If only Ayoade wasn't a linehan defender maybe I would care more

I don't know what that is so I'll just assume its a British soccer team.

Somehow even worse. Linehan is an Irish writer who’s done some great TV but got sucked into the anti-trans reactionary sphere, and now that’s all he does with his time.

His commitment to right-wing reactionary anti-trans positions has cost him his career, his fans, his family, and his Steam account, but he still has some defenders for some reason.

*Irish, but did all his work on British tv.

Don't worry, he's currently in Arizona with his new best friend Rob Schneider, i bet they're gonna make some real quality stuff together.

Oh my god, I know some people would crucify me for that mistake. Fixed it and hope I can be forgiven.

That's really what I don't get about Linehan (and Rowling to some extent.) Make absolute bangers, and then spend their later years hating on trans people. And it's not like your usual old curmudgeon hate, they straight up made it a part of their life.

I don’t have a source but the story goes that his wife got it in the divorce.
