    I do find the idea of saying TERFs come across as stupid as some absurd Monty Python characters delightful.

    But on the other hand, John Cleese has shared some transphobic views in the past, so using his work may not hurt the TERFs’ feelings as hoped.

        My problem isn’t per se in the fact that Cleese is transphobic, it’s the fact that saying to a transphobe “hey, you’re like this moronic character that was created by a transphobe” might be taken as a compliment by said transphobes, and so not have the intended effect.

          I don’t know if this would be the case (not because I disagree, but because I literally do not know) but I think I get your point now.
