Something was creeping and creeping and waiting to be seen and felt and heard.My Twitter: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/H. In response, Hbomberguy ran an epic 58-hour charity stream marathon in January 2019, where he battled to complete Donkey Kong 64 to 101%, raising over $340,000 for the charity while guests including ContraPoints, Chelsea Manning. (who has since been banned from Twitter and returned a few times under other names). The youtuber hbomberguy has been making some posts on curiouscat and twitter recently that would be quite telling of the situation before Jon's departure from GG if they were true.

Any pseudo-science, conspiracy theories, etc[edit]

I watch hbomb. He's an anarcho-communist (https://mobile.twitter.com/hbomberguy/status/827630562777169921https://ask.fm/Hbomberguy/answers/137164984363) and that should be noted, as should any other radical political views. He got a lot of flak from other socialists for not fully supporting a sexual assault victim in 2011 (https://mobile.twitter.com/thomavella/status/848924894368858113http://hbomberguy.tumblr.com/post/159210444691/an-apology), and there's some shit about SomethingAwful and involvement with drama-reactionary Mister Metokur (https://archive.fo/ZIWmC) but both seem very internet-drama-y.

Sargon admitting he had one good point?[edit]

Why does this matter? Almost everyone has made at least one good point in their lives. Just because someone admits you said one good thing doesn't mean you 'win', and suddenly you're right about everything and the other guy is wrong. The line just seems meaningless and only intended to imply that somehow HBomberGuy is right and Sargon is wrong. ^{— Unsigned, by: 209.202.4.164 / talk / contribs}

'Extreme left'[edit]

The article contains outlandish speculation about his 'communist views' based on some comment on AskFM. He has stated multiple times that he does not consider himself a communist, and do not support communist regimes and so on. Calling him 'extreme left', let alone saying he identifies himself as such (he never did, not even ironically, as far as I can tell), is simply red-baiting. RW should be better than this.

User:GrammarCommie reverted the removal of these claims.--SkullGang (talk) 20:07, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

You've never heard of crypto-politics have you? ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 22:01, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

@SkullGang In two answers, he called himself 'very left' or 'far left'. In many answers, he called himself 'socialist' -- definitely, by American or even European standards, 'far left'. We're literally using his words to describe him -- how can we be more charitable? Herr FuzzyKatzenPotato (talk/stalk) 03:31, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

'Far left' is something very different than 'extreme left'. In American politics, they're seen as the same, but Hbomberguy lives in UK. Being 'far-left' in the UK is seen very differently (although not positively either) than in the US. He has also explicitly rejected the label communist during his Twitch streams multiple times.--SkullGang (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

@SkullGang The link for the 'extreme left' quote is dead and wasn't archived so I'll remove it. You also do have a point that it's loaded language. Do you have any timestamped links for his Twitch stream quotes? If you want to add that he has rejected the label, you'll need a source. CowHouse (talk) 07:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

If we're doing baseless speculation about someone's political beliefes, then what makes us different than conservapedia or other nutjob websites.--SkullGang (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Rape apology?[edit]

Multiple articles on the site talk about rape apology and the negatives of it, why doesn't Hbomberguy's article have anything about his rape apologism, or his refusal to acknowledge properly his horrific treatment of the poor girl he harassed? ^{— Unsigned, by: 76.190.50.154 / talk / contribs}

I'm not aware of it. What happened? CowHouse (talk) 03:36, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Short story is that former friend (and artist commissioned for work on videos) Klaus posted a callout about how Hbomb was pals with someone from their old SA crew who threatened Klaus with rape, and when Klaus confronted Hbomb about it Hbomb gaslit him suggesting he was misremembering. Klaus' blog no longer exists but you can still see the relevant posts archived here: https://archive.is/https://dicksweredinner.tumblr.com/*^{— Unsigned, by: 76.204.124.120 / talk / contribs}

Well, personally, I found out about this because he very publicly(and in my own opinion appropriately) apologized for it, saying it was wrong to trust a friend just because they were a friend about such a serious thing. It's probably still worth including. Just contextually, omitting the apology is probably a bad idea as well. Apologism apology? ikanreed^{🐐Bleat at me} 19:29, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

