Gina got fired because she was pointing out that she was getting rape and death threats over not putting pro nouns in her bio. All that all twitter did was delete them. Carr made remarks, but he had no power to do anything. Thats why there is no legal document or order. Because it would be illegal. So the drawing of a conclusion here would be an error. There was no “threat”. It would be like me threating you to stop posting here. I have no power to force that to happen. I can say it as much as I want, but who be right to just point and laugh at me.

In any case, it doesnt matter. Its all the same shit with the same arguments, and same “well actually, this is different because…”. Gina was right to draw attention to her online attacks, and disney was right to be want to be associated with the way that she went about it, as I think we can all agree it was dumb as fuck to use Jewish people in the analogy. In any analogy in fact.

In the case of Kimmel, hes just not funny. And I wouldnt be surprised if this just all turned out to be just a way to get out of the late night talkshow game by ABC, without breaking any contracts.
