never watched the show but it seems stupid to fire him over these tweets. some of them are funny but others are just dumb. i don't understand the cutting off homeless women's breasts tweet especially. none of them seem like he was being serious. cancel culture is fucking dumb.
I feel like these are just some of his bad jokes. If we saw it all I wonder how many jokes he makes about men, priests, cars, the weather, etc and these are just the cherry picked ones about women.
The guy was developing his voice and clearly that kind of stuff didnt work out so he dropped it and moved on.
Hell, I cant wait for Lisa Lampanelli to get retroactively cancelled for her set. Or has she already? Haven't heard from her in a while.

Waiting for folks to start spouting off that his free speech was violated, as usual every time something like this goes.

I remember being in college slightly before the world went nuts and I was talking about character in a movie to one of my classmates and he was so offended when I called the character Fatty McPie. That's pretty tame as far as in-jokes from my youth with my friends go. My brother would totally be cancelled by now.

Yes would think at this point there would be a "professional" clean up crew that celebs would hire to scour the archives of their various social media accounts and remove anything that could be potentially career ending...they could even pay a monthly fee to have an employee of said business monitor the accounts and the celebs could take a screenshot and send it to the agent for quick eval before posting. Think of it as sort of a condom for the pctd's that's spreading like wildfire these days.

Oh boo hoo... How dare anyone care about anything other than all the miserable things in the world.
What a sad, fucking loser cunt.
Hartley (and all of the super cute and tiny ethnically-ambiguous women) was the best part of that horribly-written, kind-of-horribly-acted show. Hart-Dawg -- as his friends who I just imagined into existence call him -- should probably gear up for a wrongful termination suit. It's so sad to see such a promi-... No, Hart-Dawg is a combination of his first name, Hartley, and an affectionate misspelling of "dog" used to display a form of camaraderie. I'm sorry it went over your head, but this is bro-down-like-it's-a-hoedown talk 101. Maybe you should get out more instead of posting in Hartley Sawyer firing threads on the internet if you don't get common nicknaming conventions. Maybe invest in some prescription deodorant while you're at it. It smells like a Brussels sprouts and garlic festival in here.

This is amazing.
Where do we start?"all families, black and brown ones" Erm? Brown family, yeah so not racist.
What's the difference between black and brown?"continual harassment - unconscious or otherwise - " So consciously and unconsciously? Better not unconsciously active that limbic system you fucking racist. Wrong think?! Oven this motherfucker!
"the only way for you to be free is for all of us to be free" How many of us are in Prison? None, so we're all free then?
"white privilage" ohh yeah, tell me more about how all races should be one, but only vilify whites.
And the best Rhetoric of them all, parroted ad nauseum? "shocked, saddened and angry" Why angry? Violence is bad but anger is OK?

It explains so much about The Flash that he’s head writer.

The burlap sack joke was pretty good. Better than my "dead hookers in my crawlspace" variant.

I only have a dummy account to follow sports teams, movies, videogame news, stuff like that. I stopped using Twitter seriously awhile ago and felt better immediately
