CW for transphobia & bodyshaming

Looks like lobster boy's wacky antics are catching up with him! As an aside, I like how one of the complaints is that he talks about things which are outside of his area of expertise, with the Guardian reporting that scientists criticised his "word salad of nonsense" about climate change on the Joe Rogan podcast.

How people didn't pick up on this sooner, I'm not sure. He did the exact same thing in that Cathy Newman interview on C4 years ago when he brought up the lobsters, and he only got more popular after that. How has he not already been dismissed?

He has since deleted the document, and the screenshots from this twitter thread are all that remain.

lol

Also don't read the replies

    He says exactly what power wants to hear, in the way power wants it to be said. He's the fake respectability of three piece suits backed by institutional violence that makes boomer editors in chief feel safe from the nagging fear that the victims of the crimes they are complicit in may one day come for them.
