If you disagree with Robert Webb's previous criticism of the UK-based charity supporting gender non-conforming children Mermaids, feel free to donate here: mermaidsuk.org...
I very much appreciate that you put the donation link for Mermaids in the description. I love Mitchell and Webb Look but yeah, Robert Webb's stance on this is a real bummer and trans kids deserve all the support they can.
@@JackGovier I feel generalising Robert Webb's hatred for how a particular charity operates as "He hates the mission they claim to be for" is a complete farce. Personally I hate the Salvation army, as I worked there - I realised that very little achieves anything, more money than not goes into paying management. While the debate from Webb's point of view is the way he agrees they should operate to achieve their goal, it's just much easier for those without any legitimate arguments to just say "He hates trans people" and go on with their day because they're the ones forming lynch mobs on subjects they're completely uneducated on. I'm not entirely for Webb's views on how things should be done, but people who just use the "he must hate trans" excuse are absolutely deplorable. They are just abusing the group they claim to support by using them as some kind of bargaining chip to win their argument.
@@ChrisSPCs Nobody in this thread has said that Webb hates trans people other than you. Nor does the description say it, or imply it even. You're clearly looking to say he's well within his rights to criticise anything he feels like - that's fine, but are we not also within our rights to do the same? I'm not sure what your grievance with anything that's been said is, seems like you just wanted an argument.
@@JackGovier eh .. everybody is entitled to their opinion and I am glad you decided tho celebrate the good things you like rather then focus on the bad. I do feel as is often the case his stuff was taken out of context somewhat .. but I don't feel arguing is good either. Just glad you posted the vid mate :)
He said “I’ve talked to some really nice trans people here & they have my solidarity if they want it. But Mermaids sucks.” Does being supportive of trans people mean a blanket support of everything trans related? Is everything immune to criticism? Your video description is ridiculous and disingenuous.
Bummer to find out Webb's trans business. Good on you RU-vid person Though when I look more into the matter I keep the impression that he was speaking rather offhandedly and didn't think things through much, considering he claimed not even remember what his problems with Mermaids were lol. I guess sometimes people just feel like they gotta have an opinion on something they don't know much about lol
