    All I can think of is his main career… that is him shitting on other human beings and making a career out of it… a kitchen is hell… mostly because of him.

    He basically is known for making a kitchen a space of abuse…

    But he was nice to kids… Then he was horrible to adults. So it’s all excused…

    Now he has cancer… what should I think beyond a horrible pos person is nearing the end of their life?

      It’s American television. You want to see less hamming it up for the reality TV audiences, check out the original docuseries Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, as opposed to his US shows.

          Yes, it’s American, so it’s fake and loud and amped up to a billion. It’s not nice to watch. Ramsay has actually apologised and reflected on his part in shaping kitchen culture negatively through those shows.

              IDK if he asked for a pass. Ever done something you regret? Could go public about its regrettability w/o expecting much in the way of kudos.

              Generally I’d argue we wanna seriously encourage recognizing apologies b/c on average maybe folks don’t apologize or see their faults and especially trying to right wrongs is excellent compared to the alternative (snobby pigheaded “I did nothing wrong, they’re just being jerks / they don’t know what they’re talking about” attitudes)

      a kitchen is hell… mostly because of him.

      As someone who used to work in kitchens before his show was a thing, there’s always been abusive assholes there.

      Pretty sure it is a display of what most kitchens are: a high pressure environment where everything must work right. In particular in higher tier establishments.
