I'd think the stuff he said to Oksana Grigorieva would be more material to get him cancelled.

I want to see his Viking epic Berserker.

Let's just pretend it's true - who the fuck cares? This is like the Beavis and Butthead thread that was made here with the OP being surprised by the 90s humor.
Making edgy jokes in the 90s was extremely common. Calling a Jewish person an "oven dodger" was no different from calling your friend who won't get on the roller coaster a "faggot." It sounds harsh to today's pearl-clutchers, but those were much better times. Race relations were way better back then as well.

edit: I wrote a dumb thing. I dislike how people still want to hold Mel's feet to the fire instead of forgiving him, but that doesn't excuse the horrible, hurtful, and idiotic things he has said on tape in the past.

Like Mel Gibson gives a fuck. He burnt many bridges and still went onto to put out highly rated media. Passion of Christ, apocalito etc

Winona damaging women's reputation 25 years into the future with this shit.
Youd swear he murdered someone the way this crap gets blown up. 25 years from now someone will have used a curse word and get fucking fired.
Nah. I've had it with this nazi surveillance ratting shit.
Fuck you Winona.

I want of this Marxist train before it arrives.
Which reminds me, Dragged Across Concrete was a pretty good watch. Not exactly buddy cop though.

I laughed.
He hates Jews, but at least he makes a good joke when being anti semetic.
Anyways not sure why they are trying to nail him for the Jew thing, thats passe. They need to catch him hitting on a girl or tying his shoe laces in a loop (noose) if they want him cancelled.

Always wondered when Mel Gibson would be cancelled yet again. lol..
I'd like to see Mel Gibson playing Joel in upcoming "The Last of Us" HBO series.... although he's little too old, and Druckman would flip out like crazy... (and that maybe what I'd like to see too, like an added bonus)

It's fine to enjoy his movies and whatnot, but to pretend that "oven dodger" is just an innocent joke is nonsense.
Whether he said it or not, Mel didn't make it up. It's not a joke. People say it seriously. It's been used as a phrase to try and kindle fear in Jews. Make them feel small and in danger. "That man would kill me if he could get away with it..."
If any of you said that to a Jew? Fuck you.
Holy shit relax lol
If that bothered you, I can't imagine what you'd think of black humor.
I thought it was funny. I also believe what actual Nazis did to Jews during WWII was heinous and evil. Crazy, I know...

It is a bit of a slow burn. I personally tend to not mind films with slower pacing.

I am relaxed. I’m telling you the truth about the intentions behind those words based on personal experience, accounts from others, and video evidence.
I’m very calm when I say “fuck you” to anyone who uses that phrase.
I'm sure you're telling the truth, but you don't get to decide what's a joke or not. That's extremely arrogant
Intentions behind words absolutely matter, that is why you can't go around treating everyone finding humor in taboo subjects as some sort of anti-semite

Casino is my favorite movie but I think DAC is too slow in parts. Could've easily cut like 20 mins from it.

I’m talking about realities in the wild. Not comedy clubs.
Also, how the fuck can I get away with saying “noose dodger” or “plantation dodger” right in the face of a Black man? Are you thinking this through?
What does that even mean? That's such a non-statement. No one is talking about "comedy clubs". Since when is humor exclusively reserved to comedy clubs?
because CONTEXT MATTERS.
Are you thinking this through? lol
Do you realize how many jokes have been made in reference to black slavery, many of which are made by black people?

The context is not a Jew saying “oven dodger” to someone they barely know.
That’s fine. Don’t pretend you’re not gonna get an ass-beating in the above context.
You aren't amused, and that's understandable. It's a good thing humor is subjective then.
Wait why would I get an ass beating? How does making jokes deserves an ass beating? lol
That would only show how emotionally unstable the person being violent is. You're not one of those 'speech is violence' people, are you?

I’m not saying I’d personally react like that. Might light them up with words, though.
But it’s wishful thinking to approach a black man you barely know and say some provocative shit and not expect some physical pushback? I’m sure you’re aware of a certain series of notorious prank vids.

Why are people here surprised?
They are cancelling mother fuckers from more than 100 years ago. Get with it!

Why would you assume a black man would react violently though? What makes you think there wouldn't be any context for that joke?
What makes you assume that black man wouldn't have a sense of humor and the rationality to not take it personally or literally?
I never brought up pranks, so no I'm not aware of a certain series of prank vids.

Mel has survived worse. Plus he makes more in real estate than he does in hollywood anyway.

I advise you to try it out for yourself. A learning experience.
Clearly you haven’t yet.

Video evidence and witnessing irl proves that such provocations are by and large not tolerated. You are likely to be knocked out depending on the physical capacity of the person you approached.
Disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
That’s why I lol’d. You’re ignoring reality.
There’s nothing more to say at that point. Move how you please.
Video evidence lol. You make a lot of assumptions. Do you believe all black people think the same?
Also, you still haven't answered my questions.

I never made an absolute statement that all Black people will react the same, but if you have some fucking common sense, you’d know that by and large, again, they’re not tolerant of provocative behaviour towards their race and history.
We’re going in circles.
I feel like I’m being too nice explaining this in baby steps to you.
If you disagree then OK. You believe in a different reality.

Damn that looks good! I had never heard of it. Probably because Mel Gibson is in it and that ensures the movie gets buried.Which reminds me, Dragged Across Concrete was a pretty good watch. Not exactly buddy cop though.
