Ricky Gervais is a British Comedian who is very outspoken about Atheism, as well as his other beliefs and opinions. I don’t have a problem with this. I agree, everyone has the right to say whatever they want. However, Mr Gervais doesn’t seem to think that this applies to anyone but him. Mr Gervais spends his time on site such as Twitter and Facebook bashing Religion as well as other subjects. Yet, whenever he gets any negative criticism, he threatens to block the person and calls them an idiot. Let’s take a look at an example of this :
“If you don’t like my posts, please let me know and I will block you”
You know, Ricky, for a guy who spends a lot of time dishing out negative comments you sure can’t take them. Ignoring negative criticism is one thing, but censoring them is quite another.
“What kind of a c*nt likes your page and then complains about it”?
(I’m sorry but that wasn’t his exact words, but he has made this argument several times)Well, Ricky, guess what? You don’t have to like a page to see their posts. Every Facebook user should know that what other people like also comes up on your newsfeed. Hell, Gervais might even come up in a recommended page. This means that Gervais’ posts may come up regardless of whether or not you’ve liked his page.
So Ricky, you’re allowed to make fun of people’s beliefs and opinions constantly but if someone says anything negative about you, you feel the need to block them and call them a “c*nt”? Are you the only one who has the right to free speech or what?
Thanks for reading.
