Most, if not all actors use “Loan-Out Corporations” for their contracts. The actor performs the work under the auspices of the Loan-Out Corporation and the corporation gets paid directly from the studio.

The studio doesn’t have an HR nightmare for dropping a contract due to a morality clause

Last I checked, actors are considered Independent Contractors to movie studios. Which is why they don’t have health care or other benefits provided to Employees.

As Independent Contractors, those contracts can be terminated by either side, without cause, and sometimes with a hefty penalty.

Also as an Independent…

Tack on that Q cult and the stolen Election cult bullshit are blatantly anti-semitic with their “Muh Soros-led deepstate!”.

Is “I’m hispanic and grew up in Venezuela” the new “I’m a gay black Trump supporter?” 

This may shock you, but people can care about the pandemic AND bigotry. We are a fascinating species that way, what with our ability to care about more than one thing at a time. It’s almost like magic.

You yourself are conflating two things there, though, which is an entirely theoretical and quite malleable concept from the Enlightenment, a time when a lot of really unformed, untested, not-ready-for-the-real-world concepts appeared, and what people mean when they say “the right to free speech”, which is absolutely…

What she said wasn’t benign and it wasn’t an isolated incident. She’s been a problem for Disney AT LEAST since they kicked her off of the show she was planned to star in. It’s a pattern. Patterns of behavior get stronger punishment because they evidence likelihood of repetition. This is just as true in our court of…

Imagine a world where you can disagree with someone and then go your separate ways. No name calling, no labels, just basic respect for each other.

Joe Rogan’s podcast sure isn’t helping things. He’s the MMA thought leader.

I’ve always thought of conspiracy theories as a way for stupid people to feel smarter than everyone else.  This whole Qanon thing takes it to a new level.

Please enlighten me so I am not up searching for bad things Pedro Pascal has said... What has he been saying that is so bad?

No one censored her.

Not mine

Yeah buh buh but FIRST AMENDMENT. She’s just speaking for the oppressed minority that is rich and famous white women, duh! And Republicans! She’s using her platform to take a stand!!

I feel like almost all of these mma-types are like this if they have much of a public persona. Seems there might be some connection between being getting concussed for a living and being a far-right whack job.

Did she get ARRESTED for her speech?

This. She wasn’t fired for “having different opinions.” She was fired (or, perhaps more accurately, not given any new work —- it’s not for sure she had employment officially lined up) because she is actively spouting racist, bigoted, conspiracy theorist-driven, actually dangerous shit. But we know how that’s going to…

Shhhh just enjoy the classic Simpsons reference at face value. Uh, I mean, *these aren’t the droids you’re looking for*.

Bullshit. “Cancel culture” is an imaginary victim complex that conservatives made up in an attempt to avoid that ‘c’ word that they fear above all others...

I would LOVE to see Mahershala Ali as Joel, if for no other reason than to see all the gamers lose their shit at a black man playing a role where Joel’s whiteness had nothing to do with who he was.

She’s so fucking stupid and that bothers me. The racism also bothers me, but I expect that out of Trumpublicans by default.
