I don't give a fuck about "beep bop boop" it's what happened after where she dug her grave. Y'know, like retweeting legit transphobes, and being anti-mask during a fucking pandemic.
Or -- and hear me out here -- people maybe never thought that Gina Carano herself hates Jews and is sieg-heiling in the mirror, but thought it completely trivializes the Holocaust to make a comparison to the what is happening/could happen to American conservatives and what did happen to German Jews?
So I guess it depends on what you mean by "steal." There have been many successful white jazz acts or jazz-adjacent acts. Kenny G and David Sanborn are a couple others that come to mind. Depending on how you define things, people like Frank Sinatra are also in the jazz category. But it's not like how rock and roll was "stolen," IMO. Most of the big names in jazz have been and continue to be black, and the white jazz artists and music companies weren't AFAIK anywhere near as predatory/mercenary/disrespectful as the white rock artists and music companies were of black R&B artists (from my understanding). Far more homage in jazz and less appropriation.
If I went on Twitter wearing a sweatshirt with my company's name on it, and where my badge, and stated up from "I'm from X-Company"; then went on to say offensive things and say the pandemic is a hoax, how long do you think it would take for my company to get rid of me?
Mind you, Disney is the same company that fired James Gunn over Nazi edgelords dragging up years old posts that Disney knew existed when they hired him in the first fucking place. Gina Carano isn't that naive or stupid to think The Mouse ™ wasn't coming for her and probably did it on purpose to get outta the contract like those showrunners who shat over Game of Thrones. And even if she truly believed this nonsense....yeah, fuck her anyway.
And that "transphobia" better not be the bullshit with Joe Rogan and the UFC. If objective reality is transphobic, then the term has no meaning beyond "pointed out inconvenient facts we don't like ".
I'd have a far easier time believing that if those same people didn't have a habit of staying quiet when their favorite people used Hitler or Holocaust references in the past.
Fuuuuuck. I can't even begin to communicate with that. When Rogan is your source of "objective reality" I'm tapping the fuck out.
Which people are these and which comparisons are you talking about? Probably every single person who has been on the Internet has made some comparison involving Hitler and Nazis at some point. Such comparisons don't all trivialize the evil that Hitler and the Nazis presented.
Refute it with more than feelings. And no, he is not my "source." He just made himself a lightning rod for a subject that already existed. And while he's no doctor, he could at least claim to know more than most about fighting sports.
Fuck your damned facepalms. List one of that man's horrific sins that can't be summarized as "He said ofFANsive things in an inSANsitive waYee."
Seriously? Were you asleep the past four years? Or during the whole capitol riot? Or the numerous times it was used against Bush You have to be either incredibly dense or incredibly ignorant not to know of the numerous times Bush or Trump were compared to Hitler or Nazis. So.....where was the lefty outrage then? Oh that's right, it's perfectly fine when it's directed at your enemies. Get out of here with that crap.
See, that snowflake shit would play if you were invincible to speech yourself, but it's pretty damned easy to get you to butt-hurt. You're butt-hurt NOW!
If you don't know why there were so many comparisons between trump and Hitler, then you clearly weren't paying attention.
What we are looking for, what you originally claimed in essence was, 1. the same people 2. being silent when someone made a comment trivializing the Holocaust to a similar degree that Gina did 3. now speaking up about Gina's comparison There's obviously no shortage of people who have made comparisons about Hitler and the Nazis. Like I said, pretty much everyone who spent any time on the Internet has. Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton and others have been compared to Nazis, I'm sure. Showing that some people have made off-base comparisons to or about Hitler would just be step one and something I don't dispute.
You'll have to connect the dots for me. If I weren't paying attention, then I wouldn't know that you hadn't been paying attention.
No, bored is having the same argument with hundreds of meathhead Rogan fans, getting tired, and then having the next guy demand you do it yet again knowing you'll get the same goddamned results. I've been on this ride. I'm done. I have no more cotton candy and candy apple to puke up.
I am not a fan, and you have failed to make your case. His sin is heresy against doctrine before the "stunning and brave" inquisition, nothing more.
I see we've reached the inevitable part of the conversation where notable misogynist @Diacanu does his regular dodges and then declares he's done talking about the subject. The only things we're really missing here is when he tells the person he's talking to to go and kill themselves You can set your watch to it!
Do they? I honestly have no idea. What would some comparables be? I'm sure country probably has a few but I know like only one country song (I Love This Bar)
Is he giving medical advice? No. Is he offering commentary on a subject in which he has some expertise? Yes. But this is a forbidden topic where nothing skeptical, let alone satirical, will escape the wrath of the ministers of orthodoxy. Only glowing, unquestioning positivity is permitted. That is our worship word. You will not speak it.
