I also don't follow anyone who talks about politics. I am piecing together random things I read here and other random snippets of this story i have heard through osmosis

I agree it is not him directly pressuring disney, but it is 100% the reason they paniced and removed him
they should have not removed him in the first place, that was retarded
I swear to god, there was something someone important said that caused it
Unless I am retarded
which is possible
this did not come out of nowhere
dolf, if you are saying literally no one brought up the Kimmel bit before they fired him
okay, my bad
I swear someone did
I meant people of relevance not random skitzos, but yeah
Either way, this entire situation was stupid, they should not have fired him in the first place, but also he is unfunny so I was not sheading any tears he got fired (briefly)
Are you sure the tweet was after, I keep seeing that it was a few hours before

there was this but its not really calling for anything to happen
Its CNN, but apparently he made a comment on a podcast or something
I have no idea what fucking podcast it was though
Yeah, I agree they are shitposting about it
but I am still pretty sure the timeline is "FCC guy said something" "Disney paniced and fired him"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The FCC guy had involvement
the FCC formally did not
I don't care about the law
I still think its cringe
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak but I am still pretty sure the timeline is "FCC guy said something" "Disney paniced and fired him" (edited)
there was an official statement that said he was fired because he was going to double down and I think it was before the FCC applied pressure
I see
either way, whatever, he should have been allowed to do it
you have to let cringe late night hosts do their thing so you can get skibity biden

I think the non insane ask is a retraction of specific claims. You can't reasonably demand someone donate money
He should have to get shot in the neck publically by a random skitzo
I agree with the extortion part being idiodic
if you're going to play the moral outrage card
you can't turn around and say you can pay to be forgiven
I'm not sure how you could even fix OTA and cable TV
there are so many rules that are holdovers from 100+ years ago
it's that weird mix of private and public that makes it untenable to regulate
we really are lucky the internet was too distributed to centrally regulate or to be fully controlled by a couple corporations
there are a couple weak points, but compared to TV it's night and day
maybe im just getting old or no fun, but the people making the "ahaha tylenol causes autism? catch me being autistic because im chugging that stuff for disability xD" and similar jokes about physically taking it causing autism bad make me cringe so much
i do think its stupid and probably not 100% correlative
but i think its stupider to not acknowledge its about pregnancy for shitty memes and jokes about tylenol, especially when its ermmm trump stupid i take it evury day?? XD stuff
it just makes me assume the lowest common denominator only reads headlines- or you think your joke is so DAMN funny that you have to repeat the same joke EVERYONE else is making when it doesnt even have a lick of truth to it
