I like how bulling is being redefined to mean 'politely declined work from a woman because her husband is a fucking maniac'.

Quote from: king_tubby on May 24, 2022, 09:15:09 PMI mean, I love Albini so much one of my cats is called Steve Albini the cat so I am incredibly biased, but this is a bloke who was a total edgelord back in the day (I mean fucking hell the name of his band after Big Black) and he has completely turned that all around and come out as a thoughtful, decent man who completely owns the shit he used to say and is trying to make amends.

Which is punk as fuck.

Excuse the ramblings, I've had some wine.
I love the fact your cat is named after Steve Albini. Is he a cantankerous old bugger as well?

frajer

Look, you just don't TALK to a man's wife, you decline to discuss things with them further then go to their husband. Wives have no agency or independent thoughts and that's feminism.

Quote from: Rich Uncle Skeleton on May 25, 2022, 10:03:46 AMhahah yeah who on earth is going to post that hashtag? how does he think that's going take off, I thought he was supposed to be Mr Twitter and knew how these things worked.

hes a previously rich bloke at a vegas casino who was plied with chips and food and boose for a week, and now hes convinved the slot machines have got it in for him, staff wont even look him in the eye

Wasn't she co-director of their production company, as in someone who might actually send people scripts to read and want feedback?

I thought the hashtag was Do Disa misogynist bully and I didn't know what that meant

Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse

Helen divorced you Graham, get her fucking name out of your mouth.

PlanktonSideburns

feel like i could look at that hastag all day and not parse it

bgmnts

Holy shit so Linehan is/was SO toxic that it was affecting his wife's ability to work?

That's special.

Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse

Haha I just looked at David O'Doherty's Twitter and the only thing he's tweeted about trans people is the James Acaster clip. Nothing else, nothing about Glinner personally and Graham's frothing at the fucking mouth

Jesus

Expressing any support for transgender people no matter how placid is not only completely indefensible to Graham but also a personal attack on him. Among his other personality flaws he is a raging narcissist.

His daughter doesn't want to see him. Only his son goes to visit him. Feel icky commenting on it because nobody wants his family involved but he drags them into it. It's sad for him, because his family is doing great without him. Helen Serafinowicz won a BAFTA, for fuck's sake.

yeah she still is. He was probably turning down an offer from Delightful Industries, not Graham Linehan's wife

Absolutely unhinged levels of delusion and making himself the victim when actually he's just been a hateful bullying cunt all along.

Also at this point he has just as much vitriol for people who've only recently become transphobic because they're stealing the glory from him who's been massively transphobic for the best part of a decade. All he has left is his subscriber club of groomed sycophants

I suspected as much from a few things he's said recently, not least from his newfound enthusiasm for mentioning her. How sad. That poor family.

Jesus.

There's a glincel on his blog who has sent an enormous letter of complaint to Hat Trick, complete with loads of links to transphobic bullshit - I've cut that bit out.

Spoiler alert
Quote from: a GlincelThose who support human rights are deeply disappointed that you have decided to take the side of aggressive activists who have caused terrible harm to Graham Linehan for daring to stand up for the human rights of women and children.

What a shame you've decided to stand alongside men who are aggressively stripping women and children of their human rights and believe in medical experimentation on children.

What a shame you won't make what would be an absolutely brilliant and very funny musical and give a brilliant writer and creator his due - while making yourself a great deal of money

Because you're too scared to say "I understand reality and I believe in the human rights of women and children." Not only that, you're terrified of even being associated with anyone who holds this completely non controversial stance.

You do understand that the vast, vast majority of all humanity completely agrees with him, surely? That the loud hatred coming from an unhinged minority of aggressive activists in no way reflects reality or public sentiment?

Surely you already know that it is only the aggressive silencing of the media on this topic that has allowed women and children's human rights to be so endangered to the point that decent people everywhere have had to make a stand.

Thankfully, alongside Graham Linehan, Gervais, Maher, Chapelle and many many more are also finding their courage and standing up for the human rights of women and children.

As well as of course the wonderful, kind and compassionate JK Rowling, Suzanne Moore and many women who have been under assault for years for making the completely uncontroversial and factual statement that men aren't women and that biology matters.

Here's what we know about Hat Trick:

[Long list of transphobic shit and links, asserting that Hat Trick knows all about every incident.]

