NYT – Roseanne cancelled after racist tweet


Quote:
“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC’s entertainment president, Channing Dungey, said in a statement.

Kind of an odd thing to tweet by Rossanne. On the other hand, she is a comedian and comedians are meant to push the boundaries, but she didn't even put any effort in the delivery and the average person wouldn't even know what "vj" was referring to. I almost get the feeling that she was purposely trolling in order to get a reaction.

It sucks the show is cancelled. It was kind of nice seeing all of those familiar faces back on the screen again. The Dan Connor character is classic. John Goodmans the best.

So Roseanne isn't cool anymore with the liberals any more? She was one of the most vocal feminists during a time where it was very controversial to be one.

I feel like they wanted to pull the show before the racist tweet anyway

being associated with "and I'm sure some of them are good people" Trump is so unpopular at this point

even those that most benefit from him, that being big buiz, don't want any association

I'm actually thinking there was a lot of political motivation behind the move too.

To Roseannes credit, she apologized profusely and sincerely.

Bill Maher was raging against this. This idea that if someone messes up that they just have to disappear and never come back. Nobody is willing to give 2nd chances anymore. Humans are an imperfect species, we sometimes say dumb shit that we regret.

Don't get me wrong, that was an ugly tweet from Roseanne that she should have known better than tweeting.

There's a more malicious undercurrent of the elite aside from the big corporations. I don't wanna go on a tangent though. I'll say that I think the United States needed an outsider to shake things up, and Trumps doing the best he can.

No one thought we'd see peace with North Korea so soon, but Trumps played that card perfectly. If you look at Trumps approval numbers, they've been on a steady uptick. There's a lot to like.

secretary of the treasury Steve Mnuchin

worked for Goldman Sachs for 17 years

why just enact legislation favorable to the financial sector when you can just have the financial sector write your policy

I think ABC saw an opportunity to possibly cash in on several different variables here and took the chance. Roseanne's mission was to sell a sympathetic view of Trump people to regular Americans and to show everyone they aren't all insane racists. But of course they are all insane racists, so she was not able to stop herself from calling a black person an ape

Breaking News: Redhats unable to grasp the difference between ABC's censorship and the NFL's.

Edit: Fuck Roseanne. I'm ashamed to have loved the original series growing up but knew I would never watch an episode of the new season before it even came out due to her support of don.

Did you honestly actually watch the revival or are you just siding with her because Trump? The show was actually (mostly) very un-MAGA. I'd be surprised if you enjoyed the heartwarming episode about the gender-fluid child, for example.

How many second chances does one get though? This isn't the first hateful bullshit batshit crazy thing she's posted to Twitter since the show came back.

I really enjoyed the revival and think the critics got it wrong or just didn't give it an honest look because of the Roseanne/Trump connection. As a big fan of the original run, I can admit I was compartmentalizing Roseanne's bullshit so I could keep enjoying the thing I like guilt-free. Really though, good riddance. Shitty behavior like this need not be rewarded, not when you have a president who is doing everything he can to debase the nation on a daily basis.

I watched the first 2 episodes. Was gonna catch up later. I sorta felt like they added the kid in there to touch upon some hot-topic issues.