I call it 'apology for apology'. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 19:57, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Those discord screencaps are definitely a thing I hadn't been exposed to. ikanreed^{🐐Bleat at me} 17:31, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

It's worth noting that at least one of the people involved in adding this to the article has been trying to 'raise awareness' of this across multiple sites while very intentionally omitting a lot of information, including some of Brewis's reasons for not linking to the callout post (a doxxing attempt by Klaus and later, someone registering Klaus's account name after it went down and redirecting it to malware). It's very strange that Dontcarebear would mention that discussion of the matter isn't allowed on Brewis's Discord, without also mentioning in the article the reasons stated in their own sources ('there has been a big problem with harassment in this server over public callouts') and without mentioning Klaus's doxxing attempt.

Brewis's initial reaction was shitty in the extreme, but what's going on right now isn't, as claimed elsewhere, a good-faith attempt at holding Brewis accountable or pushing him to improve, and it isn't an honest attempt at documenting the situation. Dontcarebear is omitting or selectively presenting information across all the websites they're pushing this on. 84.180.151.137 (talk) 19:54, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

oof The FCP Foundation (talk/stalk)

I deleted the post as per the victim's wishes - they didn't want it public, but this had only been stated in private. As for being 'caught in a lie' the quotes of Hbomb deleting stuff were provided by the victim himself as evidence of Hbomb deleting evidence. It turns out this was not the case.Dontcarebear (talk) 09:30, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Respecting the victim's wishes[edit]

Hbomberguy Twitter Mauler

It's been suggested, though not discussed in detail, that Klaus doesn't want this talked about too much. If that's true(is it true?), should we cut the section entirely to respect their privacy? ikanreed^{🐐Bleat at me} 03:21, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Do we know for sure Klaus even wants this info to be public? Didn’t Klaus delete their tumblr post about it? It feels weird to keep this section up, for multiple reasons. Dotforest (talk) 01:58, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Actually, it looks a lot of the corroborating information around this was deleted or seems to be untrustworthy due to vendettas. Given concerns about both privacy and trustworthiness, it doesn't seem right to leave it up. 172.249.182.101 (talk) 21:07, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

reddit garbage[edit]

Don't wanna point fingers but it looks a whole heck of a lot like a bunch of people on a socialist reddit have a specific beef with Bomb and told their people to go edit this page to say he's banned from their page and then repeat their exact version of a bad thing he did and apologised for over a year ago ^{— Unsigned, by: 87.101.92.78 / talk}

I mean, they're allowed to do that. Left beef is a thing, circular firing squad and all. ikanreed^{🐐Bleat at me} 21:14, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't think it's a circular firing squad when people have legitimate grievances to air. Regardless of this specific situation, people shouldn't get a pass just because they're in the same political field as you.Tower151617Coda (talk) 02:13, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Just throwing my two cents in here, but rape apology is clearly the wrong word here. Since he's actually being accused of not believing the victim. Which is a very different thing. For this and also the thing with calling him an extremist, (for not liking capitalism?) the page does look biased at the moment. 2001:56A:71BA:6800:DC8:BEF8:F741:7223 (talk) 04:52, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Part of a series on Gender

Spectra and binaries

v - t - e

Graham Linehan (1968–) (Glinner on Twitter and other social media) is an Irish comedy writer, self-styled feminist, and campaigner against trans rights. As a comedy writer he is co-responsible for the sitcoms Father Ted (1995-98), Black Books (2000-2004), and The IT Crowd (2006-2013), as well as writing sketches and routines for other shows.^[1][2]Father Ted in particular, which he co-wrote with Arthur Mathews, is hailed as one of the highlights of Irish or British comedy (it was made for British company Channel 4 predominantly by Irish talent).^[3] He has also been a very active and prolific tweeter on popular micro-blogging website Twitter, and in recent years has focussed on attacking trans people and being a general TERF. He opposed the trans charity Mermaids in a rather transphobic post on Mumsnet (a parenting website known for rabid transphobia), and was called out for this by hbomberguy in the latter's famous marathon charity livestream to raise money for Mermaids, in which he raised over $340,000.^[4]

