A “South Park” episode was taken off air, a DC comic series was canceled, and several artists were fired in the aftermath of the shooting.

    Free speech is when you’re allowed to openly coordinate the extermination of people you don’t like but then when someone says that’s bad they get deported or fired

    Truly, the first shooting in American history worth outrage from the gun nuts. Kids? Fine. Nazi asshole is apparently where we draw the line and turn him into an innocent victim. It’s nauseating.

    But his political views were frequently inflammatory, racist, and transphobic, and he had many critics …

    It’s only September, but I nominate this for understatement of the year.

    Corporate America doesn’t share progressive values and never has. They rainbow washed themselves and tried to project an image of inclusivity and diversity for decades, but it was never who they were or what they wanted. Art isn’t and never has been safe with titans of profit as its masters. Why is “Artist” and “Creative” such a disadvantaged, competitive and marginalized profession when art is ALSO the most powerful weapon that can be wielded against authoritarianism?
