At first I was like, "that makes sense, consequences for being a douchebag and all." But then I realized we live in an age where Trump is still a legitimate candidate despite his trolling, so she will probably get picked up for some 'comedy' tour and make a bunch of money.

Malcador Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 “[‘Dear Fat People’] is an unfunny and cruel fat-shaming video that guises itself about being about ‘health’,” Mills says of the clip. “It’s fat phobic and awful. It went on for over for six minutes. I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I was so upset I was shaking like Shelley DuVall in the ‘The Shining’.” That made me laugh in how melodramatic it was. Wonder if these people really shake with outrage, they should probably see a doctor about that if so. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

So she's getting fired from an unrelated job because she made a vid that made fun of an issue that is increasingly becoming a modern day taboo. This is total bull****. We don't solve problems by stymying discussion about them, and comedians are going to step on people's toes as a matter of course. Poor taste is a tool of the trade. I stand by what I said before, she's not funny. But she certainly doesn't deserve sacking over this.

But really, most jobs requires you to present a certain amount of decorum. It should not be a surprise that she has closed some doors with this bit. As I said, she will probably get a few offers out of it as well. Such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you obligated to make irrelevant comments? Sure, the dude who feels punched in the gut ($20 says he hasn't actually ever taken a gut punch) can hire whomever he pleases. Still, firing her over the video is... silly. And what does it accomplish, exactly? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Volourn Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) He is allowed to do it. It doesn't change that he is a piece of crap. Whining about his 'feels' shows quite clearly that he is a nazi. He bullies, attacks, shames, threatens, and attempts to destroy someone's livelihood. Hitler would be proud of him.

That's actually not so far fetched... I actually questioned if he ever really planned on hiring her in the first place. He is making a dance movie, does she have some sort of credentials to help out on that? Maybe she does. Honestly I don't really care, it's a pretty silly story all around. But teh nazis!

Volourn Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 "He is making a dance movie, does she have some sort of credentials to help out on that?" \ read the article. That's the issue with SJWs. they go by feels not facts. If you read the article you would know the answer to your question. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
