Well the right wingers have their "counter-argument".

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/eadb3aae.jpg

So I guess that means all the times they said the left was trying to cancel folks like Rowling, Linehan, Peterson, etc for transphobic things they were actively saying in real time...they must be fine with that, actually?
Is Dave Portnoy still being a prominent figure after being exposed to the world as a rapist cancel culture?

He is at the University of Michigan.

He single handedly bought their QB to the school from LSU in recruiting.

The thing is Jimmy didnt even say anything offensive, he showed a clip of Trump not giving a shit about his so called friend and he made fun of that.

So much this, I just watched the entire video of what he said and none of it was egregious. "Consequences for your actions" is not supposed to include joking about/criticizing the president, that's literal fascism.

Meidastouch is asking kimmel to join them:

"Jimmy Kimmel, if youre reading this: the door is open. We would love for you to join the MeidasTouch Network.
We just learned that Disney/ABC has indefinitely suspended you from the network.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live! show has essentially been canceled.

Nexstar Media, which operates 32 ABC affiliate stations, went first and made an announcement that it wouldnt be carrying Jimmy Kimmel Live! because they didnt like a statement that Kimmel made in the wake of the Charlie Kirk news.

Shortly after Nexstar canceled Jimmy Kimmel, ABC/Disney followed up with an announcement that it was indefinitely suspending him.

Thus, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has effectively been canceled because the Trump regime does not like his comedy. Truth-telling and jokes now get you fired by the corporate oligarchy. This is part of the broader purge of people like Stephen Colbert and others.

This is exactly what happens in authoritarian regimes.

Corporate news has betrayed us all. They are enablers of fascism. They are enablers of the regimes dictatorship. This is utterly disgusting!

So, Mr. Kimmel, I want you to know the following:
I have always been a huge admirer and supporter of yours. Youve frequently featured MeidasTouch videos on your show. I think you are a fearless comedian who also shares empathy and love with the world in addition to laughs.

As the co-founder of MeidasTouch, I would love to extend an offer for you to join the MeidasTouch Network if and when your contract permits. You will instantly be able to have a show in front of 6 million subscribers. We get far more digital views than ABC.

Its not even close how many more views we get than ABC on YouTube and other digital platforms.
We probably dont have the same financial resources as Disney/ABC (ok, we definitely dont), but we will never tell you what you can or cannot say.

We will always support your free speech, Mr. Kimmel. MeidasTouch is a free speech platform.
Weve grown thanks to our incredible subscribers of this Substack. The growth of this Substack has enabled us to make offers to people like you to join the MeidasTouch Network. The MeidasTouch Network has once again become the number 1 show on the YouTube podcast charts, beating Joe Rogan. This is the second week in a row we are number 1.

So, Mr. Kimmel, we hope you join the number 1 network in the world right nowthe MeidasTouch Networkwhere we stand up for democracy and stand against fascism.

And finally, thanks to all our subscribers of this Substack for making it possible to provide a network for people like Jimmy Kimmel to consider after being kicked off the air."

Yeah... that's like... he didn't even joke about Charlie Kirk, he just showed Trump's lack of grieving & way of making everything about himself.
Does a laugh track or putting up the "laugh" sign suddenly mean he made a joke?

I think they're more likely angered by the fingerpointing comment because the right do not want to acknowledge it.

I feel bad for everyone working on these late shows. At last Cobert kind of has a year to wind things down. Kimmel was just cut off with little to no warning for something that wasn't even making light of Kirk, but how Donald seemed more interested in his ballroom than being sad Kirk was killed. After getting some of the facts on what happened, I don't entirely blame Disney for it. Disney knew the MAGA admin would be looking for any excuse to strike them down. If it wasn't Kimmel, it would of been something else.

This is showing everyone how important it is to not carve out all these caveats when it comes to free speech and especially freedom of expression in art. I'm just seeing all the same excuses but coming from the other side this time "Private companies can do what they want!" "It's not cancel culture; it's consequence culture!" I wish everyone could realize freedom means you will be uncomfortable occasionally but you can remove yourself from that situation. I wish "Don't like? Don't watch!" was all that had to be said after this.

It's called extrapolation. What was the left saying things like "It's a private company," and "consequences" about, exactly, that you felt the need to compare to this?

Because the "I'm being canceled/censored" crowd then certainly seemed to all be saying a lot of the same stuff...

Mostly the game remasters that are coming out recently that everyone seems to love. I know Kiwami 3 has a few side quests in its crosshairs to remove already. The Dragon's Crown Remaster changed a bunch of outfits for Sony. The release of 100 line put white bars of light over graphic scenes only on Nintendo Switch. I never mentioned the left either. I've stopped getting any game remaster because they always change stuff! Why do I have to research what is rhe co.plete version made by an author?

I mean why wouldn't he be at this point?

Trump said 2 months ago that America shouldn't have a problem with anything he's doing because they voted for it. And stupid people thought that egg prices were the biggest threat to country, and voted accordingly.

There is literally no point in hiding cooperation to P2025 at this point because it's obvious to every who's not an oblivious moron.
