A few friends on FB that I know lean toward the right side is saying how the view should be cancelled then.

Does the View use such hateful language?
I know they said pence had to be mentally ill because he is religious, that comment is messed up, but I wouldn't say enough to cancel the show.]

If Roseanne just said "VJ = Mentall Ill and an idiot"
No one wouldv'e cared. but what she did was blantant racism and obviously horrible to say,

There is nothing wrong with expressing your views or dislike for someone if you use proper wording.
Roseanne stepped over the line.

Pretty sure nobody here would watch that, so no idea.

So you believe that there's some magic threshold for offensiveness that once crossed means cancellation? >_>

So you think accusing people of mental illness isn't wrong?

The mentally ill thing is fucked up but it's socially acceptable to shit on mentally ill people so obviously there's no backlash.

It's wrong, just saying the truth that nothing would've happened.

BOTH is wrong.

her statement suggesting that former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett is a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes was a joke that was in bad taste.

One is a voluntary affiliation, the other is a series of movies. I don't see how this is racist.

I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.

Why do people keep making the mistake of apologizing? If you think that someone is ugly you should be able to say that you find that person to be ugly.

Executive producer and co-star Sara Gilbert said that Barrs comments are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show.

Except the star of the show. What's really abhorrent here is the censorship.

Every season of Roseanne is great except the final season before the reboot season 9. Season 9 is a pile of shit and even Roseanne would admit that.

Some people, yes.
Also another thing about the view is, why would it be cancelled? (Thought I never watch it, blegh) Not one host is the face of it really, you can replace the whole panel and it still be the View.

Roseanne needs Roseanne to be Roseanne.

Not really. Between an overweight racist woman and a bunch of idiotic sjws, I simply prefer to cheer the less idiotic of the two.

They literally knew that going into the project. It's kind of silly to go into a project with somebody who is controversial on social then dropping them because they're controversial on social.


The primary difference being that nobody cared about her when she wasn't on TV. Her social media activity is naturally going to generate more controversy when people care about her than when they don't. They should probably have warned her about her conduct before starting the project, but at the same time, she's an adult and should have been able to figure that out for herself.

Not necessarily, she may have assumed if they hired her regardless of what her open political ideologies are and didn't tell her to censor herself they must have been okay with it. Although ABC, aka, Disney, like a lot of Hollywood, pushes liberal ideology really hard (as a means of image, profit, and control).

It's not unusual at all when you enter a contract with a company in which you are a public figure, they dictate what is and isn't acceptable for you to express. I have seen some cases where they required the person create a (controlled) social media presence where they didn't have one before.

I wouldn't be surprised if they relented just to prove to her that she couldn't be trusted, since I'm sure she denied that it'd be a problem.

Fried chicken? I thought it was cookies to represent a group of people Hitler killed.

Were those fake pictures I'm seeing?

I think any artist of any kind should have free reign to say whatever without persecution

Imagine if they forced Michelangelo to censor the statue of David?

Showing a dick isnt really the same as alluding that black people are apes

She had free reign to say what she wanted, these were the consequences

The "without persecution" is the problem. People are free to say whatever they want, but that doesn't mean there won't be consequences. People can give you a piece of their mind right back, and businesses can decide not to associate with you if they feel it will hurt the image they're trying to present for themselves.

Impossible.

The instant you disagree with those idiots you become either:

a) A Nazi
b) A racist/bigot/homophobe
c) A misogynist
d) Insert other idiotic labels for morons who can't stand that people have different opinions than them.

I love making fun of sjws and such idiots. It's like shooting a fish in a barrel.
