[politics] John Cleese has decided to announce to the world that he too is a bigot

weird flex

ugh

WELP

Ugh I missed it before. I mean I'm not surprised, he's an old white guy, but I am bummed

colin mochrie is solid too. his daughter is trans and he goes to bat for her a LOT

basically tho the situation is there are exceptions to this rule but the general rule is old white guys are gonna be shit until they prove otherwise

I am grateful for the exceptions tho, they're gonna have some great loving kids

being raised know your parents will go to bat for you always even if they don't necessarily actually understand why they need to leads to more great loving kids in the world. and the cycle continues!

so when shit comes up like this, especially when it's someone who is big and may have been very influential in the lives of trans folks (JK Rowling is another example) it's just crushing

Patrick Stewart is also pretty solid. He's like 'okay, if you'll only listen to old white men, here's me, an old white man, telling you to STOP BEING ASSHOLES TO OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT OLD WHITE MEN.'

Fair. I've pretty much stopped using tiwtter, so I'm not Up On Everything.

He's good for an old white guy because the bar is so lo rofl

*low

ugh. so many hidden pigs.

cool bye dude

ughhhhh byeeeee john

so weird that people feel the need to announce their hatred of an actually marginalized group
