I love public restrooms especially when you go into a stall ten seconds after a really fat dude and it still smells and you can see his rear end sweat circling the seat and it’s really warm when you sit down.

That public toilet seat is definitely cleaner than any door handles you used to go to the bathroom

The way I see it, my butt's all that generally touches the seat, I tend to wipe it first if it's wet, and I don't eat off my butt, it stays ensconced in my trousers. So I don't worry about it.

Hell, the very last scene of the episode is the boss crying alone in his bed completely regretting everything and missing April dearly, implying that even though she's trans he still loved her. Also the biggest red flag during the episode is the line "I used to be a man". No April, you used to have a penis. Graham just doesn't know the difference.

I think it’s telling that most tweets by Graham end up here. He’s literally jettisoned his career, his wider family and his wife, all because he’s got really Into The Internet in a way that maybe most of us did when we were fifteen, we weren’t people with proper careers, and the public couldn’t see everything we wrote about. Literally the biggest idiot on social media I can think of in terms of what’s he’s gained and what he’s lost.

Didn’t he explain in one of his villain monologue interviews that he made the character trans because he couldn’t have a man hit a woman on the show, but if the character was a transwoman then it doesn’t count? Because he’s absolute scum.

I just want to know if anyone told him that or if he just assumed it, like did Standard and Practices actually tell him that it would be OK if she were trans, or did he just barrel ahead with his own conclusions?

SiKboy posted:Off the top of my head, theres one episode of the IT crowd where the boss gets into a relationship with a woman who is perfect for him, when he discovers she's trans he gets into a fistfight with her (played for slapstick). When I saw the episode originally I thought the joke was supposed to be "The boss is such a toxic macho idiot that he throws away his perfect relationship", but apparently Glinner intended the joke to be "He punches a woman and its funny because shes trans. Also lol he slept with a transwoman". He was called out on it (in, IIRC fairly mild "Uh, I dont think you've thought through the implications of what you wrote here Graham" terms), and essentially made a deliberate decision to become Transphobic As gently caress. trickybiscuits posted:That's exactly how I read the entire episode too and I am extremely relieved to know that I am not the only one who did. See, I watched it when it came out and I read the 'joke' was "He punches a woman and its funny because shes trans. Also lol he slept with a transwoman", because all of the 'jokes'/actions were structured that way and it seemed pretty obvious to me that was the whole point of the girlfriend character. I also remember having a distinct 'hang on, this isn't right: a woman is being punched in the face' moment - not because I am super-woke, but because even back then - without the benefit of others highlighting the problem, it just seemed so obviously wrong. A later episode has Roy being sexually-assaulted and mocked for it and it only confirmed the previous conclusion. And I think Linehan is now nuts in a 'mental health' way - he's not just doubling-down on a lovely opinion, he's legit wrong in the head.

Every sane (and most of us brokebrains) person - including, as far as I know, Matt Berry - reads the episode that way. His dream woman and he throws it all away through comic mishaps. Naturally, everyone sane necessarily excludes Glinner. Edit: man tha is some timing in the this post and the one above

There's a whole extended and pretty graphic fight scene that only works as humour if you think his girlfriend is just a man in a wig. If you think of her as a woman, it's not only distinctly uncomfortable to watch, it has no basic comedic element to it. It's a man punching a woman in the face - where's the comedy in that?

Still transphobic, just a bit more slapstick.

I thought something similar- the whole fight scene was so over-the-top that I thought it was some kind of parody, particularly the part where she's sobbing and upset and then instead of slapping him she just punches him in the face. And Matt Berry certainly played it that way. It's not like nobody has ever done a funny scene of a woman getting beat up before. There's the long line of people waiting to slap the hysterical woman in Airplane!. eta: Also a scene in the little-known (for good reason) movie Morons from Outer Space, where a man slaps a woman who's in hysterics, and she calms down immediately, punches him out, and promptly starts screaming again. Not sure why I thought of that.

I'm also on the interpretative side of "the joke is he throws away his perfect relationship through his own stupidity, and as a bonus she kicks his rear end in rare comeuppance he is long overdue for". gently caress Graham, I'll interpret how I want.

Holy lmao I just went to look up the episode cos I thought it was the same episode as the one with The Internet (it's not, but it does feature The Internet in it) and this was on the IMDB trivia pagequote:When Douglas is being interviewed by April, he starts listing film titles that he thinks describes himself, and The Bourne Identity (2002) is among them. The fight that he and April get into later in the episode was referred to by producer 'Graham Linehan' as "The Bourne Identity Fight," as he wanted it to be made in the same style as the fight scenes from the Bourne films. Been a while since I saw those movies but I'm not sure I recall any flat shots of trans women being punched through drywall while a laugh track plays trickybiscuits posted:I thought something similar- the whole fight scene was so over-the-top that I thought it was some kind of parody, particularly the part where she's sobbing and upset and then instead of slapping him she just punches him in the face. And Matt Berry certainly played it that way. It also doesn't help that Matt Berry's character was probably the most absurd, insane weirdo on the show, so when he starts wailing on a woman there's a bit of like... expectation going into it that the character will do incredibly stupid, horrible things. Kinda like an Always Sunny character, except the writer is a giant shithead, instead of a decent person writing giant shitheads. Put me in the camp of not realizing how hosed it actually was until a rewatch. I saw it when it came out, when I was about 16-17, and thought barely anything of it, but rewatching it at like 23, after starting HRT, it was loving stunning how messed up and uncomfortable the whole thing was.

It’s a weird comparison maybe - but GLs behavior reminds me of that guy 15 years ago who decided to make it his life’s goal to ruin a dry cleaning business after they lost his pants. He went so far with it he ended up ruining his own life, it’s a fascinating story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_v._Chung There seems to be this condition some people get where some small, random perceived offense against them causes them to snap to a point where they can’t think about anything else.

Which is honestly a lot of the reason why it SUCKS; the b-plot is so good, but you can't even separate it from that horrible transmisogynistic a-plot because they share a climax!

I do want to clarify that I’m not saying it isn’t transphobic, just that the read at the time for me was of it all as a joke on Matt Berry’s character being a bigoted lunatic who ruined his literal perfect relationship by being an absurdly over the top dickhead. It’s definitely transphobic stuff, especially with Glinner involved, but because of the style of humour that element slipped under the radar and got mixed into the humour of the Reynolds character.
