I keep saying this but it really doesnt matter what a personโs private views are but what they say and do publicly. Gl*nn*r is already outcast from the industry, many others renounced him including matt berry, ayoade couldve easily refused to write the forward. He didnt.
my hot take is that I do not believe ayoade is transphobic
I agree he was wrong for endorsing a transphobe but at the end of the day I think he just wanted to support a man who basically made his career, it's not like richard actually said or did anything transphobic himself(1/2)
