Thanks, but what's wrong with AGP? Stands for Another Graphics Project XD
it's really cool but maybe don't call it agp lol
i usually look at stuff in passing and go this is stupid and dumb and itll never pass nothing ever happens etc etc but deadass im a lil scared guys i wont lie. can stuff stop happening please !!!it used to be that way, now it seems like things are getting worse and they're not gonna get any better. half of the country is cheering these things on, and it's really scary and depressing. just try to focus on the ones you care about in your life, and keep your eyes off the news feeds. it'll preserve what's left of your sanity.
If you defend this, just know, you are defending demonstrable infringement on freedoms of speech and expression way, way, way more important than Mod-man being allowed to say the N-word with his homies.I didn't defend it? as a matter of fact I did the opposite when I said
do I agree with that? personally, no
I certainly don't think it should be taken off air for speaking his mind
The FCC isnt a boss with an HR department, its a federal agency that my taxes pay for. They dont decide which hosts ABC keeps or suspends. Disney and ABC are the ones who pulled Kimmel, not the FCC. Pretending "well, his employer can do whatever they want" is missing the point: his employer only did it after political pressure from the FCC chair, which makes it a government-driven punishment for speech. Thats not a private HR issue, thats the state leaning on media. Exactly the kind of authoritarianism conservatives pretend to be terrified of when its anyone but their guy in power.I understand that, but you're missing the big picture

thats not cancel culture, an employer can fire you for just about any reason they want, including but not limited to social media posts. do I agree with that? personally, no - but this is the sort of risk you run when you use your real name and information on a website such as facebook or x
Now this on the other hand, is a slightly different situation. I never liked Kimmel & hardly ever watched his garbage late show, but I certainly don't think it should be taken off air for speaking his mind. Realistically though, he was employed by a network who follows FCC guidelines - they didn't like what he said so they suspended him. Again, an employer can fire or suspend you for just about whatever reason they want. Maybe he should start his own podcast or independent show where he can say what he wants without a big name network breathing down his neck.
bro forget the 1st amendmentThe masculine urge to say the N word.
People are literally losing their livelihood as they get fired for making social media posts about Charlie Kirk, the exact opposite kind of cancel culture that he supposedly stood for, and free speech absolutists are worried about if they're allowed to say slursthats not cancel culture, an employer can fire you for just about any reason they want, including but not limited to social media posts. do I agree with that? personally, no - but this is the sort of risk you run when you use your real name and information on a website such as facebook or x

But, like, for serious not trolling asking a honest-to-dog-question here: is this not the literal definition of censorship and cancel culture?
The Colbert one, sure, you can make (albeit weak) the argument that CBS saw the late night dip writing on the wall, but this is clearly a political action brought upon by a person in power (FCC chair) in the Annoying Orange Administration (FCC being a government org) canceling a show because it dared to say something that administration didn't like.
Even you numbnuts in here screaming about saying not being allowed to say slurs must see this as what it is. This has to cut through the bullstuff for you and finally pull the last cork out of the swamp, right?
On Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel delivered an opening monologue on his talk show that addressed the online reaction to the arrest of Tyler Robinson, the primary suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. "We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it," he said. His comment was aimed not at Kirk but at the maelstrom of news around Kirk's death; it speaks ill not of the dead, but of "the MAGA gang." Less than two days later, Kimmel's program has been pulled off the air "indefinitely," according to his network, ABC.
