It's like that South Park episode where there's a huge threat to reveal everyone's internet search history and it sends South Park into a mass panic. Last edited by CoMoChief; 07-25-2018 at 06:38 AM.. |

my former employer knew about this place and that I was BigRedChief. I'm not ashamed of anything posted on here so they were good.

The right is now weaponizing political correctness against celebrities.
Dan Harmon also deleted his twitter after an old video of him mock raping a baby doll was found. So who knows about rick and morty now. I like GotG and it was good BECAUSE of Gunn... but I can't feel too sorry for him. He's one of many who has supported this climate of calling people out for bad jokes and getting them fired. Hell, I think gunn even agreed with his own firing. Society is going to get really boring in this snitchy call out culture. |

This is about a family friendly company firing someone because he made awful pedophile jokes before they had even hired him. I personally find pedo jokes offensive, but that doesn't mean they're inherently offensive. The fact that he was engaging with someone convicted of child pornography doesn't help his case in the slightest. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 07-25-2018 at 10:21 AM.. |

Look, if you're unhappy about political correctness and call out culture I'm with you. If you're selectively opposed to it when your ox is gored, you're part of the problem. Bottom line is Trump isn't employed by Disney. I'm sure they would have fired him. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 07-25-2018 at 10:29 AM.. |

Now that a hate mob has made it viral, it is what it is. It's hard to take a position of "Race jokes are bad, but jokes about ****ing kids are acceptable." That's a hard line to sell anyone with a functioning brain. This call out PC culture is toxic as ****. |

People never learn. That is why one of the iron laws of life, particularly when it comes to society and power, is: Me Today, You Tomorrow.
People don't think when breaking societal mores that they just opened it up for their worst enemy in the world to now use that same thing against them. |

"What if this power was given to the worst possible person?" is something everyone should consider. |
