@@216trixie I see what you mean and yes there is a big difference however, by all means I’m not at all condoning any sort of future violence towards our former president. Kyle Gass’s remarks I think were to ultimately sound witty when in actuality it fell flat. It was a distasteful remark nonetheless. I would understand people’s stance on canceling someone or even an entity but to my recollection this is the only huge mis-step that has garnered such attention. Like many others that have said bands should really stick to the music and not talk about charged topics such as in the political landscape because, as you see, it makes people judge them not on their talent as a band anymore but rather a view that it could leave a sour taste in one’s mouth potentially forever. Also to note canceling anyone based on looks or weight or opinions should be thought out because, we still have to (wether we like it or not) respect our 1st amendment right for people to express themselves. I don’t always agree with it but it is what I fought to protect as a military man.

As far as not caring about their views or beliefs, I can get behind that and do that as well but the problem is that it is becoming more common in todays cycle and like it or not, JB is one of the more outspoken people on these issues. He is also a very big figure when it comes to influencing children being an actor that has a ton of childrens movies. You and I both know they will see these things and will be swayed and tricked into believing something they should have no reason to form an opinion about.

Who cares? Comedians make dark jokes all the time. This was just people being overly sensitive.

[@clintgable6123]

Look Kyle wasn't wrong but those are comments made for private time

[@Deedo_67]

Sounds like a whole lot of nothing to get worked up about.

[@RiveraVvV-n2l]

Apology wasn't enough and many people think Kyle and Jack should be canceled. Especially Kyle...this is an old man that apparently lacks any wisdom despite being an overweight 90yr old. The numbers don't lie 38k views and only 1k support the video which seems to be pro Jack Black.

[@isaacmontoya9636]

Honestly if I was on top of the world famous and anybody in my band said something that crazy on stage and we were targeted with threats of cancellation I wouldn’t even go on so quick, I’d chill for a year or two and recollect my thinking and learn thoroughly my mistakes and what I can do to change them but whatever. I’m still A Jack Black fan and Tenacious D fan but they need to chill with what they say

[@kingsleyrobson3607]

Literally the same thing the majority of the world said

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

Some things are correct to think but not to say...

[@JaceyMitchell]

I grew up with Tenacious D and have a lot of good memories attached to them, but I would really like it if Jack Black just went away for a couple years. He's been so overexposed I'm suffering from a serious case of Jack Black fatigue.

[@bp1298]

I mean I’m no fan of cancel culture. He’s deflecting the blame onto his band mate but he didn’t seem too blown away by the comment in the video. Some could argue the contrary. Another example of leaving politics out of your workplace. Free speech can bite you in the ass but thankfully. People can still make that mistake.

[@batteryjuice3041]

Heard of free speech ? most people here are to young for that.. Do a search

[@Marlonbc90]

The first amendment doesn't apply here because nobody is asking for laws that prohibit Tenacious D from saying what they want. If it was a matter of freedom of speech this kind of speech would most likely not be protected, because it can be easily considered incitement to violence, which is not protected by the first amendment

[@IPITYTHEFOOLZ]

really apologised? They aren't sorry for what they said, they're sorry they've been called out and caught red handed. Guilt vs Embarrassment.

[@jamesbattaglia7823]

Why is everyone hating on this man he has every right to protect his own ass, especially if his friend is going to commit career suicide on stage bringing the band down with them. Jack Black has every right to disassociate with Kyle Gas for that comment. Either way they're still probably friends behind the scenes and they're both financially set for the rest of their lives so who cares...

[@marcsmirnoff936]

In saying he was "blindsided," Jack Black isn't apologizing. He's trying to throw the Less Famous/Powerful Guy for making a joke that Black seems to have laughed at & initially endorsed (source: the video in question).

[@burtbackattack]

It was an off the cuff, distasteful joke. They really don't need to break up over this.

[@216trixie]

We all know what he really thinks now. It wasn't a joke.

[@leguile1]

They will be back after Nov 5th

[@KellyP-o6f]

What was said was said! It can never be taken back. BS apologies will never make it go away! We all know how they feel and now they must suffer the consequences of their actions! I will never support anyone that behaves that way! You can say and feel how you want! It's a free country but just remember, the court of the public never forgets!!!!!🇺🇸

[@alexlief2072]

Due to Kyle's language in Australia and Jack's language too recently, there's no way the D is going away, they both love it too much. Won't be in 2 years there are some difficulties to work through but they will be back.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

Word is Black has been told "drop him or be dropped". I don't know but it seems to fit.

[@brosch91]

All Tenacious D is doing is laying low until the recent controversy dies down, which won't take long. There is always something new for people to complain about on the internet

[@tabithatate8532]

He did not say it Kyle did

[@selw0nk]
