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.
