Ricky Gervais vs JK Rowling - Triggernometry's Francis Foster | heretics. 3

Why does Ricky Gervais survive cancel culture for his gender critical views on trans rights and offensive comedy, whereas JK Rowling gets a tough time? Francis Foster - one half of the brilliant Triggernometry podcast - is a comedian who has found a way to survive cancel culture. He shares his unconventional wisdom on the second ever episode of Heretics. Just to add - I think Triggernometry trumps legacy media any day! #heretics #triggernometry #cancelculture Filmed at the brilliant Battle of Ideas: https://www.battleofideas.org.uk/ Francis’ links:    / @triggerpod     / francisjfoster   https://x.com/francisjfoster Support Andrew: http://andrewgold.locals.com Chapters: 00:00 Ricky Gervais vs JK Rowling 05:34 The Pain of Cancellation 09:19 What Freedom of Speech Means 13:19 Uninformed Opinions 18:29 Why Satire Is Everything 20:47 How to Respond to Social Media 23:14 Trying not to offend 28:38 Men vs Cancel Culture 34:00 Toxic Femininity & Lady MacBeth 36:30 Jordan Peterson’s weird tweets 38:10 Jordan Peterson impressions 41:30 Joe Rogan & being offensive 44:35 Louis Theroux’s Bravest Moment 47:15 Hollywood’s Hypocrisy 51:00 Wearing a Poppy (military remembrance)
