TMC, what is this post about? Norm Macdonald died almost a year and a half ago, and the interview appears to be about two years old. Is there update, did she go through with any lawsuits?

I abhor modern society and their morality and values.
I abhor the so called "Cancel Culture" 99.999% of the time. It muzzles free speech and free ideas of expression. More or less its an "I dont like you so I am going to shut you up and ruin you!" I myself have had tastes of this expressing my opinions on message boards and Facebook (I get 30 day bans all the time, on one now for another fifteen days). But with Roseanne, that is the 0.001%. She for some odd reason went online and basically called this woman "an ape". This goes public and what was ABC supposed to do? She should know by then and now how absolutely public the major entertainment industry is. Why is she so angry? It's her fault. What, is she going after the show? For what? It isnt my favorite show but it has been on five years and seemingly is doing fine without her. Roseanne's stupidity not only cost her, her job but it nearly killed the jobs of the fellow actors and everyone associated with the series. No sympathy whatsoever. Roseanne is nearly 70, should have enough money to live the rest of her life and should just stay in Hawaii, smoke pot, write a book and relax. |

I do like her professionally and personally (she actually seems like a decent, down to Earth person) but Roseanne is also a bit nuts and sort of stupid. Her original show was successful despite her bad decisions trying to sabotage success with her stupid ideas, and the last season was horrible. She also gave the World, Tom Arnold. Case closed.
I am very much for free speech and debate and there are lots of things in society I can’t stand. I will have dialogue and debate against people who support horrible things lie drag queens doing story time with preschoolers in a public library. But people get fired and “cancelled” for expressing an opinion that goes against the narrative. But I am not going to go to “social media” and personally insult someone. This person Roseanne insulted was a nobody, I don’t mean that in a negative way, but few people even know who she is as an underlying in the Obama administration. Calls this woman an ape? But people call Donald Trump an orangutan and make millions so it is subjective in the end. Concerning The Conners, Sara Gilbert is the ugliest woman on television. Should I be fired and be forced to live on the streets and fight rats for a can of beans because of it? |

The (not so) ironic part of the whole story is that Roseanne has been the origin of what everything today is defined as "woke". Feminism, first couple to be friends with black people, gay character treated normally, and when her young stars had troubles with the producers she always backed them and supported them.
Her infamous tweet was bad, but I cannot believe she's racist or a bad person. She has no filter and knows no limits, so she's just more prone to these kind of slips. And they were waiting for the first one. |

But for her, lack of eloquence is her stock in trade. Personally, I believe that most people never stop judging EVERYONE around them. Everyone!! But there is a definite "eye of the beholder:" aspect that comes into play when people who are looking for a reason to claim offense, hit paydirt. And sufficiently motivated, are then only only too happy to help conflicts snowball, when it is their interest being served, in the process |
