As disgusted as I am with the people that have been openly celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination, I don't think death should automatically make somebody immune from criticism. All Kimmel did was point out that the MAGA crowd are desperately trying to characterize Tyler Robinson as a dangerous leftist, despite evidence so far pointing to him being a Gropyer (alt-right white nationalist faction that has openly feuded with Charlie Kirk.)
Kimmel deserves better than to be cancelled because Trump is a twiggered wittle snowflake who can take about as much criticism as a Reddit or Discord moderator.
I already cancelled mine over a year ago because Disney tried to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit on the grounds that the family had agreed to a forced arbitration clause, all because their daughter signed up for a Disney+ trial. Do I even need to explain how much of a cunt you need to be in order to wave a forced arbitration agreement at a grieving family whose loved one was killed by the gross negligence of a staff member?
(also, the fact that I can type this comment on Lemmy and not Reddit says it all.)
I'd add one thing. This isn't Trump cancelling him, he may only be slightly aware of the situation. His people saw an opportunity to make their own Horst Wessel and jumped on it. And fuck me, for once they did something that actually worked.
Part of the reason Stephen Colbert's show is getting cancelled is over the Trump Administration approving a merger between Paramount and NBC?
And then they decided to offer South Park Studios a $1.5bn deal....
I'm guessing the Charlie Kirk assassination isn't the only reason South Park is getting delayed.
May and Trey don't care they got their money.