On June 27 2020, Graham Linehan got permanently banned from Twitter, due to violating several of their hateful conduct policies.^[5] On March 9, 2021, he announced that his anti-trans activism had caused 'such a strain that my wife and I finally agreed to separate'.^[6]

• 2Transphobia
• 3Misogyny

Twitter policeman[edit]

Linehan was prominent in the early 2010s on Twitter and was actively involved in campaigns on progressive issues, opposing Brexit and the misogynistictrolls of GamerGate.^[7] However he also took the point of view that being a famous internet celebrity means you should defend other internet celebrities facing criticism. When tiresome right-wing journalist Giles Coren responded to a mild criticism by a Twitter user with the message 'Go fuck yourself, you barren old hag', Glinner defended Coren's misogynistic response.^[7]

The editor of British comedy website Cook'd and Bomb'd (C&B) has criticised celebrities including Glinner and Ricky Gervais for aggressive behaviour on social media. Cookd and Bombd popularised the epithet 'Twitter policeman' for Linehan, referring to his desire to lay down standards of right and wrong. Neil C&B said, 'it now seems that many celebrities – like afore-mentioned Twitter policeman Graham Linehan – simply place themselves above any kind of criticism. This accounts for the devaluing of the term 'troll' in the wider media – the phrase was originally coined to refer to people who post inflammatory messages in order to sidetrack discussion, and generate negative attention. Now, it frequently seems to mean 'anyone with the chutzpah to publicly disagree with a celebrity or media figure.'^[8]

There is some self-awareness of his unpopularity in his use of the name 'Beloved Internet Personality' on Twitter.

Transphobia[edit]

In recent years the focus of his internet outrage has moved on from people disagreeing with celebrities to anything involving trans rights and the idea that trans women are women. On Dec 16, 2016 he got involved in a row over a National Geographic cover story about trans people, which seems to have been when the shit really hit the fan.^[9] According to the Irish Times, Glinner accepts that gender dysphoria is real but 'has a problem with widening the definition of transgender' and opposes self-identification (where people get to decide they are transgender without needing a doctor to diagnose it as a clinical condition) and 'early diagnosis' of trans or gender non-conforming children.^[10] While he sympathises with trans people and believes that they need medical care (something many of them would disagree with), he has a problem with the idea that trans women are women. He claims to oppose 'privileged white people saying you must accept anyone who says they are a woman', although evidently it's ok if a privileged white man lectures on who is and isn't a woman.^[10]

It has been suggested (including by the Irish Times^[10]) that this antipathy to trans people arose from a somewhat transphobic 2008 episode of sitcom The IT Crowd, which attracted criticism and led to Linehan becoming interested in the subject of trans people. Alexa Ephemera summarises it:

In 2009 [sic] he penned a particularly transphobic episode of the IT Crowd called 'Fight' in which the character of Douglas Reynholm starts dating a woman. Early on in the episode, she informs him that she is trans, but he mishears her, leading her to wrongly conclude that he accepts her for who she is. For the rest of the episode we see her fulfil numerous male stereotypes such as enjoying action movies and drinking pints of beer which leads Douglas to believe that he has found the perfect woman. The 'comedy' concludes with Douglas learning the truth and the titular 'Fight' plays out.^[9]

Initially Linehan defended it saying that the character was transphobic but the episode was not.^[11]

However this ignores the fact that the episode offers a ridiculous caricature of a trans woman far beyond what one transphobic (and generally unpleasant) character says about her. Even as recently as 2008 there was not the same awareness that trans women are women deserving of basic human dignity, and there's a long tradition especially in British comedy of female characters played by men to hilarious effect, but Glinner's defence is both inaccurate and insulting to trans people, and rather than apologise he insulted his critics (many of whom were trans or cis women).

He has focused quite heavily on children being rushed into gender realignment and the use of hormone blockers which prevent puberty. This has occasionally been controversial, with concern that clinics are not devoting enough time to evaluating children, but the consensus is that most services are too slow in providing care to children who are often depressed or suicidal, rather than rushing into life-altering decisions.^[12] However he has gone well beyond concerns over children, criticising adult trans rights campaigners and their demands for self-identification.^[10]

He is opposed to the term 'TERF', which he considers misogynistic.^[13] It's not clear why a term mostly used by women in defence of other women would be misogynistic, but Glinner knows best.

