What TERF makes you saddest? I’m stuck between Rowan Atkinson and Tom Stoppard
What TERF makes you saddest? I’m stuck between Rowan Atkinson and Tom Stoppard
Professor Robert Winston.
missed stoppard. ah well (not too surprised)
yeah, i expected better from him
I didn't know about either of these, but Rowan Atkinson for sure. That sucks!!!
Didn’t know about Rowan, dammit
It's been in his Wikipedia the whole time unfortunately.
This genuinely shocked me bsky.app/profile/elec...
Tom Stoppard actually signed a worthwhile open letter for once variety.com/2024/film/gl...
Joaquin Phoenix, Elliott Gould, Chloe Fineman and more Jewish creatives have signed an open letter supporting Jonathan Glazer's Oscars speech.
variety.comThat’s really nice to see! Maybe he’ll come around, who know. His plays meant so much to me as a younger guy
The uniformity with which it's been adopted by nearly every English media person over 35 is truly one of those 'how could we not see this coming' moments - they gave us all the clues (weird fixation with comic drag, pedantry as a way of life, psychotic hostility towards violators of 'common sense')
That was absolutely a "Wait, YOU'RE not on the other side of this?" moment.
Jennifer Saunders primarily, but I really wish John Cleese would STFU
Yeah the abfab terfyness is just depressing.
yeah that’s bad too. I was thinking French and Saunders. F&S supporting JKR makes me not enjoy their stuff anymore
I was disappointed that Graham Lineman (the creator of the IT Crowd) went that way too - it sours the material knowing that the person who made the thing you like is such a dumb motherfucker
NOOOOOO!!
why does everyone suck so much?
it's like a competition!
like they could just shut the fuck up and enjoy their money for the rest of the ride, why is that so hard
I will truly never understand having enough money to just enjoy life until it ends and doing THAT with your one life you have to live.
dude for real
NB: JS has liked JKR’s shitty tweets, so until she says otherwise…
I was disappointed that Graham Linehan (the creator of the IT Crowd) went that way too - it sours the material knowing that the person who made the thing you like is such a dumb motherfucker
Atkinson's great but very few pieces of art have hit me like Leopoldstadt did
Martina Navratilova was the last one where I went "wtf really"
mostly cos I thought she was smart
but really all of them make me sad
Rowan Atkinson?!?
Mine is the author Jane Harris. She has written some fantastic books that I will never reread, and her current books might also be great, but I can't bring myself to read them.
Oh no Rowan Atkinson????? I think I need to go cry in the shower now
I was really upset by Hilary Mantel.
Susan Hill was a shocker too. Actually decent writers, unlike JKR.
Oof what did Atkinson say?
soz to be a nudge but if someone has never made the pretense of being a feminist, let alone a radical one, can we just call them a garden variety transphobe?
Prob better!
thanks pal
It was a list of people who have been proven TERF, and it includes Richard Ayode, Rowan Atkinson, and Tom Stoppard.
Didn't know about this. I saw the short series that Rowan Atkinson did and liked it. Will check it out.
Meillä kotona kiistellään brittikoomikoiden paremmuudesta: Minun suosikkini on John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson.
Maybe he really likes Rowan Atkinson in The Lion King
Idiot cop doesn’t even know Rowan Atkinson’ name. Fuck pigs
