re: Pedro Pascal Calls Kyle Rittenhouse a murderer

But when someone is not content to have a discussion and walk away saying, "Well, agree to disagree. You want a beer?" then we have a problem. We seem to be past the point of politely disagreeing on basic topics, and guys like Pascal who see everything in black and white terms are perfect examples of that. If you don't agree with him, you're a NAZI, white supremacist, racist, bigot, one of the many "phobes", etc.

It's not that it's just that, or that Pascal believes this way alone.

This is the movement. His ilk are so hellbent on change that they all believe and parrot this. They mobilize twitter armies to dox and intimidate. It's all part of the same system.

People are free to do as they please. If you agree with Pascal and like his work, then by all means continue to support his work. That tracks. If you disagree with him and you're fully aware of what he thinks of people who hold your beliefs and you STILL pay him because you like his work which enables him to continue to have a platform from which to hate you even harder, then I question your character or at least how dearly you hold those original beliefs you think he disagrees with. That does not track for me at all.

I'm speaking in general, obviously not about you here.

Exactly.

I have drastically trimmed back my support of Disney properties. haven't purchased Disney plus. Only watched Falcon and Winter Soldier (and did not finish_ because it was available somewhere else. Have only seen Black Widow in theaters. And still haven't seen the last two Pixar movies. And haven't watched anything Star Wars related since Rise, so no Mandolorian for me.

It's a slow crawl out of the Disney shadow, but honestly, I haven't missed it - and you can just see the things they do behind the scenes. Disney is the first company I'll make a big shift from. I'll work another next. It doesn't happen instantly though.
