  • James Acaster calls out Ricky Gervais on his jokes about the transgender community.
    WINNER OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING SHOW AT MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL 2019
    “There’s a rush you get when you watch a routine that has been burnished to gem-like perfection, every phrase and pause chiselled and grooved to maximise the surprise; I felt drunk on it after two hours of this set. Joke after joke operates on a plane to which standup seldom ascends.”
    -The Guardian, A COMEDY GENIUS AT THE PEAK OF HIS POWERS
    “James Acaster already has a reputation as a comedy craftsman, but here he has surpassed even his own superlative standards…the way Acaster constructs his story, the way he develops themes and teases out humorous strands, is true genius.”
    -Evening Standard, COMIC GENIUS DELVES DEEP INTO HIS PSYCHE
    “A revelation…career-defining two hour show.”
    -The I Paper, SUBLIME
    Filmed 17.01.2019 EartH in Hackney, London.

      Between you and me, I look up to Gray as a comedian and a pioneer within the LGBTQIA+ movement, but that doesn't mean that I regard him as some kind of authority on how to address hate speech masquerading as humour or how to deal with bigots exploiting freedom of speech to undermine democracy and the safety of exposed demographics. Ergo, regardless of what kinda appeal-to-celebrity fallacy you're trying to pull here, I remain by what I said.

      I think the most hateful, nasty people in any community is fair game for comedy. The trans people that act like assholes are not so different from straight white males who act like assholes... I have not seen any Ricky Gervais jokes that make fun of all trans people, just like I do not think James Acaster is making fun of all old people in this clip (I see mostly younger people talking about language these days anyways, old people of today loved Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Chris Rock).

Your personal best friend may be a gay person and you want the very best for them and YOU PERSONALLY treat them the same as everyone but if you live in a country where your best friend cannot legally marry the love of his life then your best friend is not of equal standing as you. Which means that making jokes at his expense, when he is socially below you, is not in good taste because he would not have the same social standing as you to fight back.

      And that's exactly why his entire rant is so silly to me. People want to be included in comedy, they want to be part of a joke. Why does he mind trans jokes if other groups of people wish to be included? All trans people I know and love like jokes about the topic, do they not matter then? I don't really get James in this one to be honest. He goes up on stage, lectures the audience about what should be allowed and what is off-limits, all to protect a group of people that probably wants the opposite of what he's suggesting. I have lots of experience talking to trans people, it almost feels like James has none. Kinda sad to be honest.

There is a big difference between laughing with someone and laughing at someone. James I don't think is saying anything about what should or shouldn't be allowed, he's highlighting the absurdity of punching down at a group of people, and then using the "you don't like a challenge, don't see me" copout. Feeling included is very important as you said, it is even more so if you are part of a marginalized group, but the way you are included matters.

Or would he be equivalent to a Hasan Minajh in the US, only appealing to hyper partisan leftists? And since he opened the can of worms, what the hell is he talking about "until everyone is equal"? Equal in what way? Because quite literally, that has never happened in the history of the human race and it will never happen in our future. This idea that we need to discriminate against some people because other people aren't "equal" is a juvenile way to look at the world. It is like a kid friendly dumbed down version of Marx, and Marx was already a bad source of information if you care about the truth or effective solutions. The progressive ideology developed after socialism fell in Russia and therefore the world. These new progressive ideologies are like all sequels, they are cheap knock offs of the original,. This is basically communism from the back door, trying to make sure everyone is "equal" through discrimination and force of law.

      His blind contempt for the audience is one of the most outstanding comedic devices of the modern era. He literally tells the audience - to their face - as pointedly and unabashedly as possible, how much he absolutely hates them, and it gets the biggest laugh of the entire show. The work you have to put in to get to the point that delivering that line is an openly appreciated crescendo is astounding. He sprinkles in just enough moments of relatable insight into his lived experience as a comic - in particular he gets you to “root for the villain” with the Mr. Bean bit and the support hotline material - that you’re so sucked into his point of view that you can’t jump on board fast enough with absolutely hating comedy audiences, and by association and without realising it, yourself. It’s mesmerising to sit back, watch, and deconstruct.

      @@jacobmatthews7524Not talking about jokes, that's apparently something you're concerned with. I'm more referring to real life stuff, like jobs and justice system.
      For example, even in the most progressive countries we know, a simple anonymous poll showed that over 30% of those in charge of hiring think differently about someone when they're female, or if they have a non-native name, or if they have a different skin-color. All these people have equal rights by law, but obviously there's no true equality.
      You can't just flip a switch and say "welp, equality exists now". At that point at best you can hope to create true equality among the next generation that is being born. For the already existing generations, who grew up with the prejudice and bias, you need to nudge it in the right direction. You need to artificially compensate for it. To just pretend that equality exists because some laws got passed, and to pretend those biases suddenly no longer exists, that's disingenuous. You should know better.

      @The Stonefish Such a common argument but so flawed. Treat everyone equal in terms of respect, sure, but there's such thing as punching up and down and it's extremely prevalent in comedy. It's not fair or equal for someone to "make fun" of marginalised and vulnerable groups in the way they can make fun of majority groups. See, a joke about white straight people is usually punching up or at least ahead, but a joke about black gay people is usually punching down and contributes to decades of marginalisation and bigotry under the guise of harmless fun.

      @@unpreparedwithacapitalf and who chooses what is marginalised or vulnerable? What do the words even mean? To even attempt to think a trans person is "marginalised" means you have no concept of anything, or what words mean. Which margin? Who nudged you there? Vulnerable to what? From whom?
      Basically, unless you start specifying what you mean, it's all just meaningless.
      We are individuals, not groups. A CIS white man, for example, who has been maginalised and made vulnerable by pro-trans hiring practices and massively supported schemes and funds is not better off because of his "membership" of the CIS white man group. In fact he is treated unjustly because of it, even though these are inherrent properties he is born with.

      Literally so many other things deserve that part of your attention that you dedicate to refusing to accept trans people as what they are.
      If you're unhappy in yourself, that's okay, but don't act like they have anything to do with that.

      What are you so bothered by?
      You "suspect" everyone is embracing a trans person's "delusion"? It's weird that actual people getting harmed all over the place probably go relatively unnoticed by you, just so you can ensure that everyone knows how much you hate the progression of society, and you won't compromise your opinion just to be respectful of someone you have declared "unworthy" of your respect. How far does it go? Do you accept when someone changes only their name? Or do you say, "well your birth certificate name is what you were born with, sorry, I don't accept the new name." What about hair color? What if they get a kidney removed? That's part of their original biology.
