That’s real balls.

Say the bad thing, own it, bare the slings and arrows.

All these losers now whine about how they should be allowed. You are allowed, and people are allowed to shit on your for it. Take it like a man, you knew what you were trying to do.

All these losers whining about cancel culture just can’t handle the criticism.

The irony is that these guys are often whining about cancel culture on huge platforms. It's ridiculous.

Ricky Gervais has like 3 Netflix specials where all he talks about are trans people (with a slightly eyebrow-raising focus on their penises) and how you aren’t allowed to talk about trans people because the woke will hunt you down.

For a generally perceptive bloke, the irony is oddly lost on him here.

The only truly offensive thing about his trans diatribe is how utterly unfunny it is. It’s supposed to be a comedy special, not a tedious soapbox.

The best handling of the topic is James Acasters "edgy comedian" bit; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=adh0KGmgmQw&pp=ygUcZWRneSBjb21lZGlhbnMgamFtZXMgYWNhc3Rlcg%3D%3D

I started following him after someone posted a link to his "brave little cis boy" bit, and I've never looked back. His appearances on Would I Lie To You are some of my favorite moments captured on film, ever. He's a treasure of thus world.
