There's usually a contingent of cybergoths at whitby most goth weekends which yes looks very cool if you have the gear for it.

Also given that we have the social fuckups of cyberpunk we should at least get the fashion.

I'm Indian, I don't need to look into the past for that, I have my own masculine pink clothes right now. I love my pink polo shirt.

I've read that historically there's a thing with pink being associated with white clothes that have been stained with blood, though I don't know how accurate that is.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear. I was talking about the West. Pink was for boys here too until about 80 years ago when marketers decided that it was a girl's colour.

yeah, none of these turns up any result beyond the book blurb, but can't imagine the publisher would just make them up (the joyce one is obviously genuine) :cripes:

quote:

One of the best TV comedy writers of all time delivers a book which is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered: a) how to create a hit sit-com and b) how it feels to lose everything. It's funny, complicated and utterly compelling' - Jonathan Ross

'One of the most compelling and unflinchingly honest memoirs I've read in many years. It's also the funniest' - Andrew Doyle

'Graham Linehan has long been one of my favourite writers - and this book shows that his brilliance in prose is the equal to his brilliance as a screenwriter. It unfolds with the urgency of a Sam Fuller film: that of a man who has been through something that few have experienced but has managed to return, undaunted, to tell us the tale' - Richard Ayoade

'Hilarious, raw and touching. A must-read for anyone who wants to know the backstory behind Father Ted - and why he gave up the life of a luvvie to fight the threats posed by trans ideology to women's rights and child safeguarding' - Helen Joyce

'This book is great company, and reminds us that Graham is first and foremost a writer, and a very funny one indeed. It is a not inconsiderable relief, in fact, to see that he has not lost the gift' - Simon Evans

'A brilliant account of the evolution of a comedy writer, but also an extraordinary and chilling portrayal of cancel culture. I found it unputdownable' - Lissa Evans

Bobby Deluxe

I was half hoping it was from a review of something else, or he was reverse quoted David Kelly style, i.e the publisher just kept asking "Would you agree his brilliance in prose is the equal to his brilliance as a screenwriter" and then cobbled together all the stuff he agreed with, but it doesn't seem likely - the comparison to a particular director feels like something he would come up with.

Maybe Linehan phoned him up and cried at him until he agreed?

Ayoade is a good judge of film and writing quality, and his quote accurately reflects what's so absolutely wretched about this book - if it is competently written and even funny, but covers absolutely abominable opinions, the danger is that it ends up recruiting a whole new legion of well-meaning but politically uneducated people to transphobic activism - like all the people who liked Black Books / Father Ted / IT crowd and assumed that because the comedy was competently written, that therefore everything else that came out of his mouth (i.e. the ableism, homophobia and transphobia) must also be brilliant.

There's nothing more dangerous than a halfway eloquent bigot.
