Tim Hofman is very angry about an interview with Theo Maassen. He is critical of the changing Dutch society in the AD. “He was once a brave comedian.”
It disturbs Theo Maassen immensely that many people in the Netherlands are becoming increasingly sensitive. He complains about this in an interview with the AD. “We are hypersensitive to wrong wording, we are far too politically correct, bordering on insanity. We no longer say ‘I’m pregnant’, but ‘we are pregnant’. Fuck off man!” he says.
Gender neutral toilets
According to Theo, it is really nonsense. “You don’t say ‘We’re on our period, do you?’ This year also aroused my fear that as a country we are not resilient enough: when the war broke out in Ukraine, all what ifscenarios running through my head. Terrifying.”
He continues: “What if they come here? What if war comes here and we have to fight? Are we sitting here, with our gender neutral toilets! We are losing our sense of reality. And we all participate in it. It is one of our greatest fears: to be ostracized from the group. to be cancelled.”
‘Ever brave comedian’
Tim Hofman is very disappointed in Theo. He thinks that the comedian has sunk very low. “Once a brave comedian, now a man who indulges his fear of the whims of a warlike autocrat on the minimal wish of a trans person. how an undefended man understands his own nagging as the nagging of another.” he tweets.
He continues: “Completely pissed off when people say ‘we are pregnant’, but are terrified themselves shout from under the table that the other person has too much of a taste for rubber tiles.”
‘has no point’
A follower of Tim puts it to him: “But he has a point that we are TOTALLY not prepared for war and our commentary is mainly whining about perky issues?”
Tim: “Those two just have nothing to do with each other. The fact that we are not prepared is not because there is a gender-neutral toilet in an annex of the UvA. That’s because we are dying, no one had to think about war anymore and 30 years of destruction.”
App group
It seems Tim doesn’t think much of comedians. “So curious about the app group of these colleagues in which they can discuss in complete freedom that they earn their money on a stage where they can freely say that they cannot say anything more,” he says cynically, referring to the fragment below:
