So called jokes about rape!

All it shows us that there are a number of people in Edinburgh who think that killing and raping women is funny.

Or that he’s bought a lot of his own tickets?

Well he was on twitter urging ‘fans’ to buy the half price ones early. A kind of BOGOF

Just for information The Music Halk Edinburgh has a capacity of around 670.

His former shows at the Fringe.were allocated a venue with almost double that capacity.

Oh dear. Fewer tickets and still having to go at half price.

Me thinks his star is on a downwards trajectory

Move over Meghan, they've found somebody new to hate.

No I dont hate him I am just aware of him as many many women have been for some time. It's really not just a GN thing. Hes kind of part of the discussion that goes on about left wing men, often comedians whose behaviour in relation to women has surprised many feminists. Oh and they all claim to be feminists and challenging toxic masculinity.

Discussions about whether his act is humorous or not are valid. Calling him a pin up boy for incels and claiming he purchases all his own tickets are just puerile. As for saying Edinburgh's full of people who think killing and raping women is funny? Well even Truss wouldn't stoop that low.

Frankie Boyle might have bought tickets to his own show.

Just a joke, volver. Don’t you think it’s funny ????

Which is worse. No don’t bother. I know what you think.

I know what you think.

Do you? My God, such prescience.

Well yes.

You don’t think it’s funny……..

Would you rather I wasn't here?

Answering a question with a question.
That's a politician's answer.

Why should anyone hate him?
He seems to have hatred enough for women without us stooping to his level.

Who are they?

Goadyfuckery again which is best ignored because the main aim of a goadyfucker (according to MN) is to get other posters banned.

Just as well I'm not a goadyfucker then. Think of all the fun I'd miss if you weren't all here.

But do carry on and ignore me by making posts addressing me directly. That's sensible.

As I have said I am against policing jokes but am very wary of him. If it's any help I feel a bit the same about Stewart Lee.

I am a lover not a hater.

Having been a victim of sexual violence myself, just cannot find any humour in the subject whatsoever.

Each to their own …

Isn't Jings a late and very well loved poster on GN? what else could that word refer to, no idea!

I hope this will be my last post of the evening on this thread, I have umpteen pieces of mind numbing trash to watch on Netflix and Prime that are beckoning.

Yes, Jings was Jinglbellsfrocks, a much missed poster.

I understand the freedom of speech issues but the issue of male violence to women isn’t something I find even slightly amusing. Why can’t these ‘comedians’ find humour in less dangerous areas

No, of course not!

Your pernickitiness drives me to distraction on occasion but you, Terribull, Callistemon and others who make contentious posts do make me think and I'm grateful for that.

I just would prefer it if a thread just stopped rather than degenerate into huffiness.

lixy
I am very rarely contentious.
Terribull is rarely contentious either, she asked a pertinent question.

I'm sorry, but we are not the contentious ones.

Interesting stuff floating about around goings on at The Guardian in relation to women and the culture there. I wish that every time I wasnt surprised.
