Things Ricky Gervais has done:
-Called a disabled woman a ‘freak’ (and more) to her face
-Written many, many jokes and shows where the punchline is ‘disabled people are fucking hilarious’ (seriously, it’s basically his thing)
-Enthusiastically used the word ‘mong’ on Twitter as an insult; would not stop
-Been generally an arrogant, cruel, ableist douchefuck
Things Ricky Gervais has not done:
-Contributed anything at all to actual science
the end.
