Bye Bye Jimmy Kimmel

Different person and a bit different situation, but the overall sentiment is the same. Don't want to see anyone be censored for free speech, but what was said goes beyond that. This is consequences not cancelling or a constitutional free speech issue. Maybe Kimmel and this Destiny person can have a redemption arc. I highly doubt it though.

 
You left one part out. Somewhere between the FCC chief's remarks and Bob Iger saying oh shit, Benny & his staff contacted all the local ABC affiliates to talk to them about Brenden Carr's comment. Between that, public complaints coming in and advertisers considering pulling ads the local affiliates; namely Nexstar & Sinclair, decided to pull the show from the airwaves regardless of what Iger & Co. would do. That sparked Iger to shit his pants and have a discussions with Kimmel. Trump had no involvement in any part of this either.

Yeah, still no Grolen Drumpfgthshp conspiracy, unfortunately - not even any brendan carr conspiracy

I swear to god, if Orange man was half as smart as they give him credit for he would literally be emperor of the universe

I just decided to truncate it for clarity

The fact that the media and shitlib hollywood is trying to sell this as government suppressing free speech is so stupid that it hurts my head though, tbh

Especially considering all of the actual censorship the past 20 years - almost invariably committed by the extreme woke left (not really the moderate left)

Weekend at Biden's literally created a ministry of truth©️ for fuck's sake. Twitter, Youtube, and literally every online company that exists has been censoring people left and right. Deplatforming speakers at events, pulling fire alarms and shit.

The right hasn't engaged in true censorship since bush got Maher kicked off his show after his 9/11 comments, and this STILL isn't censorship. It's honestly fucking hilarious to watch the online left cape up and all of the sudden become Free Speech Warriors of the First Amendment

Destiny is a drug addicted shitbag, who is in the middle of a bunch of lawsuits for nonconsensual behavior, revenge porn, and a bunch of other stuff. He literally admitted he had kiddie porn during a stream once.

Honestly i hope he ODs or something, fuck his redemption arc.

From what I know of Destiny he's a complete shitbag. No telling what kind of drug cocktails he's on. Him and Chunk Uygur's nephew; Hasan Piker, have done nothing but call for violence against the right. Yet somehow they still have (or did have) a platform. It's beyond me why people like Pierce Morgan keep having them on his show.

I don't care if they can have a redemption arc or not, and honestly think they're beyond redemption. My point was more along the lines of what the liberal hivemind guy was saying. Someone shouldn't be censored just because of dissenting opinions. And most people on the right would stand up and call it out as wrong if that did happen; regardless of who was being censored. But Destiny, Piker, and Kimmel crossed over the line of what's covered by freedom of speech. On top of that no government action has been taken against them. So no matter how the leftoids try to spin it it's not violation of free speech or cancel culture, it's consequences for words & actions. Plain and simple.

It's odd, you'd think they would understand the difference - everyone on the right immediately called out Pam Bondi for her "hate speech" bullshit, and they generally remain consistent on it. The left certainly used to be consistent on free speech.
 
None of this has to do with politics. Your employer (especially in show business) has the right to fire you if you make them look bad and cause them to lose money.
I don't even think he should have been fired for that, an apology would have been fine.
But he did get into the "they" and "one of them" terminology which given the timeline was pretty insensitive imho. Very disrespectful, given the context. He pulled a Kathy Griffin, Madonna, etc. and at the worst possible time.
All the successful late night guys didn't get heavy into politics. That's just good protocol.

Well I disagree.
Keep your head in the sand as long as you need to
 
Free speech being censored by politicians is not ok. As I said before it’s the very basis of our country.

If you don’t see that then I really don’t know what else there is to talk about.
Except it wasn’t censored by politicians. It was censored by the company broadcasting it. You get that employers are not bound by your first amendment rights yes ?

I hope Twitch gets sued into oblivion or shut down. How the fuck can you have people like Hasan or Destiny literally calling on people to murder or assault people they disagree with with no repercussion, but if you call someone fat or retarded you get banned.

Most likely years in the making as affiliates don't wanna buy that drivel.
In other words, waited for him to screw up which was inevitable.
 
That’s my retort after a few times of saying “if you don’t think this is political I have nothing else to say” first

Keep up


You have yet to prove your point. Do you have any evidence… like the above posts? Or previous precedent like Rosanne Barr?

No. You have not. Prove your point or shut up.