He changed his Twitter handle to Magdalen Berns Forever in 2019 in response to the TERF activist and self-styled transphobe's terminal illness and death.^[14][15][16] He has hounded a number of comedians off Twitter when they failed to endorse his position opposing trans rights, including Robin Ince and Cariad Lloyd.^[17][18][19] He also called TV presenter and journalist Jon Ronson 'pathetic' for similar reasons.^[20]

Various people have speculated about Linehan's mental health and how his constant use of Twitter^[21] is doing him no good. Download ip camera tool for mac. On Jan 31, 2020, comedian Frankie Boyle tweeted: 'I've already told you. I'm going to have to block you. I think you're neurotically obsessed with some stuff that is doing you no good/ worry you have some kind of internet addiction. All the best with it.'^[22] Adding to this, James Serafinowicz (Linehan's ex-brother-in-law) has been publicly distancing himself from Linehan, as well as stating that his sister (Linehan's ex-wife) does not share his views^[23], and has (in a now deleted tweet) stated that his extreme views and monomaniacal obsession with transphobic 'activism' are causing his family to disassociate from him. Adding some credence to this, his ex-wife has also reverted back to using her maiden name of Serafinowicz online; un-sourced rumours floated around that they have divorced, and Linehan eventually confirmed their separation in 2021.^[24]

Police warning[edit]

In October 2018 he received a verbal warning from West Yorkshire police for harassing trans activist Stephanie Hayden on Twitter, and a ban on contacting her in future. He doxxed her, tweeting her previous names and old pictures, as well as repeatedly using the pronoun 'he' to refer to her. In his defence he claimed that he was retaliating after she published the address of his wife's business, and he didn't want to contact her anyway.^[25]

Mermaids[edit]

He got very angry at trans children's charity Mermaids on the internet forum Mumsnet (he's not actually a mum, but maybe he identifies as one?), opposing Mermaids receiving funding from the UK National Lottery's Big Lottery Fund. Mermaids provides a range of services for to support trans and gender non-conforming children and their families, but as a result of complaints from Linehan and others on Mumsnet, the Lottery suspended planned funding and launched an inquiry. Mumsnet later deleted the thread. In response, Hbomberguy set up a charity fundraiser Twitch livestream where he played Donkey Kong 64, chatted with various trans supportive people ranging from Contrapoints, to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and raised $340,000 (£265,000).^[4][26][27] Hbomberguy wrote:

I chose Mermaids specifically, because when they were designated some funding via the National Lottery, Graham Linehan, a comedy writer who did some work on a good show 20 years ago, a very normal man who is very angry about trans people all day nowadays, went on Mumsnet and told them to email the National Lottery en masse. Well done, Graham… now, tons of people know about Mermaids, and support them just to spite you!'^[28]

Linehan responded by posting on Twitter about how awful Hbomberguy and his guests were, telling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 'You really need to do more research on these things'.^[29]

As a result of laying into Mermaids and being called out by Hbomberguy, he also has the distinction of being condemned for transphobia in the Scottish Parliament, in a resolution put forward by Patrick Harvey of the Scottish Green Party. The motion praised Harry Brewis (HbomberGuy) and trans children's charity Mermaids and criticised Glinner's attempt to remove funding from the charity. The motion noted that Mermaids 'was chosen by Harry following pressure from a well-known television and comedy writer to have a planned lottery grant removed from the charity'.^[30]

Glindr/Substack[edit]

Linehan set up his own TERF social network as a ‘competitor’ to Twitter, called Glindr. He says this was important because Twitter is moderated by ‘women hating incels”. ^[31]

When Twitter permanently banned him in June 2020, he switched to using Glindr, before turning to blogging site Substack, where he comments on screengrabs of tweets. Comments are restricted to those who have paid Linehan for a £89.99 £49.99 yearly subscription to his blog.

