The P.C. guillotine is now ready for Sarah Silverman...she who was an accuser, now is the accused..

[2aguy]

It is really funny and kinda satisfying to see leftism and how it always ends...... like their French revolutionary cousins, they march around and name people for the guillotine, and then one day, they are named...... and are made shorter by a head...

Today, it is Sarah Silverman taking the walk up the steps...

Silverman Turns on PC Culture After It Comes for Her

So it seemed logical the Queen of Not So Nice Jokes would decry the creeping terror that is PC groupthink. If squeaky-clean Jerry Seinfeld took a stand against it, surely Silverman would do the same. As a comedian, the "new" rules clearly mean less freedom for her fellow stand-ups.

See that joke? It's now off limits. Have a nice day!

Only, Silverman appeared comfortable with the current state of affairs as recently as two years ago. Here's the Hulu talker sharing her views on millennials enacting PC rules with Vanity Fair in 2016: “I think it’s a sign of being old if you’re put off by that … you have to listen to the college-aged because they lead the revolution.”

She even told The Hollywood Reporter she regretted an episode of her short-lived Comedy Central show "The Sarah Silverman Program." The show in question found her donning blackface while a black co-star dressed up like a stereotypical Jewish man to see whether blacks or Jews suffered more in our society.

Try to control others with PC, choke on it too. Tough shit.

The right has always hated Silverman, and are reporting about her negatively the same as usual. Meanwhile back in reality, nobody cares.

 

[Unkotare]

She was always just a somewhat less ugly Kathy Griffin. All mouth, no talent.

 

[dave p]

She didn’t have talent and was never funny.

So if you actually read the story, you just find that she thinks that Disney went too far with James Gunn... which it did.

Not what DickTiny is portrayting it as.

This wasn’t a case of legitimate outrage, though. This was a targeted campaign by a political troll and bad actor who was simply looking to collect the scalp of a prominent liberal, and firing James Gunn will just make him try harder. Mike Cernovich, a man who was accused of rape in 2003 and was convicted of the reduced charge of misdemeanor battery, who later tweeted that date rape doesn’t exist, who endorsed the white supremacist belief that “diversity is code for white genocide,” who did as much to spread the vicious lies of Pizzagate as anybody else (lies that lead to real world violence as a Pizzagate believer shot up the restaurant at the center of the conspiracy), who often accuses those who anger or oppose him of pedophilia, has regularly proven that the facts and any concept of basic human decency will not stop him from spreading hate and lies to get attention. Anything that elevates his profile, no matter how much extra attention it brings to his criminal history and long list of disgusting public statements, is a victory for Cernovich, and Disney gave him one of his biggest boosts yet by firing Gunn. And now he’s using that enhanced profile to try and silence other comedians who criticize Donald Trump and the far right.

He's a douche. That's all. I'm not a Silverman fan by any means.

I don't know who he is. But I think the rules are that if you're offended, you win.

Meh, you guys are the ones who get hung up about sex. The guy made some dirty jokes. I've heard dirtier jokes in Catholic High school back in the 1970's... just can't get that worked up about it.

All that said, Disney is a private corporation, and they have every right to hire and fire who they want.
