      It’s honestly funny that he’s destroyed his entire life over what was fairly mild criticism of an single IT Crowd episode. Well it would be, except the entire British media class and the bloody government comes out moaning about ‘freeze peach’ because he got talked to for incited violence against trans people.

        Just pirate it. I usually don’t mind separating art from the artist so long as they’re not profiting from my attention

      Wow, this is the first I’m learning about this controversy around one of my favourite episodes. I didn’t even know that it was pulled from syndication.

      From my brief reading, it looks like the episode was accused of being transphobic because of the fight at the end? That strikes me as strange, seeing as how she starts the fight, not him.
