Well that's just terrible. Now we need to cancel Indie Wire instead!

Yeah I read the article and knew it was bullshit since I listened to the podcast. They bring up that she is no longer on the show, Bert asks what did she Tweet, Derosa paraphrases her, and Bill says on the set "she was an absolute sweetheart."
That's it! That's all he says about her!
That's where he knows her from, and he doesn't keep up with the news. Overblown story as he expected it would be.

I learned a while back that a whole lot of people can't seem to be bothered to fact check or look into things themselves here. So much negativity thrown around and people seemingly can't wait to pounce on others and attack them.The woke mob on this site are toxic as fuuuuck. Can't even be bothered to watch a clip in context.
Bill Burr is a human piece of shit because he has a questionable take once in awhile? Is this really what we are doing now?
I assure you Bill has done more charity work than any miserable hyper woke fuck on this site.
His wife deserves most the credit tbh.
She constantly checks his bullshit.
But he's is own person-- he should be able to exam the context here. He thinks it's one tweet that got her canned when this has been going on for months.
Every topic is just an opportunity to push a personal agenda. That's the internet. Best to get used to it.I learned a while back that a whole lot of people can't seem to be bothered to fact check or look into things themselves here.

"Now I have to watch what I say."
This is peak white people shit, I swear.

I think people do fact check here but only when they disagree with what is being claimed. They are very eager to accept anything that enforces their already held opinions and worldview.I learned a while back that a whole lot of people can't seem to be bothered to fact check or look into things themselves here.

Broadly speaking, this site is no longer a reliable source of actual progressives; it's mostly just woke white libs ripping hair from scalp over every infringement and sin they can find, continually proving right-wingers right about cancel culture while in the same breath claiming it doesn't exist.
Yep.The same people who would comment and get angry without looking up what he said would probably just read the title and nothing in the OP or threadmarks anyway.
Case in point.This guy is a sexist, unfunny fucking loser. He can get fucked.

I'm not talking about this story, but nice try.
Fair enough. Back to Peppa Pig with the kids.
You mean like the right wing wanting to cancel:
Colin Kaepernick
Lebron James
The NFL
The NBA
Yeti ice coolers
Keurig
Nike
quite literally the election results
Science
Climate Change
Fauci
Mask
Fucking reality
Should I keep going?
Totally a possibility.Or who did but just thinks anything less than outright saying "I think Jews should be systematically slaughtered" doesn't count as harmful rhetoric and should be responded to with "tolerance".
The right (and even some liberals) effectively deaded the Dixie Chicks way back when they spoke out about the US war efforts. Post 9/11 America has certainly been interesting.Cancel culture as I see it is not an independently left or right-wing thing. Both left and right have relatively high-profile instances of 'cancelling' that happens, and the right LOVES to forget that they do this shit. But the left likes to pretend it doesn't exist, which isn't helping anybody, frankly.

The left's "cancel culture" if that's what you wanna call accountability, is mostly towards toxic individuals. The Right's "cancel culture" are on actual things that affect millions of people, but sure "both sides" am I right?
It wasn't a generalised statement. I didn't say Bill Burr can't be racist, but that I don't believe he is and way too many people in this thread are jumping to the conclusion that he is. If you have proof the guy in fact is racist, I'm all ears, but his comments sound to me like they're coming from a guy that doesn't like how much power social media gives over people's careers.
Personally, I agree with him. The court of public opinion gives everyone on social media this unfortunately inflated sense of authority and corporations bow to it because they'd rather avoid the bad press than consider if it's the right thing to do or the appropriate course of action. It's one of many reasons why social media is a blight on society we'd be better off without.
The woke mob on this site are toxic as fuuuuck. Can't even be bothered to watch a clip in context.
Bill Burr is a human piece of shit because he has a questionable take once in awhile? He's a racist because he thinks Gina comparing the Jewish struggle to the "Republican struggle" is merely a stupid and terrible comparison? Is this really what we are doing now?

I agree with you that, generally, the left is more correct in their evaluations of who should be held accountable. I'm literally a socialist, so when it comes to values, you and I probably share most of them. But I am *keenly* aware of how easy it is to lose culture wars when the narrative hangs in the balance, and the left is losing their footing with cancel culture enough that I think some introspection is needed when dealing with big fries and small fries. Carano, as terrible as her posts were on Twitter, probably wasn't the best target in the world. To elaborate: most of the people I talk to in the not-resetera plane of existence think Carano's cancellation was a really big mistake and was a major over-correction. Nobody with a brain thinks she didn't do a bad thing, but most people who don't have them leaking out of their skull can admit that the crime probably didn't match the punishment. If we are still in the business of convincing people that we're right (and by extension, that they aren't), we need to be able to see when we pulled the trigger on an unworthy target.
"Now, I gotta watch what the fuck I say." Is just so telling. What are you afraid of saying?

Burr is Burr. Almost offensive but not really and sometimes funny but usually not. I don't know why people care so much.
I wonder what George Carlin's commentary on the new ERA of cancel culture would be.
she sucks, her acting sucks, and "we" didn't pull the trigger, disney did because disney ultimately understand involving themselves with conspiracy idiots who make parler accounts is bad.
gina is a irrevelant speck in the "culture wars".
cut the cancel culture obsession crap out too. take a break from the internet.
The whole point of the article and how it frames everything is to generate outrage. Basically it's just generating articles to get people clicking and commenting. It fuel to rile up a certain demographic in the online outrage community, which then riles up another outrage demographic, and round and round it goes as they profit from it.What now?
He still says all the quotes that are in the OP. They still spend several minutes moaning about cancel culture.
I don't know what is being contested about the article. The way they describe Burr as "defending" Carano?
In any other sphere of humanity I would be considered a leftist. My father jokingly calls me Comrad.
Only here am I considered the second coming of Hitler. Oh crap.. a nazi comparison. Off to the gulag with me.
