Meanwhile, people like Nick Cannon, who openly speaks about how much he hates Jews, still has a television show. People like Chris Brown, who beat his girlfriend's face in, still releases albums. People like Mark Wahlberg, who beat an Asian dude (multiple Asian dudes actually) and blinded him, still releases movies. People like Roman Polanski, who raped a child, still is lauded by Hollywood elites. Meanwhile, this woman is being ostracized because of a few ill-advised comments she made as a teenager. The utter hypocrisy of the woke crowd, their inability and unwillingness to speak truth to power while picking apart those with no power and popularity and calling it a great victory for justice is infuriating. I can't help thinking about the end of the Roman Republic, when easily manipulated mobs ran rampant on the streets building nothing but leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. It's like their vision of progress is if United States turns into a Haiti or a Pakistan. The patients are in charge of the asylum; the people with decency will get ground to dust and the people with none will rise to the top.

People like Roman Polanski, who raped a child, still is lauded by Hollywood elites. Roman Polanski was lauded by the old generation of Hollywood elites, most of whom no longer work. He's despised by the current and upcoming generation Hollywood elites, all of whom regard him as a pedophile. The Academy kicked him out several years ago, and since then all major US studios/distributors have refused to finance, acquire, or distribute his films in the U.S. Mark Wahlberg is one of the few conservatives in Hollywood, and largely gets roles because he is a favorite of the conservative market for whom his racist past is not viewed as a negative. people like Nick Cannon, who openly speaks about how much he hates Jews, still has a television show. Nick Cannon does not "hate the Jews" nor has he ever said anything like that. His sole public instance of anti-Semitic comments relates to a podcast from last summer in which he spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about a specific Jewish family, while also various Black supremacist statements generally espousing hatred of all non-Blacks. He lost a billion-dollar media franchise he created and several gigs as a result, though I agree with you that he should have also lost his hosting gig on the Masked Singer. Chris Brown, who beat his girlfriend's face in, still releases albums. Unfortunately the music industry, and R&B and hip hop especially, are still quite misogynistic, so Brown continues to receive industry backing. Meanwhile, this woman is being ostracized because of a few ill-advised comments she made as a teenager. Her comments are pretty bad. But it wasn't just a "few" ill-advised comments. There were many racist and homophobic tweets. A series of them, spread out over several years, including while she was an adult. But the real issue that cost her the job was that most of staff of the magazine she was going to run demanded she be fired.

Her comments are here in a NY Post article and pretty bad they are only if you are of the pearl clutching moral panic set. They are basic dumb stereotypes people mutter while driving. I suggest you actually read them. They arent spread over years as well as documented in the NY Post article, they are all from 2011 when Mccammond was a minor. And most of the staff did nothing, about 20 people on the staff made social media posts as documented in the original article. Your comment might be taken seriously if it wasn't just peppered with inaccuracies. https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/teen-vogue-staffers-call-out-new-editor-in-chief-over-anti-asian-tweets/ https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/teen-vogue-staffers-call-out-n...

    1) She was 18 when she made some of the tweets that got her fired. Those tweets (in the articles being discussed right now) aren't the only tweets that she made; those are simply the ones that were brought up this time. She also made a number of homophobic tweets as an adult and she apologized for those tweets in 2019 when she was first caught. 2) Almost every Asian person that has seen these tweets find them offensive. But thanks for deciding that Asian people don't get to find racist things racist. 3) Teen Vogue has a staff of fewer than 50, and that number includes non-employees. So yes, over half the company rejected her as a boss. That usually gets a person fired even if they're not openly racist.

      1. How about you provide links to said tweets to help us round out that picture. Also, when have you ever given a pre-emptive apology about anything? Apologies generally only happen when offense is recognized. 2. This is just the N billion Muslims will be offended argument repackaged. Pick an action and you can find a sufficiently large group of people to be offended by said action. And no one opinion expressed removes the ability for anyone else judge what they themselves thing is racist. To express otherwise is disingenuous. 3. Barely half is not most as you originally claimed and what about the other staff not in the vocal group of 20 or so. Does the minority opinion and that of say Anna Wintour not matter? Lastly, if you think most workplaces operate under the rules of Teen Vogue in terms of employees relationship to management you are going to have a hard worklife ahead of you.

Teen Vogue has become a weird Pravda-esque aggressively woke, identity politics-centered publication, and she’s been one person at the helm of it. She made her own bed.
