She had been on conspiracy rants long before she was fired and even before the show was revived, and it took her calling a black woman a monkey for any sort of blowback on the actual show. https://time.com/5294402/roseanne-cancelled-abc-racist-conspiracy-theory/ And no, it didn't start with Trump. It's only recently people have been facing even a general sense of consequences for their behavior, but criticism of people making sexist, homophobic, and racist statements or actions is not by any means a new thing.

It's truly no wonder why Todd Phillips appeals to someone like you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderByte Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) I guess I can see why Phillips likes Joker so much. An unfunny white guy mad at society must come closer from the vest than he's willing to let on. Edited October 1, 2019 by SpiderByte 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
