Norm Macdonald Tonight Show Appearance Cancelled After #MeToo Comments
This really pisses me off. Not only are his comments reasonable, they have nothing to do with what anyone is getting upset at. And of course, the best way to traverse a controversy is to deny the man in the middle of it a voice.
Even moreso, his comments had made senior producers of the show cry. I am not sure how we as a society can continue if we cry over a differing viewpoint. Everyone upset at him has taken his comments out of context and misconstrued them. The man is a comedian ffs.
The internet freaking sucks. This groupthink mentality is killing us.
How the hell were his comments reasonable?
It’s insane how people will always defend the dipshit over the people who are actually hurt.
I don’t know. Did you actually read them? He’s saying we don’t give people due process or anything before taking away their livelihood. He mentions Chris Hardwick, a guy who did actually lose his job before he could prove his ex-girlfriend who had accused him of abuse was crazy.
Yes I did. He said that those losing their jobs (due to their own behavior) have it worse off than those actually being raped and harassed.
He was talking about Roseanne and Louis CK. No one was raped or even terribly harassed by them.
Not to mention, in the case of Hardwick, Dykstra’s career was hurt being of him. And of course Hardwick is back on air now? So in what way is what Norm saying reasonable?
He was immediately taken off the air until he could prove that Dykstra was lying about him, which, fortunately for him, he was able to do and he managed to be spared. Of course his name being cleared got only a fraction of the coverage that the false accusations got.
