I love how people can't take jokes anymore. That sounds exactly like some stupid joke every 14 yo would make. If you know someone said something as a joke, and you still get offended that's on you.

I love how people can't accept accountability anymore. That sounds exactly like some stupid remark that would've got somebody into trouble at any point throughout history, so celebs usually had enough sense to not make it. The few stupid enough to do it almost always got in trouble. That was true ten years, twenty years ago, thirty years ago, forty, fifty, a hundred, two hundred, etc.

And your defense that everybody should act like 14 year-olds (when even most 14 year-olds wouldn't do that, other than edgelords) makes the argument even more ridiculous. When a 14 y/o nobody makes a joke, they don't have much to risk. However, if that edgelord has a large following on YT or Twitch and could potentially be demonetized, that's the kind of consideration that should cross their mind before they make a remark that could get them demonetized.

What a foolish thing to say. Sounds like Jack Black was blindsided by it. Imagine tanking your own career and dragging all of the support for Tenacious D down with you because you want to be a smarmy edgelord.

Jack Black will be fine but there's backup musicians and techs and roadies and managers and merch people etc etc who are all gonna lose money because of Kyle's stupidity

Yeah, those poor decisions impact a lot of other people.
