Netflix once again find themselves in hot water with the public, after several jokes made in their new Ricky Gervais special aimed at the trans community led to backlash online. Having already received plenty of public ire over similar jokes made in Dave Chappelle’s stand-up special on their platform, including a callout by renowned comedian Hannah Gatsby, Netflix are once again in trouble with their audience after the launch of their new special featuring Gervais launched in Australia yesterday. This time, both Netflix and Gervais are in trouble with the LGBTQIA+ community due to several lengthy jokes made targeting trans women and the queer community as a whole. “I love the new women,” quips Gervais. The special has sparked fierce debate on Twitter, with some people ridiculing Gervais for using a minority group such as the trans community for laughs in the era of Dave Chapel being cancelled for similar comments, while others are praising him for speaking out about his beliefs and supporting the ‘IDGAF+ community’.
