There were a lot of problems with The Nightly Show. Larry wasn't any of them. They built a poor show around him and his ambitions.

I'm not saying a director is completely removed from liability, but the position is not directly responsible for accidents on set unless it can be proven the director personally contributed to an unsafe workplace. If the director has hired professional stunt supervisors and safety crew and is following their…
You can't compare cases against other cases because the specifics are unknown.
There is a furry fetish, but that's not what the community is built around or focuses on. I wish desperately there were a different word for the two, but sadly that's not the case at the moment. Clashing personal experiences against one another will ultimately accomplish nothing, but I am certain there are people in…
Exactly. And as a furry, this stuff sickens me too. This type of behavior is a betrayal of what the community represents: inclusion. Just like the many ways 'Freedom of Speech' is often misused as 'Freedom to Say Terrible Things Without Repercussion,' accepting all people does not mean you're allowed to do anything…
It's more likely this is just the worst elements of the community getting together and abusing their privileges. I've been to multiple conventions and while all the ones I have been to are family friendly, every furry knows tangentially at least one of THOSE types that seem to exist in the community just to indulge in…
You know, if we took away marriage rights from religious conservatives, they wouldn't be able to reproduce anymore since that's a sin against god.
Yeah, maybe Vice President Mike Pence doesn't want to encourage a meme photoshopping him touching things he shouldn't…
Right, it has happened on stage before though. I would love for it to happen, but I don't see how this particular complaint actually accomplishes that. Instead of restricting what an actor can and can not play, why don't we just seek to increase diversity among the profession? It accomplishes the same goal.
To properly address this, we must ask how many blind actors were trying to get that part, or trying in general to break into the industry. I would not be surprised to learn there are many, but I don't know. Similarly to the lack of diversity in other industries, the question must be asked if the institution has…
*sighs* So it's going to be one of these conversations. So Marlee Matlin is a good example of a person with a disability that still has a successful acting career. It is difficult and I agree the institution of support isn't there for people with disabilities (because making special accommodations requires spending…
That may be the case, but there's no evidence that that is the case here. I would also argue that is completely contrary to the point here. Following the logic of Jay Ruderman, disabled actors can only perform disabled parts. That's missing the point of acting entirely. A talented blind person can play a person with…
Acting isn't about authenticity, it's about portraying the part as effectively and efficiently as possible. It's inherently about lying competently to get a job done. If an actor can believably do the part, then they do the part. Unless there is evidence of Baldwin actually taking work from a competing blind actor…
Punk proudly represents the right to offend. And those that see said expression have the right to be offended. Holding up a protest sign at a concert is pretty punk, if you ask me: Anti-establishment, making your voice heard, defying elders, etc. I think both sides here are justified in doing whatever the fuck they…
Yeah, those sales figures are about as accurate as Trump's election result claims.
The eternal question…
A bodyslam is a little less severe than a gunshot. The rhetoric on the left has been exceptionally aggressive following Trump's election. There's a reason to be concerned about violence against the right in response.
It's a joke. It's fake theater (it was a gif from a wrestling match!). The 'violence against journalism' angle being spun off this incident is fraudulent and turns what should be a shocking display of poor character into yet another wannabe social outrage story. The president tweeted an immature meme. That should be…
Because he hasn't done anything to trigger it. That's his MO. He doesn't actually do anything. He just promotes himself, shit-talks, lies, and the watches TV. In a better world would that be grounds to remove a President? Yes. In our world that's what got him elected. You can't kick him out when he's doing what people…
I believe you're wrong. In fact, I'm happy to say that I all but know you are. But ultimately I suppose it doesn't matter. We agree on 99% of policy, I'm sure, so I wish you luck and happiness. I'll gladly be by your side, and I only ask that when the time comes perhaps you think twice about declaring a fellow…
