Definitely.

I figured it was the tie up comment that would've gotten him a warning, because it was dumbly delivered enough to warrant it... but yeah that was sh** towards Jojo.

Agreed, if it was once it could be classed as a joke, twice even pushing the line but he said three things about her sexuality with negative undertones! All in the same conversation!

From my perspective, it didn’t look like a joke at all, I was very offended by his comments

It’s homophobic. Joke or not.

Don't get me wrong he should have been way more canny but don't give them ammo

This stuff always has the air of a reeducation camp or struggle session. You know the guy is from a completely different era with a way different attitude to what's acceptable humour and what's not. Why book him if you're not going to allow him to be who he naturally is.

…yeah, that’s what I figured as well at the beginning and that it was a follow on quip from the Nine and a Half Weeks chat…but yeah, I feel for JoJo…that wasn’t good…

[Vanessa]

I knew he was just joking.
But he definitely needs to be more mindful about what he said and how it affects others.

[Glenn.]

Americans also don’t call cigarettes, fags. He knew what he was doing

[DanielM787]

Why do I feel like Mickey is very mentally unstable to be in there, how did he pass the medic tests

[arista]

Good Mickey
has said Sorry

It wasn’t just one comment though it was a series of comments within the same convo!

many jokes are offensive, that's the whole point of them. People need to see what Jimmy Carr does in a comedy standup or Jimmy Boyle

That was incredibly rude to someone he just met but yes, agree he shouldn't get a warning and just let it play out and other HMs correct him... but they won't allow it because their demographics will lose their collective fit... and to be fair, people have gotten used to babysitters intervening on their behalf... it's very coddled.
