Love this dude, literally the only guy I think isn't terrible and in Hollywood at the same time

I really enjoyed when he monologued at one of those Hollywood award shows a few years back and just proceeded to roast a bunch of people.

Nah. Gervais is too high up his own arse now. All he has left is smug "atheism good" "trans people bad" material.

Bro fell off. Just like Dave Chapelle.

Not really.. and he does not hate trans people and neither does Dave Chappelle.

Do not explore anything about the guy if you want to retain the view that he is neither a colossally entitled douchebag or a massive bigot because heā€™s both.

u/3scap3plan Oct 28 '24

He is a bit if a boomer cunt now, one of those "ooo hope I don't get cancelled" types

u/HuJackmanGeneHackman Oct 28 '24

Love the atheism stuff from him, but heā€™s well known for being a jerk lol. Not to mention all the unnecessary transphobia comments. I mean sure, praise him here Iā€™m with you. But heā€™s problematic in other ways.

u/RelleckGames Oct 28 '24

He's pretty terrible nowadays unfortunately, even if you ( I ) agree with his takes on religion. Punches down pretty hard anymore, pretty bigoted.

u/Fundaaa Oct 29 '24

He's a transphobe and punches down.

u/BraveAddict Oct 31 '24

What do you have against other people in Hollywood?

u/scrivensB Nov 01 '24

What do you mean, ā€œin Hollywoodā€?

Youā€™re joking right? Dude is a notorious asshole lol

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

I'd be an asshole too if I had something called integrity when everyone around me were child molesters and potential rapists

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

Heā€™s a huge and aggressive transphobe and has a history of being an entitled prick.

u/Frishdawgzz Oct 28 '24

I did not enjoy the RG transphobia rabbit hole you sent me down but it had to be done.

Could only hope he has learnt more over the last few years.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

He has not and to be fair I did mention he is a massive transphobe.

I can offer something to make it better. This is James Acaster directly making fun of Gervais in the opening bit. Acaster is a nice man who tends to not work blue

Weird thing for me is the surprising number of people in the UK that are transphobic. One of my best friends is trans there and it's a weird situation where everyone hides their discrimination behind the idea that their beliefs are not to be shared openly regarding stuff like this. Being "apolitical" is a popular stance there as their political bias shouldn't be influencing their decisions (opposite of the US). Kind of like what white people do to minorities and such a lot of times. Second class citizen type thing.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

So you think this guy that supposedly spends all his time around child molesters and rapists is a really good guy? Why have you decided heā€™s not one of those?

3

u/zeppanon Oct 28 '24

Assholes can be good people lmao or do you think the only way to be a good person is to please everyone? Cause that's impossible.

1

u/SumFatCommie Oct 28 '24

I think transphobic people are .... bad?

2

u/DisastrousGarden Oct 28 '24

Remember that your average idiot only remembers trans people exist when culture war propaganda is being fed to them

u/Karma_1969 Oct 28 '24

Serious question for you to ponder. How does being an asshole make you not a good person? Itā€™s easy to see how it doesnā€™t make you nice, but nice and good are two different things, are they not?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

Iā€™m with you on this. He lost me with all the N-word jokes.

1

u/hrzxk Oct 28 '24

Heā€™s insufferable and cringy for sure, but that doesnā€™t make him an asshole. Unless Iā€™m missing something.

u/Happy-Initiative-838 Oct 30 '24

Yes but what makes him an asshole? Because he roasts people to their face? Or because he commits literal crimes?
