Imo, JB capitulated to the far right by so staunchly objecting to KG’s comment/joke… it wasn’t necessary for him to make such a big deal about it, legitimizing the outrage which, imo, wasn’t justified.

Have whatever opinion you want, idgaf.

Also, a ‘free speech absolutist’ and ‘only wanting people to agree with you’ are unrelated concepts… to quote you, the fuck are you talking about?

Was there even any outrage? The only news I read was about Jack Black canceling the concerts, nothing about Kyle Gass' original comment.
