Dominic 11,922 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 While Rebel Wilson’s BAFTA appearance might well have stolen the show thanks to a gag about Idris Elba and ‘Valentine’s Day chocolate’, some are slating her another joke during her presenting duties last night. The Australian 'Bridesmaids’ star slipped in that she hoped to win a BAFTA one day, and had been practising my transgender face’. While some at the star-studded event laughed, elsewhere others have found it less funny. Many have already posted their offence on social media.

littleFandor 204 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I found it really funny XD and i think everybody saw that she wanted to make a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaxboy 5,477 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 That jokes got the most laughs from what it seems. I can see people getting offended since it's still a sensitive issue, but it's all said in a comedic way and she didn't continue with the joke until it got out of hand. That at chocolate joke tho, girl me too!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainiac 10,934 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It was a harmless joke oh my god. This ultra PC culture that has come about recently really needs to cool it honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic 11,922 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 A lot of the tweets are accusing her of being a racist and transphobic but I can't embed them. Little drastic if you ask me. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 It's just comedy and it's not even that dark or offensive. I'm sure this is the kind of thing the sensitive flowers of Tumblr will cream over writing their long posts about inequality but they simply lack people skills and an understanding of the world. Do you notice what she's doing? She's actually insulting herself using stereotypes and pop culture, if you're offended then you're clearly missing the undertones of what she's actually protesting against. I hope this doesn't explode and we have a rally of people blaming the trans community for being sensitive when it's only Tumblr shut ins that will find this upsetting.

ShockPop 7,747 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Excuse me, she just made a movie about my home town that makes us all look like fat dumb Scum. A movie. Transgender faces got off lightly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkJelly 1,769 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This really is JUST a joke! People are so overly uptight about everything. They've clearly not understood the reference, or just don't have a sense of humour? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreak 6,653 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 There are more people enjoying the joke then being offended over it, let's not go on some PC culture witch hunt of over sensitivity when they're in the vast minority Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
