Or say so in the press release. 21:25 < aestetix> Reason being: Roseanne the show has dozens if not more people employed and depending on it for a paycheck, etc. If it turns out that your job can be eliminated because of the lead person's twitter account, and so quickly, that creates a chilling effect. 21:26 < aestetix> Imagine if you were one of the set producers for Roseanne, or a writer or something, and you see her say something on twitter, shrug it off, and then 30 minutes later you find out that you don't have a job for the next year after all. 21:28 < aestetix> What will be interesting is if this show gets picked up by another network. 21:28 < aestetix> If it does, it will be a victory for the free market. If it doesn't, it will show there is a left-wing cabal in the television networks that can't handle a tweet. 21:28 < aestetix> (or that Roseanne is not interested in another season after all) 21:29 <@oddball> Problem is that they already announced that it was going to be renewed. 21:30 < aestetix> Ok. I hadn't seen thta. 21:31 < aestetix> So yeah, completely horrible move by ABC 21:31 < aestetix> Because they didn't just fuck over Roseanne. They fucked over everyone involved in making that show. 21:31 < aestetix> Unless they have something in the press release "we will help all the staff find another gig" 21:32 <@oddball> haha. You're funny. 21:32 < aestetix> But seriously. How the hell do you make a call that affects the liveliehood of so many people and their familes, after 30 minutes of twitter 21:32 < aestetix> It boggles the mind. 21:33 <@oddball> That's the world we live in now. 21:34 < aestetix> Like, if ABC had put out a press release "We condemn Roseanne's staement, but will continue with the show because we want to support the staff" that would be one thing 21:34 <@oddball> Especially if the person in question happens to be conservative. 21:34 < aestetix> It's like the decision was made by a 25 year old 21:35 < aestetix> As I was saying in another channel, I would love to see an interview where Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow, and Amy Goodman all take on Steve Bannon at once 21:35 < aestetix> Because that would mean the left and right were talking to each other. 21:38 < aestetix> https://www.allsides.com/story/abc-cancels-roseanne-after-roseanne-barr-tweet-sparks-outrage 21:38 < PigBot> ABC Cancels 'Roseanne' After Roseanne Barr Tweet Sparks Outrage | AllSides (at www.allsides.com) http://tinyurl.com/y9mfwhqa 21:39 < aestetix> Maybe it's because one of my colleagues just had a baby, but I can't help to think.... what if one of the staffers was a new parent, and now finds themselves wondering how they'll get health care for the baby next year 23:17 -!- K`Tetch [~no@unaffiliated/ktetch] has joined #se2600 --- Log closed Wed May 30 00:00:17 2018