You already know all of this - but as you said "I don't care".

You're petrified of looking as though you're giving even indirect support to a brilliant creative talent by making what would be a fantastic musical - because he dared to say women's human rights matter and we should not be performing medical experiments on children.

Women and decent men won't soon forget the craven cowardice of those too terrified to stand beside those who have stated these completely non controversial facts:

Men aren't women. We should not be performing medical experiments on children. And it's not ok to threaten anyone with sacking, doxxing, rape and murder for saying so.

And it's not remotely hateful, controversial or unkind to state these facts.

History will not treat you kindly. For shame.

How about some Shakespeare from Josephine Liptrott:

Quote from: JLAnd ostrich-like producers now too scared

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us against trans tyranny.

Jesus. Someone needs to tell them it is not just about "gender critical" beliefs. He is a vile bully and damn right that no one wants to be associated with him

Quote from: Better Midlands on May 25, 2022, 08:39:17 AMDavid O'Doherty will be going on the list




I've seen that Acaster set and he doesn't say anything about rapists, wtf.

JaDanketies

David O Doherty text shows that his activism was impacting Helen's career and he was in full awareness of this. Only makes sense when you realise he has to think this is the most important thing in the world and literally more important than his family.

I was thinking when I first started rubbernecking years back that when his kids grew up they would stop seeing him, and now that is happening. I can't imagine how heartbreaking that is for his former family.

Hah, no he's ridiculously large and very timid.

jobotic

I can't believe Hat trick threatened to rape and murder people for saying that we shouldn't perform medical experiments on children.


Because they didn't. These people are fucking sick.

Quote from: Better Midlands on May 25, 2022, 09:01:54 AM

How can that be read and come out thinking that anyone other than Glinner is the bully.

It's all the same horrible, hectoring tone, an evangelist stood on a crate in the market square with a loudspeaker saying how we're all going to hell.

'One thing I can't stand is bullies. Shut UP. Fuck OFF!!'

I've just never seen anyone so dedicated to hiding behind women and using them in such a nauseating and slimy manner before. The JK Rowling stuff is just the icing on his transphobic Glinnercake. He clearly has no regard for women at all and treats them as tools to get what he wants. Women are nothing but a shield to Linehan.

Still can't believe this exists, and that people buy into his nonsense:

Quote from: Elfking on May 25, 2022, 02:10:46 AMKind of off-topic I suppose but a "wrestling reporter" apparently went off on a bender and proceeded to be very transphobic and very loud about it. Just like all transphobes he is coming off as unhinged and getting his facts wrong (claims a trans person was the first women's champion in a company when she was, I believe, the second.) He's also been DMing the owner of this wrestling company and confusing him. At some point he appeared on video, visibly drunk and smoking a joint with his wife and said he wanted to fuck her but she was pissed off, flipped her the bird and ended the video.

Anyway, I thought is was notable because the people in the Reddit thread brought up J K Rowling (J K Rowling) and Graham Linehan: https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/uwqt3b/megathread_ringside_news_is_having_a_transphobic/i9szatc/

It's also very funny when he goes about "men" competing with women in professional wrestling... Since the outcomes are scripted professional wrestling should be the one "sport" where there doesn't need to be any debate about trans athletes.

Good to see wrestling continues to be a bin fire. Nyla Rose is amazing though and deserves better than this shite.

It's just so needless. On paper he had it all a few years back but chose to tank it. And for what? Nothing, absolutely nothing. He has got absolutely nothing to show for the last few years except fake online friendships from people he wouldn't even give the time of day to outside of transphobia


Sebastian Cobb

Isn't it already revealed in some camcorder footage that Brennan has a son? Sort-of an extension of his other sordid stuff like talking to Ted over the phone while sat in a golden bath with beautiful women etc.

Barry Admin

Oh god yeah, I love it when the glincels spitball comedy idea for him.

His relationships are transactional so I'm not sure that would bother him, provided the praise and hero worship keeps flowing in.

I suspect he's pretty content in many ways, tbh. Not happy, but content. All he wants is to feed his impulses, and he gets to do that by sitting on twitter being a cunt all day long. Then he nicks a load of other people's work, shoves it on his blog and says "I hope they don't mind", and rakes in the winter fuel allowance. Doesn't need to moderate it or do fuck all really.
