In a new Netflix special, Ricky Gervais made very graphic transphobic remarks and sparked controversy on social networks
It seems that the netflix promotions continue to generate controversy. Few months ago, Closest: Dave Chappelle angered the LGBTIQ community so much that the giant's trans staff Streaming went on strike over the content of transphobic comments. And now the comedian Ricky Gervais became the center of controversy for the same.
Gervais created Ricky Gervais: SuperNature for Netflix on Tuesday and from the first minutes, the comedian called trans people a "new women" then pretended to have a mock conversation where the comedian also made fun of the use of pronouns, the use of public restrooms and the term “TERF”an acronym that stands for “transexclusive radical feminist”which has been used pejoratively to refer to feminist groups who exclude trans women from their circles
“I like new women. The new ones we've seen lately. Those with beards and penises. They are as good as gold, I love them. “Oh, they want to use our toilets. 'Why shouldn't they use their toilets?' 'For ladies!' They are Women , look at their pronouns! And this person who is not a lady? “Well, his penis. "His penis, fucking fanatic!" “And if he rapes me? " 'And if elle rape you, you fucking TERF? »

jokes are not offensive
During the special, Gervais said not to declare an offensive joke, but rather “you found that offensive”, since feelings are personal. In the same special, he also ensured that comedy changes over time, so the comedians they can't predict which will be offensive in the future, and that it is apparently offensive to say "women don't have penises":
“You don't know who will be the dominant group. The worst thing you can say today, the one that cancels you on Twitter and sends you death threats, is "women don't have penises".. No one saw this coming! There are over a decade of tweets saying "women don't have penises" do you know why? We didn't know we would have to say it!
The comedian also criticized the call "woke comedy" today when talking about his fellow comedians who lost their jobs over past controversial comments, like Kevin Hart. In this regard, he said he "can't stand" comedy that tries not to offend anyone and tries to create a safe space for the audience:
“I tried watching for a bit and decided I'd rather watch Louis CK masturbate. Oh, I can't mention it. It's canceled ".

Comedy is not real life
After his transphobic remarks, Gervais said that in the real life supports trans rights because it supports all human rights. And he also ensured that they could use whatever pronouns they preferred. However, at the end, he once again made a transphobic joke joking about sex reassignment operations:
“In real life, of course, I support trans rights. I support all human rights, and trans rights are human rights. You know, live your best life. Use your favorite pronouns. Be the type you think you are. But meet me halfway, ladies. Take out your penis. That's all I'm saying.
These comments have brought out several Internet users on social networks to criticize the comedian, whom they describe as “mediocre” and who does not support criticism on social networks:
Ricky Gervais is like an asshole, he gets unwanted on your phone, acts loud and talks tough about trans people but is much smaller in real life and can't stand being bent over by people calling him on social networks social.

charlie caina theater composer, lyricist and LGBT+ activist named Gervais as a lazy comedian who hasn't seen that just because it's offensive doesn't mean it's funny.
Ricky Gervais is just an incredibly lazy comedian who hasn't figured out that just because you're offensive doesn't mean you're funny.
His fans now seem to consist of right-wing assholes who think cruelty is funny simply because it's cruel and "triggers the libs." https://t.co/KG2RdDkL2K— Charlie C🚩🇵🇸 (@CharlieXCaine) May 24, 2022
