racism, misogyny, xenophobia, transphobia, all the -isms and -phobias you can imagine. Additionally, even when the social criticisms are embedded into the story, the conflicts are routinely either overlooked or watered-down and discussed at the individual-level as if these are just isolated incidents and not reflective of larger phenomena. Dudebros forget that superhero comic media, from the very beginning, has always been political. A lot of the mainstream characters we know and love today were created in response to the anti-war and peace movements during the seventies in the United States (this is also not to say that there isn’t some definite war propaganda and Red Scare-inspired comics out there either).

Comics are teaching grounds for morality, human good, and bad, power, greed, corruption. Comics have been about the social commentary from the get-go. The idea that the government (and by extent society at large) is villainizing and surveilling a specific minority group who carry varying physical and genetic traits contrasting to that of the “ideal national subject” because of a perceived inherent aggression or difference based on their physical attributes *ahem ahem mutants*...where do you think they got that from?

I literally sat through a dude being like “IN MY EXPERIENCE AS A MAN, THAT IS NEVER THE CASE! IF A WOMAN GETS UPSET AND MAKES A SCENE IN PUBLIC, THE MAN ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE THE BAD GUY BECAUSE IT IS ASSUMED HE DID SOMETHING WRONG. MEN ARE THE ONES WHO CAN NEVER BE ANGRY.” (Obviously for Black men, my argument is different because when Black men express rage, they are viewed as a threat or turned into spectacle, but the person who made this rant was not a Black man, nor was he factoring race into his argument). As if masculinity and gratuitous violence have not become nearly synonymous. When male celebrities are accused of beating their partners, fans run to their defense to say “well she shouldn’t have provoked him.” When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, the internet rooted for a televised boxing match between the actors/comedians. We all watched the Trump and Hillary debates right, where his belligerent behavior was coddled while she had to maintain composure?

We’ve collectively grown up watching male newscasters, talk show hosts, and reporters make jokes about angry women in sports, in the media or in news reports being on their periods, as a way to minimize the stressful and abusive circumstances, or people, women are subjected to. The world expects women to react to harassment with class and elegance; women’s anger, Black women especially, is never not mitigated. For male fans to come away from that scene wanting to eye roll is why the commentary is so “in-your-face” because a lot of y’all still don’t get it! Men are still finding ways to make women’s issues about them and the “loss” of their rights. In a world where Brock Turners are able to walk free, are you really trying to argue against this scene? Really? What else do you expect out of a series whose main character is AN ATTORNEY? Y’all are just not going to enjoy this series then, as per usual.

#if you're wondering who the youtuber in question is it is jaby koay from the channel #getjaby #he also has another channel but im not trying to promote his shit #he does reactions to loads of things but i literally want to beat his ass everytime he opens his mouth to make some social hot take bc #you might as well be talking to fucking ricky gervais #he gives major centrist vibes nd he's so fucking condescending nd will jump at any opportunity to mansplain things to his female co-reactor #he's like i'm woke but only to a certain point #anyways fuck dudebros #also are we gonna act like this she hulk scene is more shoe-horned in than that scene in endgame? let's be real #just say you hate hearing about any issues that affects anyone ever who isn't a white man #she hulk #she-hulk #marvel #mcu #mcu rant #tatiana maslany #jennifer walters #hulk #bruce banner #reactors

I think it's time to call Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais for what they really are: anti-trans activists.

Boundaries are important. To have them with people is a good thing but what the hell do you do when someone blatantly disrespects those boundaries?

I am struggling right now with my family. Slowly starting to see my mum in such a different light it hurts. Ever since I arrived here, I have not had a single day where I have not cried. Be it being screamed at for my food preferences, constantly saying I am 'in a mood' when I'm not, not allowing me my own space away from the dogs and noise during the day, suggesting me having stuff on the desk, my stuff, for painting & gaming is 'taking over,' and 'a fucking mess', gas lighting me daily, constantly undermining my pain, disabilities and mental health issues...

The list goes on and I just...

She's changed. It's like I don't matter anymore. Somedays its fine. She's fine. But other days its just all of this and I don't understand why, after ALL these years, why I am still the emotional punching bag.

#my ramblings #I'm tired you guys #I am not even out to them...because I don't feel safe #I have not even told them my partner is trans #They watch Ricky Gervais & that Australian terf nob #But if I open my mouth or express my disgust in anyway #I'm being childish. Or shouted at. #Just...fuck off.

wow gee this lecture on the history of racism and antisemitism I’m currently in sure is putting a LOT of emphasis specifically on Muslim shows of antisemitism, I wonder why that could possibly be

#good fucking lord get me out of this class please #like you could not make the lecturer’s islamophobic bias more obvious if you tried #and yeah this is the same class as the ‘gommunism bad’ lecture and ricky gervais rapping video

(138/?) What's there in desperation?

