I'm quitting the academy I'm sorry.
You can't quit you're fired. This is the worst thing that anyone in Hollywood has ever done. Banned! Banned I say!
Fucking honestly it's so stupid. Amber ruined Depps career with a word and that damage still hasn't been reversed by the truth. She physically and mentally abused him and cut off his fucking finger and she still has a career.
Hollywood doesn't have a single moral backbone in the entire industry. All of this nonsense is a facade, it's false virtue signaling so they don't have to deal with real issues.
Like Hollywood supported the fucking Nazis in the 30s and 40s. They fucking support China now. Cuz "can't lose a market or money". Do they honestly expect anyone to believe their reaction to Will is anything but pageantry?
I don't agree with everything you said here and going into discussions about everything you brought up could be lengthy. So without sharing my immediate opinion here I will say this, the entertainment industry has progressively changed as it becomes readily available on a more global scale. I do believe there are moral obligations that the industry could do better on, but then again we are talking about an industry that also produces made up stories and for a variety of viewers. I think some of what you are mentioning here might have to do with the idea that when we turn on our TVs and are signed into a streaming service, we are seeing movies and TV shows that are not what we are regularly used to seeing available. This can force people to be of acceptable or not to movies of different cultures when in the past we would have to go out of our way to do so.
As for the 10 year ban handed to Will Smith, there is a moral obligation to do that and while also speaking in means of viewers across the globe. The violence cannot be accepted and the ban helps send that message out.

I agree, definitely the love of jsp makes us all do crazy things
Sure, though the topic focus is not about d2jsp. Try to stay on topic here. If you want to focus on ones love for d2jsp you could create a new topic or possibly find a topic.

the whole situation was ridiculous from either side
This was similar to my immediate take, but the escalation into violence was indeed worse.
