Like that lady who tried to scoot off that black girl selling water. If I was sitting in my apartment with the window open and heard her selling water all ****ing day I’d be hella sick of it too. I wouldnt call 5-0 though

IDGAF about Rosanne but I agree with the Louis CK part. That's mostly on the corporation. If the business said "**** that, we'll do it anyway." what would anybody do about it? Mel Gibson has said and done worse and has never been canceled.

Even then, if either you or me did anything any of them did we're more likely to be fired. This is still not exclusive to the left. The right do it all the time like with Nick Cannon.

IDK how Orwellian it is to film your interactions with people to expose something nefarious especially when repercussions are more than likely minimal. Well, when you see the government using video to arrest protesters that's pretty Orwellian.

I bet you that NOBODY is going to cancel their Netflix subscription over the Cuties controversy and they very well could.

You can find most of their **** pirated very easily.

Yeah - filming everything and punishing people for transgressions isn’t Orwellian at all.

Kinda different when the people do it and Orwell didn't catch the entertainment factor of it iirc. It's adjacent. Everything he said about language and manipulation is depressingly true though.

The way you police the word "Orwellian" is Orwellian. Come on man!

I get that. I’m gonna be defensive if my understanding of Orwell is questioned. My politics? Not so much.

@Nea

No, it's actually kind of the opposite of Orwellian to rid the vagueness of the term.
