"Fired for being Jewish. Glad I helped you get your kickstarter money. Please lose my email address & pray for my family in Israel and in Gaza."

Gotta pull that card out.

Response: "I will ante my Jew card, and raise you another Jew card."

"The other main character is voiced by a Jewish person (Alex Hirsch), the co-writer of the pilot (me) is a Jew too…try again!" Rothbell wrote in a series of two posts. "I had nothing to do with her apparently being recast but this is an absurd claim to make."

Strong folds.

Edit: I agree that it's stupid that they fired her for liking a comment.

Why are they all jews?

An interesting detail.

Oh, yeah, I remember her. Juliette from Lollipop Chainsaw and Rikku from Final Fantasy X.

I do think it's kinda bullshit to get cancelled for hitting "heart" on the wrong Tweet. Like, you should probably have to type something with your own fingers to get fired over it.

Yeah. Canceling someone for a "like" is next level dystopian.

She may or may not have also rewteeted something along those lines too, it's unclear. But firing people for views expressed outside the workplace sucks in any case.

I think retweeting is even less of a problem. A lot of people retweet stuff to share info rather than to endorse.

Maybe you need to get yourself a nice woke Jewish girlfriend who has had so much guilt instilled into her you can shame her into going out with you by accusing her of lookism.

She is 50. Nobody aged 50 is "hot".

You know, I doubt Tara is reading this website, so you can stop with your negging tactics. She would never fuck you anyway.

But, but; 'noticing' mafia-like behavior among a clannish, insular 'belief-system' that exercises power totally out of proportion to its demographic representation, is an antisemitic canard!

Facilitated cancellation.

This mass canceling shows how stupid the left is.

People have hot takes. People are uninformed. Have a fuckingncomversation.

The left is eating their own.

I am just sitting back with my popcorn watching.

So fuck your free speech, Tara. This is a cartoon for fuck's sake!
