If you have been living under a rock, you might not know that British Academy of Film and Television Arts hosted the BAFTAS Film Awards. While these things are usually just another pointless awards show, this year one of the films was I Swear, which was about the life of John Davidson. Mr. Davidson has an extreme form of Turrette Syndrome known as coprolalia, which causes him to have verbal uncontrolled outbursts. He shouted the N-word during the show. The internet has been melting down.
And in particular, Grace Randolph, "everyone's favorite bad take factory," decided to jump in, with no knowledge of Turrette Syndrome (she basically admitted that in a post on X) and has been roasted by absolutely everyone I like on YouTube.
I don't watch Grace Randolph except to see the clips. There were more previously, as one YouTube podcast even had a segment "What kind of dumb sh*t did Grace say this week." Drinker called her "the middle-aged liberal white woman who makes it her business to be offended on behalf of the rest of the world." She puts the AWFL in Affluent White Female Liberal. But then Grace Randolph was demanding he apologize for something that he could not control. (Spoiler alert, he did apologize, just not on Instagram/X/F*c*book/etc. He did it privately to the entertainers who were on stage.)
Marvin Montanaro at Geeks and Gamers has an article summarizing the entire thing. Grace Randolph Attacks Nerdrotic As Her X Meltdown Continues in Wake of BAFTA Tourette’s Incident
Marvin M. captures the basic problem. Even after she was told how she was wrong, she carried on.
Randolph did not walk back her position and continued posting about the incident.
At one point Randolph posted a survey asking how we should segregate the disabled, so as not to cause other people distress.
Pierry Chan, of Nerdrotic Daily, cut together 3 videos from various sources. I've listed two below, but you should be able to find the other if you are interested.
This is Critical Drinker's video The BAFTA's Showed Us Who People Really Are
You know, normally I'd greet the prospect of the BAFTAS, basically a low rent British version of the Golden Globes with a bunch of celebrities that nobody in America has ever heard of, with about as much enthusiasm as a 3-day corporate seminar about correct spreadsheet usage.
The video is about 8 minutes long.
Anyone and everyone who has anything to say about pop culture has been piling on. I mentioned on X that I don't think I've seen a dogpile like this in a couple of decades. Takes me back to the early days of the web, or even bulletin board systems.
The videos are all about 20 minutes, which is why I embedded Critical Drinker's 8 minute video above. I know, that is a lot of video, but it is fun to laugh at the woke left, and you don't have to watch, so much as listen.
- Sydney Watson - This "slur" situation has broken the Left...
- Pierry Chan: Nerdrotic Daily - MY CHANNEL IS UNDER ATTACK!!! Grace Randolph Declares WAR on Tourette’s and GOES OFF THE RAILS
- Pierry Chan - IT’S ALL BULLSH*T – Grace Randolph’s Virtue Signaling Goes MASSIVELY Wrong!
- Clownfish TV - They're Calling the Man with Tourette's a Racist Now...
- Ryan Kinel: RK Outpost - Grace Randolph DESTROYED After ATTACKING Man With Tourette's Over BAFTA N-Word | This Is INSANE
There are more, but I have not seen all of them. Clownfish TV, WDW Pro, Midnight's Edge, Derek Anderson - The D.A., Mr. H Reviews, and more have all chimed in. If there is someone you like in the pop culure arena, they probably have mentioned this, either on YouTube or on social media.
Here is the X post where Grace R. basically said that she had no idea how Turrette Syndrome worked before calling for John Davidson's head. (She now knows, becuase she has been community noted several times about the way Turrette Syndrome and coprolalia work.
Thank God the Affluent White Female Liberal (AWFL) is here to save the day.
No matter how Tourette's works, that the BAFTAs subjected Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo to that is outrageous and shameful.

This was handled SO poorly - footage is forever, and also this man Davidson will have to deal with the horrible fallout as well.
Except of course Randolph's problem with the N-word is very context specific.

While reading this post I kept hearing the sound of laughter (Tom Hanks from the Money Pit) in my head. This must be the "Tolerance" these mental pygmies keep droning on about.
