It’s honestly funny that he’s destroyed his entire life over what was fairly mild criticism of an single IT Crowd episode.

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.
Graham Linehan got divorced because of his incredibly pervasive transphobia.
Fuck him.

Why can’t we have nice things.
We can! Loads of good TV made by not-dickbags.
I hate that I like his works pre-2001. “Father Ted” is one of my favorite shows, being a PBS kid.
Just pirate it. I usually don’t mind separating art from the artist so long as they’re not profiting from my attention
