    If we must have rude people, I want more of that guy among them.

      You’ve got me thinking about Pride and Prejudice and how Darcy’s flavor of misogyny could be interpreted as hatred of patriarchal limitations on the social class “women” rather than a hatred of what women actually are. That is, he hates the behavior women act out as part of a performance they’ve been forced into, but he doesn’t fully think through the concept of systemic oppression because he has no educational background to support that level of introspection, and so he’s left blaming women. I’m sure there’s probably quite a lot of writing on that angle already, but it’s the first time it’s ever occurred to me.

        not sure which part is confusing you, but i’d be happy to explain.

        • trans-inclusive radical misogyny would be a tongue in cheek term made up for our guys particular unusual views around gender. he clearly hates women, and doesn’t trust them in any positions of authority, but this misogyny extends equally to trans women rather than trans men. usually, these days, this kind of misogyny would be paired with a hatred, fear, and denial of the identities of trans people.
        • blursed is a portmanteau of “blessed” and “cursed”. it is essentially a way of saying something has both good and bad elements, usually ones which contrast in a surprising way.
        • terf is an acronym that stands for “trans exclusive radical feminism”, it is essentially a group of people who make a huge deal out of policing others gender identity and expression, especially those of trans women, under the pretense of caring about women. they have some roots in the ‘radical feminism’ of decades ago, but nowadays align much more strongly with the religious right, as hating trans people is their sole or primary political interest.

            Who exactly are these “you guys” you’re referring to? Do you not support equal rights for trans people?

                Low-tier rage-bait. It confused me more than it angered me.

                Next time, try writing your distasteful replies in a more comprehensible way. I partially understood what you were striving for; however, rage-bait should be easier to read, so that the reader can know what exactly to get mad at.

                Alas, you still managed to waste the reader’s time, which is why you get a 3/10 rating. Thanksn’t.

    damn this is gold. that guy’s a genius. he might have weird views but at least they’re consistent and well thought-through (edit: except the “women are all stupid” part).

    i also really cackled at the “damn, cheese, gender, what else do they deny themselves?” as if a gender is something you’re enjoying. really brightens my day that some people see it that way so instinctively.

    If the story is true, and my guess is that is and based in a Spanish speaking country, I think I kinda love the guy. Like a living Wholesome Redneck meme.

      Honestly, having worked in kitchens, this is sorta just how chefs are. You really need an oversized ego to run a kitchen well, and you have to be a little crazy to pull it off. They’re somehow either the best or worst people in the world, and sometimes you get a Guy like OP’s who is both simultaneously.

      No shit I’d be OK with conservatives electing guys like this instead of pedo rapists narcissists who sell their souls for a quick buck.

              He’s also just not funny, which is a problem for a comedian.

              He’s so unfunny he just sucks the humour out of any scene he’s in.

                I enjoy some of his work, but the guy himself is always just being an asshole to somebody, and not in like a fun Blackadder way. It’s just mean and unpleasant.

                  I remember watching a scene by scene comparison between the UK and US versions of the Office.

                  The US version felt a lot more lighthearted, like everyone was having a bit of a laugh, but it was all in good fun. The UK version was almost painful to watch, it really felt like watching workplace bullying.

                  And Gervais was a big part of that, every scene he was in just wasn’t funny to watch.

          If you want to torture yourself, go watch their 2022 special “SuperNature”. Here’s the trailer where they explain to the audience when to laugh.

          Or if you want to jump straight to the ''important'' part.

          Search for this on youtube:
