“Disney’s trying to control my speech! So now I’m going to try to use lawsuits to legally force them to write Mandalorian scripts that include my character!”

whut?

In case you’re wondering why she’s suing now:

See, that’s why entertainment journalists suck in general. This is a vital distinction, yet every headline after she was let go used the term “fired”. The quote Lucasfilm released at that time even suggest that there wasn’t even plan to bring her back even before her comments.

If Elon Musk was really funding this lawsuit in the name of free speech (and I know, we all know he’s not, just humor me for a second), pick a random fucking nobody who was let go because of what they wrote on Twitter, not an entertainer who presumably had a fanbase before she even launched her acting career that she…

That dummy completely squandered having a whole show dedicated to her terrible acting just to score cheap likes from terminally online culture warriors.

so they were very much within their rights. shit that’d be a valuable fact to include in the article.

New rule: if you don't understand that the first amendment, you have to repeat 8th grade.

She wasn’t fired, though. Her contract was up & they didn’t renew it.

oh shit i wouldn’t fuck around with *disney* lawyers. i’m sure they made sure they were legally cleared when they fired her in the first place.

shhh i wanna see him have to hire back those twitter employees he fired for criticizing him

I look forward to these people someday realizing that freedom of speech does not actually mean freedom from consequence when you’re talking about a private corporation/entity/employer. Yes, Gina and Elon, you can say whatever the hell you want. But you can still face the repercussions. 

Huntsman’s don’t hide under toilet seats. They prefer places that simulate their natural habitat of loose bark hanging from eucalypts, like paintings, clocks, and - a favourite of theirs - your car’s sun visor so when you fold it down doing a hundred on the highway they drop into your lap and you slam your car into…

You know between these chucklefucks , and the occasional huntsman hiding under a toilet seat , Australia may not be the total paradise I once thought it was.

Kyle & Jackie O work for ARN, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, as is the Daily Bellowgraph, which is where Variety got the story from (and likely repeated in all Murdoch rags like the Herald Scum in Melbourne).

But wasn’t Jesus the original bro?

I reckon we could get bungers decriminalised again if we lobbied by say we were going to shove them up their arses.

Don’t worry, it’s not religious, just really testosterone-heavy, based on my quick internet search about it.

I’ve been waiting for the government to officially declare Kyle and Jackie O invasive species and then we can start taking them out with golf clubs like cane toads.

Worst part of this whole incident is that the rest of the world will learn who Kyle and Jackie O are.

Y’know what was better? Back when tabloid griftfucks were, like, a weird part of the entertainment sphere. A semi-large but containable pool of scum-sucking remora who knew they were scum-sucking remora, and who could be ignored as exactly that. Some folks would suck that shit up through a straw, the rest of us would…