Conversion therapy[edit]

Not content with sending his mob of TERFs to bully a different person offline for each day of the week, and failing to take money from a charity for children, Linehan is now trying to compile a database of 'gender critical' Irish therapists to perform conversion therapy on young trans people - something that is illegal in Ireland.^[32] Linehan might be seeing a bit more than a police warning if he tries to continue pursuing the award for 'worst comedy writer currently alive'.

Invading women's spaces[edit]

In some sort of misguided attempt to try to spread his transphobic belief that men will pretend to be trans to invade women's spaces, he set up an account on Her, a dating website exclusively for women and queer people. He also doxxed multiple trans people on the platform, saying they should be removed for 'not being women'.^[33] Ironically, he only ended up proving his opponents' points when he was kicked out of the platform for not being trans.^[34]

Misogyny[edit]

He claims to be a feminist, to the extent of having a blog at glinner.co.uk titled 'Women Are Important'.^[35] However he is responsible for a lot of rather misogynistic comments, for instance saying of Dolly Parton 'Riiight. And how about the fact that she's completely fucked up her face?'^[36] and 'Amazing how many supposed feminists are OK with women mutilating themselves in order to meet some utterly fucked up beauty standard. #parton'^[37] This demonstrates his tendency to divide women up into good and bad (madonna-whore dichotomy) and only extend his feminism to the former.

Despite repeatedly insisting men should refrain from opinion that might amount to dictating the terms of feminist issues ^[38][39] (often as a rebuttal to cis men who question trans exclusionism), he has in the past belittled women-fronted causes that don’t meet his personal standards of worthiness. He once mocked discussion over the extent to which the marketing of feminine hygiene products perpetuate misogynist female grooming taboos, scoffing “'Pouring shame on body parts?' If there was a special soap for cleaning my penis, I'd be all over that shit. I would never go out again”^[40]. When comedian and author Shappi Khorsandi endorsed Let Toys Be Toys, a campaign group promoting non-gendered marketing of toys, he sarcastically sneered “Hugely important issue. Nothing more important going on right now. Great use of energy.”^[41]. This is doubly-hypocritical as he often couches his transphobia as gender critical thought, in a manner suggesting he has always cared about this cause.

Attacking Women[edit]

Unsurprisingly then, this patriarchal attitude often spills over to his attacks on trans people, where he throws abuse at any cis women who defend trans women. He called the Women's March London 'Traitors' for calling themselves 'trans inclusive and intersectional'.^[42] He also refers to women who support trans rights or otherwise oppose him as 'handmaidens', a reference to Margaret Atwood's novel about an anti-feminist patriarchal dystopia (The Handmaid's Tale).^[43][44]

Blogger and ex-prostitute Brooke Magnanti (Belle de Jour) accused him of 'whorephobia' (a hatred or fear of prostitutes),^{[note 1]} tweeting 'Also whorephobia. My Linehan brush was he kept tweeting how much he liked to wank to my writing (eww), so when I asked him to read a sitcom pilot I was working on, he freaked tf out and implied I was trying to destroy his marriage or something.'^[45]

He also attacked comedian Josie Long over her views on trans people, leading to Long temporarily deleting her Twitter account to avoid the torrents of abuse.^[46] Cariad Lloyd got the same treatment for making a period joke ^[47].

He has also attacked feminists, including award winning journalist Mona Eltahawy, for being trans supportive. The absurdity of a white, straight, cis male telling a bisexual Egyptian-American woman (who has literally had her arms broken in defence of women’s rights) that she’s ‘bending the knee to men’ for supporting trans women was apparently lost on him. ^[48]

More in the realm of insane self-parody/Poe's Law: Linehan went viral in January 2019 after quoting a trans woman saying that she would 'nut so hard I would shoot a hole through the international space station' as proof that her gender identity was 'actually just part of a racist fetish', because he believed that women can't 'nut'. It was pointed out that the word 'nut' can refer to a male or female orgasm.^[49]

His possible nadir was when a woman (and sexual assault survivor) asked him to stop calling women ‘females’ and pointed out that she had been assaulted by men, not trans women. He responded that “it’s not all about you.” ^[50]Because nothing says feminism like talking over a rape victim.
