You shouldn’t be friends with a pedophile. Sorry that you need to be told this by a stranger on the internet. Comparing willing friendship and support to a constitutionally required defense attorney is willfully obtuse and proves you have no argument.

lol letters of support are not protected or included in any sort of laws or rules about our courts. they are emotional appeals, that’s all. A lawyer is just doing their job. A person writing letters on behalf of a diddler is a choice they made. 

Personally, if I had a friend who was known to have, or accused to have diddled kids, I would not remain friends with that person, nor would I write a letter defending them. But I’m weird like that.  

“even those who have done horrific crimes.”
um, no, that’s a very meaningful difference..

Tucker is the Nazi Forrest Gump.

I recently saw a cartoon, maybe from the New Yorker, or at least in that style, that had literally the only funny pronouns joke I’ve ever seen. It featured a bunch of stereotypical looking mobster types introducing two new toughs with the words, “These guys were sent up here by the Chicago outfit. Their pronouns are…

The premise of this Amy Poehler & Grogo Show intrigues me

Like, how hard is it to just not say transphobic things at your workplace? When your whole job is speaking words other people write for you... maybe you don’t need to say anything else? How does it even come up on the set of the Mandalorian?

It was also a straw that broke the camel’s back situation.

Carano is currently suing Disney for wrongful termination and discrimination. Does she have a case? Who knows. The mysteries of the law are beautiful and strange.

Rumors at the time were that she was saying transphobic things on set, around Pedro, and even after he tried to educate her she just doubled down.

There were also rumors that she was saying transphobic things around Pedro (whose sister is trans). She was warned by her agent and Disney multiple times to stop tweeting and saying stupid shit. She was given three chances to change, and she decided that standing up for her right to be an ignorant moron was more…

She could have had it all. Unlimited Disney dollars, her own spin off show, merchandise, long lines at Cons, bigger and bigger roles. Instead she threw it away for a handful of shitty right wing movies nobody saw and a few pitiful Cons

Hell, it’s even simpler than that! Her employer reportedly told her to cut the shit - multiple times - and she decided that preferred pronouns and “this was just like the Nazis” were hills to die on.

I love that her lawsuit stipulates that Disney has to hire her back and write her back into the show. Good luck with that lady.

It must have been such hell being unable to defend his sister because she wasn’t ready to come out publicly.

It’s honestly like something out of The Twilight Zone, where she was so certain the extreme right wing fans would have her back that she could say all this stuff and still have a comfortable career, but then finds out they’ll never accept a big strong woman in their movies because it’s “woke.”

“I’m not a far right loon!” screams the woman who now makes movies with Ben fucking Shapiro.

Yeah I remember that being really the biggest part of all of it. She was super anti-trans and I think Pascal even tried to talk her rationally about it at first, but after repeatedly going down that hole, he definitely went to the Disney powers and said to tell her to get the fuck out

Which isn’t even getting to the biggest part yet: the actual star of the show she appeared in has become a superstar over the course of it, famously has a trans sister whom he truly loves and supports in every way, and presumably told their bosses: “shut her up or get her the fuck off my show.”  And, not being idiots,…
