    I don’t think that show made it to where I live…

    Yes, people being pieces of shit is kind of a bummer. Speaking of The IT Crowd… Graham Linehan (the writer) also subsequently turned from comedy writer to anti-transgender activist. And his work shifted from award winning comedy to hateful online posts, fighting legal issues and writing his memoirs on how that cost him his career… I don’t get it, and it’s just unfortunate.

      Yeah, I feel like there‘s a fascinating study into how indoctrination and radicalisation works in there somewhere. He‘s lost everything because he can‘t stop hating on a marginalised group. Cost him not just his career, but also his family, and recently saw him arrested.

      It‘s horrible, but also kind of fascinating.
