yea good call, definitely on the event for not adequately explaining the situation. I also think it's totally valid for him to be there and the solution can't be that we exclude people with tourettes from public life

The lack of a formal public apology is wild to me though

Which falls on the baftas which is what many of us have been saying . Deeply downplaying the severity of his condition and setting him up in that space was a guaranteed disaster and disservice to all involved

The apology should be private the public is already demonizing him nothing would talk most of the public off their stance

idk, i didn’t grow up in Scotland in the late 1900s, but why are you limiting it to just then? i’m not educated well enough on this part, but can people with tourette’s not pick up on new tics as they get older as well?

So after a night of thinking it over...

F*** that guy, f*** the goofy closeted racists running defense for him, and f*** BAFTA

im fully sure they can, just a generalisation on my part i suppose

It’s already been said multiple times that people with Tourette’s all over the world of various races have the slurs as tics

Im more so mad at the baftas for their handling of everything. And that half assed we're sorry YOU felt that way apology.

They messed up really bad. And everyone involved got burned in some way. From Davidson, MBJ, Delroy, everybody.

Most of us agree on this

i’ll just reiterate my thoughts again:

if you know you have tics that bad, and the venue knows this as well, but you’d still like to be in attendance, you NEED accommodations. what that looks like, idk, but i imagine using the baby room as a safe space to get your tics out without it disrupting the show.

he should’ve known better than to stay in the public audience, so there is some caution he should’ve taken, but the BAFTAs also should’ve provided him with a space to go.

inclusion without accommodations is a recipe for disaster

Got right wing motherfuckers suddenly pretending like they give a f*** about people with disabilities to defend someone conveniently shouting nlgger at a couple of Black actors accepting their award. Despite apparently having a device that can help with his tics...and didn't hurl slurs at any of the queer or Jewish actors when they accepted their awards. But suddenly just can't stop or prevent himself specifically shouting nlgger at actors in Sinners, a film known for exposing racism in all its forms.

Aight man lol

“ apparently having a device that helps with tics”

Stop spreading misinformation man

Like be frustrated but don’t lie and make s*** up

not mad at anyone taking his words personally, because at the end of the day, he did shout what he did. but there is a level of nuance required when it comes to tourette’s.

People really think Tourette is just the Cartman episode from South Park

the more i think about this the more i can’t fathom what it’s like being black OR having such a intense disability to deal with

I've seen more grace extended to this guy than I've ever seen grace and extended given to Black people with disabilities, or simply Black children.

Type of wack ass s*** is this son lmao

An entire generation raised by South Park isn’t intelligent ?

^

this too

The build up is funny because he broke out in song for no reason lmaooooooo
