Not to be unkind, but the guy is no beauty. A feminist commented that the women on the stage were so cowed that they clapped like trained seals. Conclusion, true. Women should refuse to participate in travesties like this.
“I’m so thrilled to win this incredible award,” Rikkie Valerie Kollé, totally a woman, told reporters. “I can’t wait to win more pageants! I’m just rearing to go, champing at the bit, trying to bridle my excitement, saddling up, ready to hit the trail!”
I am not exactly sure what eventBrite does, but they certainly are leftist and bigoted.
Ms. Lukas said the “assault on women — on female prisoners, athletes, sexual assault victims — is what is hateful.”
“Eventbrite’s actions and lack of response is the epitome of cancel culture, and showcases bigotry and hatred towards women,” she said. “Independent Women’s Network is dedicated to standing up for women’s rights and for free speech across the board. This censorship must end.”
Here is the independent women’s network website. I could not find a place to donate to them.
Edit. See my post on the anti-woke thread about Eventbrite stock EB.
Is it just me, or are these reactions “against hateful content” starting to look an awful lot like a SNL sketch?
I’m also picturing the old Abbott and Costello Who’s on First skit, except replacing baseball with this crap:
Who’s a bigot
What?
No, What is homophobic, who is the bigot
I dont know
I Dont Know is trans, he’s ok.
I heard Ok was a facist?
Where is the facist. Who is Ok?
Who isnt ok, you said he’s a bigot.
She has moved too far right for the leftists in the entertainment industry. Recall that her 2018 show was canceled by ABC even though it was a ratings success because of some tweet she made. She seems to be a Trump supporter and he congratulated her on her show. That probably contributed to the cancellation.
This is all just window dressing, but interesting that the woke companies have to make this show. BTW as you read the language used in the article, recall that the front pages of the WSJ lean left. It is the editorial page that is conservative.
Two years ago chief diversity officers were some of the hottest hires into executive ranks. Now, they increasingly feel left out in the cold.
Companies including Netflix, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have recently said that high-profile diversity, equity and inclusion executives will be leaving their jobs. Thousands of diversity-focused workers have been laid off since last year, and some companies are scaling back racial justice commitments.
CMT is unlikely to be as defiant as Disney. While many families objected to Disney’s social agenda, the size of the corporation is so large and it is sufficiently diversified that it can take a market hit that would crush most other companies. CMT is neither diversified nor insulated to the same extent. It is closer to Bud Light. It sells country music, and consumers can find other outlets for their tastes.
CMT faces boycott calls after pulling controversial Jason Aldean song
Deservedly. They yielded to nonsense, with no critical thought involved. Regardless of what their viewers/listeners thought, common sense should have told them to call out wannabe victims.
Stark told Insider that even if Aldean did not intend the racist undertones, the video and song still include “coded language used to stereotype people of color.”
"On the surface level, most people would no say racism is present because it mentions nothing about race specifically, and I’m here to educate people
And there’s the real issue. How arrogant must you be to think you are more capable of “educating” people about a song’s meaning than the person who wrote the damn song?
But that’s par for the course; these numbnuts like this Stark idiot know they’d be relegated to the fringe, railing against invisible non-existent enemies, if they just listened to what other people say instead of telling those people what they’re “really” saying.
And don’t get me started about these so-called “journalists” who somehow think such people are legit, quotable resources.
When you’re in the victimhood business, either selling or buying, everything is racist accept Benjamin’s and higher denominations. With The Big Guy’s inflation inflation policies, Benjamin’s will soon be replaced with Clevelands as the lowest acceptable non-racist greenback.
Academic researchers reacted with horror when college students submitted irreverent responses to the researchers’ LGBT survey.
Academics from Oregon State University wrote they were shocked to receive sarcastic and offensive responses to a survey as part of their research into undergraduate LGBT students in STEM fields.
Out of 349 total survey responses, 50 — or about 15% — were from “malicious respondents” and contained “slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team,” the researchers said.
One “malicious” responder said his gender was “aerosol,” his race was “Afro/Klingon-Asiatic Galapogayation,” and his disability was “being 2.86% white.”
Another said his gender was “airplane,” his race was “Native American (Elizabeth Warren),” and his disability was “transgenderism.”
Edit. According to Fox News.
The research team declared that the mockery they received “had a profound impact on morale and mental health,” particularly for one transgender researcher who was “already in therapy for anxiety and depression regarding online anti-trans rhetoric.” The paper claimed that “managing the study’s data collection caused significant personal distress, and time had to be taken off the project to heal from traumatic harm” of having to read students’ responses in the survey.
Oh, I hope they got it semi-right. Although it was only 15%, it gives us hope that the you youth aren’t completely mind-numbed, big media perverted drones. That only leaves 85% to be freed from liberal slavery.
So the takeaway here is that researchers do not understand the definition of “malicious”?
And the takeaway here is that people doing such research go into it expecting certain results. When they are not only denouncing the data being collected, but also considering it “traumatic” to the point of needing time off for therapy, how can the results and conclusions possibly be considered objective?
Hopefully one day such people will wake up and accept such results not as an attack, but as the reality check it is. The first step is to stop pointing fingers and admitting it is you that has the problem.
More crap about telling others what they mean, instead of listening and learning what they meant. And of course the network news edits the interview to maintain the “correct” narrative.
I don’t know what happened to Chris Wallace. Maybe it was Roger who kept him in check, or maybe something else happened, but on the few occasions I saw him at FoxNews, he seemed pretty even handed.
Wallace has been on my s-list ever since his performance at the 2020 Trump Biden debate. IMO he has always been on the left but faked it when he was at Fox.
Accounts for businesses owned by well-known COVID-19 vaccine sceptic Dr. Joseph Mercola are being closed by JPMorgan Chase.
According to notices examined by The Epoch Times, the principal accounts for a number of Mercola-owned companies, including Mercola Market, are being closed down in August.
The letters state that financial institutions “have a duty to know our customers and monitor transactions that flow through our customers’ accounts.” We chose to cancel your account after giving it some thought due to unusual activities on these or another Chase account.
Also being closed are the accounts for Mercola, CEO Steven Rye, Mr Rye’s wife, CFO Amalia Legaspi, Mr Legaspi, and Mr Legaspi’s son.
Anheuser Busch plans to lay off hundreds of corporate employees, a company spokesperson told ABC News on Thursday.
The layoffs come months after a product endorsement from Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, in April set off a consumer boycott among conservatives that hammered sales.
The layoffs will affect workers “across every corporate function” but will not impact frontline workers, such as warehouse staff, drivers and salespeople, the company spokesperson saic
