What’s this, the predictable consequences of my actions? Well I never.
Gone nowhere have they? I can’t imagine why.
These are the times that try men’s souls. They are also the times that put the “Fuck You” in “Fuck You Money”.
Jimmy did nothing wrong but they want him to apologise AND donate to a hate group? Fuck that bullshit.
I’d be ok with him donating a paltry amount. Say… $86.47
Those assholes love their dog whistle numbers, maybe it’s time to show them how stupidly transparent it is.
Too late bitches.
I’ll never pay to watch anything Disney ever again.
I’ll watch it.
But I’m not paying for it.
I never cared that much about Kimmel, but I deeply cared about the government silencing him through company coercion.
I guess the C suite folks miscalculated people giving a shit about the First Amendment.
Same, I’m not a Kimmel fan but this crossed a line.
Because despite popular belief, the left has never been good at cancel culture. That’s always been a right-wing thing. And they are aware of that. So I’m sure they were shocked that the left could boycott in an effective way like the right has in the past.
Just look at the Charlie Kirk aftermath. How many people lost their jobs because they showed the wrong emotion and posted about it? I haven’t heard of a single person on the right fired for threatening retaliatory violence.
How many jokes did I hear about Nancy Pelosi’s husband?
That’s the thing that actively pisses me off the most. The right has been fucking monsters when it comes to their reactions to violence like that. Absolute, psychopathic, proudly hypocritical monsters, willing to joke about an elderly man being assaulted in his home because he happened to be the husband of a Democrat. And silence when asked about whether urging their sick followers to commit violence might be leading their sick followers to commit violence.
And the murders that took place in Minnesota a few months ago? Jokes and silence there, too.
But a late-night comedian says something that isn’t even disrespectful or in any way condones violence, just acknowledges the kind of person Kirk was… and they lose their fucking minds.
Always remember this, folks: It’s all performative. They don’t actually care. They know Kimmel didn’t say a goddamn thing that could be interpreted as support for violence. They know.
They can’t bring him back because they don’t want to piss of Tump.
They can’t keep him off air and not lose paying customers.
There is no fixing this. They made their choice, now suffer the consequences.
They can’t bring him back because they don’t want to piss of Tump.
Everything else is inconsequential. This is the essence of the problem. We’re not supposed to be living in a country where anyone should be afraid to make fun of or piss off the president. He’s not a king and he’s not an emperor. He is a replaceable employee of the government.
I cancelled mine and was actually in the middle of watching the new King of the Hill and Alien Earth.
So they’re gonna uncancel Kimmel, right? Or are they gonna fire even more of their own talent that has been speaking out against their fealty to fascists?
Didn’t they try to but he refused to accept their terms by not apologizing? (I don’t watch Kimmel but he earned my respect for that.)
Same, I don’t dislike Kimmel but just never really watched him. Still cancelled Disney+ even though I have a kid that will be very angry not having Bluey on demand.
It’s us against them for at least the next ~3.5 years (hopefully not longer),
Physical media still works without resorting to piracy, and setting up a home media server is pretty straightforward.
Just check to see if Disney gets a cut of the physical media sales first. If it does, buy it used.
Kudos to Jimmy for not caving into the shitstains running Disney.
But Disney recently caught the ire of RepubliKKKans for siding with the gays. Wt actual f is happening here?
Why post the clickbait title…?
Probably Rule #4
- Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
What is this? Reddit? That’s a stupid rule.
Why is it a stupid rule?
Because it forces OP to use a shitty headline instead of coming up with their own.
