So CEOs of companies have special, free-speechier rights to free speech that cancels out the rest of us? CEOs get to say whatever dumb shit they like and everybody else needs to STFU and keep on spending, because gosh wouldn’t it be a shame if the poor sods in the mailroom get fired because you took your business…

Yep. If the opposite were the case I would think the company was shitty and the people putting pressure on him were shitty, but only for having the abhorrent opinions.
Yes, you are correct sir, a bad tweet is exactly the same thing as a unwanted pregnancy. Well done, you’ve outwitted us all. The logic of your argument is unassailable.
If you have any at all. And I think that’s going to be the real question going forward here. Many people on the White Right do not believe in the humanity of anyone but White Straight Cis-Gender Male Christian Landowners.
Yes, but if you are a CEO who thinks Stasi snitch laws are good and have a boner for oppressing women, maybe you should be smart enough to realize publicly expressing those opinions will financially hurt your company and keep that shit on the DL.
Bodily autonomy is a basic human right, yes.
I understand the concern, and once held it myself, but I think the difference in my opinion now comes from the fact that, at least in America, conservatives have already become an authoritarian power with a discriminatory stance, and are pushing their supporters to follow. It’s not a ‘what if’ scenario. They’ve…
There are some people among us who believe DGibson lacks the intelligence and critical thinking skills to be able to function, and it would be fine if he were dragged into the street and shot for being such an absolute piece of shit. I do not subscribe to this, but I know some feel that if a person displays as much…
So, first of all, that’s a thing a lot of people do with shitty beliefs they don’t want to admit they hold...give voice to it but then tepidly disclaim it. “Some people think this....I don’t necessarily agree..” It’s very often a cowardly way of voicing the author’s true opinions (see J.K. Rowling’s initial toe…
Actually, a lot of anti-vaxxers adopt exactly the rhetoric she has adopted with regards to vaccines. They emphasize the personal nature of the choice (as if there are no public health consequences to deciding not to vaccinate a child who could be vaccinated against highly infectious diseases, and also as if a parent’s…
Except, neither me nor the other poster have a massive platform and countless idiots who believe the things we say. Nor are we couching our opinions in “I have a PhD, so listen to me!” I’m also not selling shit (she literally sells brain gummies), I’m just expressing my opinion. Swing anda miss, bud.
The gullible aunt…
Person with bad takes on a lot of topics gets fairly criticized for it. Why do you weirdos have to pretend she’s some sort of martyr because her publicly held views are being considered when talking about her? No one had to dig for this shit, she’s been spewing it for years.
If you use your large public platform to…
She doesn’t just believe the bullshit, she actively sells it to even more gullible idiots. That’s what makes her a bad person (well, that and the rest of her bad beliefs).
Having a bad B.S. detector doesn’t make someone a bad person.
Yeah, what’s pissing me off with these comments is that dozens of people here are acting like “Oh, it’s shocking, mean lefties and journalists dug this up and are being mean to her for it!”, when like, for fuck’s sake, anyone who knows anything at all about Bialik knows she’s a new-age nutcase anti-vaxer. They think…
That’s not a reasonable viewpoint when the person is being presented as a role-model, and in this case, they are.
There are many people for whom that’d be a reasonable response.
No, it isn’t.
It’s odd that this is all coming up again because I remember when she was on the list to guest host and my thought was “isn’t she a crazy earth mother idiot who’s anti vax”. Turns out she’s worse.
