    Sure, Hitler was bad, but we’ll never be able to reach across the aisle and compromise with Nazis if you keep making jokes about him killing himself like a fucking loser! Please change and grow as a person :(

      i agree, but in fairness here most aussies actually agree with kyle and fuckn hate trump - this is just Jack Black throwing his friendship of 30 years under the bus for that sweet Nintendo/Illumination and DNC money

        If Nintendo broke ties with everyone that praises assassinations they would have no employees because the vast majority of Japan thinks Shinzo’s assassination had a positive effect and he’s seen as a hero. People fucking cosplay as him lol

          i’d say its more the illumination side of things, considering how many fingers he has in the animated film industry - and especially since he’s a public face, rather than rank-and-file

            I reckon it’s more to do with him being directly involved with the Democrats campaign via Rock the Vote. But yeah it’s definitely not Nintendo lol.

            Either way Jack’s a hack.

          because the online statement is from him directly (not Tenacious D socials together), states he entirely disagrees with Kyle’s actions and unilaterally says all creative plans for the D are cancelled (again, not in a joint statement)

    I personally know someone who was stalked by Kyle so I don’t really respect the man but this was the softest joke in the world. As leftist, we are told to kill outselves on a daily basis because we believe Palestinians are people along with trans people. But it’s crazy how much libs will bend over backwards for something like this and humanize the worst people out there. Remember Kathy Griffin? They suck.

        Sure. I had a friend who was a drummer back in HS and she met with Tenatious D as part of some MySpace contest when that was a thing. He would DM her and cyberstalking her for a minute. I don’t remember if she was 18 yet but this was all back in the day when social media was new too. So even if she went to anyone and had a paper trail, people were still inexperienced with this type of online behavior. But my friend was still in HS so it has always weirded me out.
