It is on Fox Nation, Fox News’ streaming service. It will be easy not to watch.

Can’t wait to watch all the oblivious redditors give Roseanne a ton of extra exposure because they won’t shut up about how they aren’t watching something.

OMG streaming comedy for boomers who hated her ass and called her un-American in the 90s when she scratched her crotch and spit when she sang the national anthem

Yes how dare a network fire an employee for making openly racist comments, especially ROSEANNE! She's the 90s hero of oppressed peoples because she made She-Devil.

She got kicked off her show, that's at least semi-canceled. I don't give a shit, by the way, good riddance.

It's mostly just another case of a boomer/gen-x comedian feeling aggrieved that they can't say whatever they want without consequences.

Again, she tweeted out a blatantly racist attack against a black woman. She wasn't cancelled, she was fired by ABC. This is not a new phenomenon of "woke" culture. This is how business works, especially with hugely public figures.

Getting canceled doesn’t mean it’s forever. Five years is a long-ass time to not be able to work. If that’s not punishment, I don’t know what is. A lot of you seem to think cancellation is a one-and-done. It’s not, as long as you’re living. Anyone can change.

Person who gets paid millions just to talk says something that makes people not hear what she wants to say. "Cancelled" This discussion comes up as we discuss her new comedy special being advertised during the NFL championship game. Because cancel culture isn't just one and done.

I mean, I guess I got cancelled at birth! I'm still waiting for someone to give me 26 Million to do a Netflix special where I insult trans people. I mean, 50 years is a long-ass time to not have a Netflix special. How dare they deprive me of my livelihood like this!!!! Just the woke mob run amok I tells ya.

They also preach about how the free market should decide things without government influence, but whenever a company decides to do something because of the free market that they don't like they complain about it. They want companies to have unlimited "free speech" for things they agree with, but don't think companies who disagree with them deserve the same. In the case of social media companies Republicans actually want the government to step in and force these companies to allow theirs bigotry and lies. They want to do that all while making social media companies responsible for what their users post.

Do you think being cancelled means getting thrown into a gulag and never being heard from again?

She was killed off from a sitcom she brought back, named after her, and she had to give up any future earnings from it so that other people could keep their jobs.

edit: forgot this board is very pro-cancel culture and likes to pretend it doesn't exist

Yes that is what being canceled should mean. Never being heard from again. If you want to use it to replace terms like fired, terminated, let go, or whatever job dismissal term that's on you. It's just become a term that means some rich person had consequences to their actions like when a normal person gets fired.

No one thinks that's what being cancelled means. That just seems like some draconian definition so you can say no one has been cancelled.

Then just say they were fucking fired. Tom wasn't canceled by McDonald's for making derogatory comments. He was fired. Larry wasn't canceled from his accounting job for having sex with his subordinate, he was fired. Why do rich people get canceled and poor people get fired? Roseanne was FIRED from her job for being a racist, she wasn't canceled.

They were fired because they were cancelled. What about that are you not getting?

She was fired because she got the outraged mob after her.

So we just created the term canceled so people can blame others for the repercussions of their actions. Got it.

No, we created it as a term for when a witch hunting mob arises and does whatever they can to ruin someone's career/life because they said something you didn't agree with.

>"ITS NOT MY FAULT THE CUSTOMERS DONT LIKE TO BE CALLED CUNTS. FUCKING SNOWFLAKES GETTING ME CANCELED."

You're being very disingenuous. Calling customers cunts to their faces is a fire-able offense. Telling a joke to your own circle on your own private time is not. Unless frothing lunatics catches wind of it.

Funny. When religious groups used to successfully boycott things they found sacrilegious or amoral, I don’t remember the word cancelled ever being used.

Same thing with The Red Scare. That’s how a country that supposedly has separation of church and state has “In God we trust” as our official national motto.

This has been a huge problem when watching the NFL on Fox the past few years.

Fox has been using the NFL to advertise their crappy online service Fox Nation, if you watch football, you get a bunch of adverts for Tucker and Kilmeade.

It's gross, but not unexpected from right wing hypocrites who tell athletes to stick to sports while only criticizing LeBron and Serena.

Fox News could face a drop in carriage fees over the next few years as contracts end and fewer people subscribe to cable. It's creating a new group of future insurrectionists

I'm not a fan of Roseanne so I don't watch her.. It's that simple.

Not sure you understand "rights".

In the United States, one can say whatever the fuck they want. And can "demand" that Roseanne's gross ass doesn't show up on TV again. Doesn't mean she won't and that folks saying so will prevent it.

Granted, since her comedy special is only airing on Fox Nation's streaming service it seems the people are being heard.

In the 90s, having a gay character on your show could get you canceled.

Now using the F word can get your show cancelled.

>I think it is funny that these "offensive" comedians (Burr, Barr, Chappelle) turned into whiny bitches at the smallest sign of rocky waters...

I wonder why comedians are upset that people are trying to have their careers derailed by lunatics who can't stand free speech. What a conundrum.

There are even some morons who are trying to change the definition of freedom of speech do that it only applies to the government. All they do is show their own ignorance and lack if intelligence as they've clearly never heard of Salman Rushdie.

Insane to think how Reddit used to be pro-free speech and anti-censorship.

>meanwhile Winkler was laughed at by the JumpTheShark fad for fucking years and years, he just shrugged that shit off and made great comedy.

What even is this comparison? How is that comparable all?

Chapelle like many people who talk about cancel culture alot have not in fact ever been canceled. a portion of the population got offended, which happens all the time, it used to be religious groups.

now they use, im getting cancelled, line as form of advertising. its a way to draw in some of their fanbase. its very tried and true tactic.

and it works.
