I wasn’t saying anything about the establishment. I brought up Kathy Griffin as an example of someone who got shut down for offending conservatives and same with John Lennon who drew the ire of the Christian right fifty years ago. Thankfully the Beatles had enough fame to overcome that shit. Like Dom said, we all knew Roseanne was like this before the show, so obviously the corporate people didn’t care about her being a deranged alt-right nut until people on Twitter noticed. People in general want their media to be safe and that’s why they suck and that’s why media sucks. I saw a commercial for Thundercats getting revived and it looks like just another cutesy animated pile of garbage like all children’s entertainment these days. It all just exists so parents can show their kids inoffensive, bland, tepid, boring programming so that their kids can grow into inoffensive, bland, tepid, boring adults.

As for mrebo, no one is cutting off the right, they’re bigger than ever on Youtube and just want to play the victim like they always do. Youtube is censoring anyone that is a corporate outlet including many leftists. I’ll give you another example of someone even shittier than Roseanne, Steven Crowder. Crowder made a disgusting video claiming that AIDS was never an epidemic and that research money is wasted because most people that die of AIDS are gay. Crowder is a disgusting pile of dishonest shit and I hate him, but I don’t want him to get removed from YouTube for not representing Youtube’s values. That’s a little different because Crowder’s show is a propaganda outlet and Roseanne’s was actually a real show and her offensive comments were made outside of the show, but again, these are just more examples of the media sucking and being terrible. People that are far dumber than Roseanne surround us already. They’re your neighbors, they’re your coworkers, they’re your family, although they actually have no redeeming qualities while Roseanne actually has at least one. So ultimately, I don’t care. Again, this is just going to lead to these dying TV corporations aligning with people that they suspect won’t do anything remotely offensive, and that’s going to lead to safer programming, and as we all know safe programming sucks horribly and is unwatchable dogshit.
