By avoiding social media, the focus is on his work, and his value as an actor is on his skill/talent instead of his social media following. I’m not amongst those who think actors should shut up and never discuss politics, but when they do speak out on social issues, they should do so fully aware that in spite of humanity’s better nature, we as a species place a higher value on what famous people say/do. If a plumber keeps a social media account supporting Nazis or conspiracy theories, it is doubtful he will get cancelled because not many people care what a plumber thinks. So when a celebrity gets called out for public statements, that’s the way the cultural cookie crumbles. I’ve been part of cancelling people online, and I do so because I believe actions should have consequences. I’ve helped try to cancel liberals (Bill Maher, Kathy Griffin) and conservatives (Donald Trump, Kirk Cameron). And I’ve got my own Grammy nominated stalker because I played a part in cancelling her. And I’ve been physically threatened and threatened with lawsuits, and all that does is tell me I’m doing the right thing. > > On Thu, Feb 11, 2021 at 3:24 PM Adam Bowie <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> On Thu, Feb 11, 2021 at 3:15 PM PGage <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> It seems they are saying she was not fired so much as not re-hired after >>> her contract expired.