So I watched that thing with Ricky Gervais that Chris Murphy mentioned on his recent article for Vanity Fair about how he was being transphobic and, like, why are people even offended by this has-been? Like I sorta understand people giving JK Rowling or Dave Chappelle guff for their shitty views on diverse topics concerning the LGBT community, but Ricky fucking Gervais? ---- I understand that The Office was a watershed moment for a lot of people wrt comedy and yeah, no doubt Gervais had a hand in that. But the more I watch the stuff where he doesn't have as strong a writing partner(like Stephen Merchant) as support, the more I think that maybe he needs to, because on his own he comes off as that one relative you invite to a family gathering only to almost immediately regret doing so. ---- Some of the stuff he talks about is uncomfortable, for sure (that's basically a Gervais/Merchant trademark at this point), but removed almost 2 decades from when he was at the cutting edge, it doesn't even feel relevant, offensive, edgy or even all that funny: It feels like those points in time Henry Rollins describes when he self-deprecatingly mentions instances of "losing the plot". ---- And sure, I'm thinking it might be fun to watch in that "trainwreck you can't look away from"-sort-of-way but it just didn't pan out. Throughout most of SuperNature, I often found myself wondering 'Does Patton Oswalt/Taylor Tomlinson have a stand-up special coming soon'... ---- ...so if you take away anything from this wall-o-text, make it this: I watched this toothless, over-the-hill stand-up special so you don't have to, because aside from some absolutely bottom-of-the-barrell stabs at relevancy concerning trans people and COVID, most of the special found a guy who's gone from living legend to a relic. ---- And while I agree that, as a comedian, you should be able to make jokes about anything/anybody, make a damn effort to make them land. For the amount of moolah that you're getting, it seems almost more offensive that you dole out material this lazy. See ya' tomorrow!

#diary #daily life of an old shithead #meshuggah reference #'destroy erase improve' is legitimately one of the few metal albums I can consider timeless. how is this so good 27 years later? #It legit doesn't fucking sound like it came out in 1995 #while I am not saying that there's something wrong with members of the LGBTQIA community being offended wrt Gervais material #the jokes were so fucking lazy and low effort that it honestly seems kind of pointless to give Gervais the attention in the first place #I'm honestly pissed that I even gave the special a try #ricky gervais #please get in touch with stephen merchant ricky #you probably need it

I won’t get into any political argument about it, but I just watched Ricky’s last special on Netflix (Armageddon) and I obviously had to look it up:

“52 potentially trigger events”

Jesus Christ, is this even serious? It’s a film about the Shoah, one of the worst tragedies of human history and the end of western culture/civilisation as we knew it, and I really hope that there’s no one out there who wouldn’t watch it because of this stuff

Mention of honour because it’s funny:

#and u know what? #all that bit made me feel better #and u know why? #because i’m going to the fucking auschwitz-birkenau ex concentration camp #and i wrote a master thesis on the fucking thing #and i’m afraid i’ll have a panic attack or smth similar #so i was hoping ricky’s going to make a joke abt it #ricky gervais #armageddon #schindler's list #steven spielberg #shoah #holocaust #jews #nazism #nazist #jewish history #auschwitz #history #netflix #mailmiocuoredipietratremaancora

MFK: the old XFM Radiocast/Ricky Gervais Show/Idiot Abroad

Fornicate with Stephen Merchant obviously. He's married and I'm more obsessed with Rhea Seehorn these days, but I can still pencil you in, boo bear. I know you want intelligent conversation. We could make such beautiful music together!

Kill Ricky Gervais. Look man, it's not even particularly personal. I'm not saying some of your politically incorrect jokes aren't funny. I'm just saying life is one big shit sandwich... and middle aged white dudes who bomb on Netflix with attack helicopter jokes (and then complain about it on twitter) jump to the front of the line when it comes to eating it.

Marry Karl Pilkington. Never consummate. Divorce ASAP. Can we talk about how broken and redundant MFK really is as a game? What do you do with someone you have NO strong feelings towards?

#mfk #marry fuck kill #ricky gervais #stephen merchant #would you rather

Kathy Griffin is more edgy than any super special male comedian who whines about cancel culture and not being able to make ‘real’ jokes anymore.

ps. Ricky Gervais is a coward.
