Prove that they don't care about "cancel culture". They were just angry that they were not the ones doing the cancelling.

They have always cancel and will always cancel others.

From my understanding this is kinda a stunt to prevent backlash and such, and I assume they'll get back together after the election

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

One can hope.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

That's my line of thinking.

Given the image Jack Black cultivated for himself, being around anyone who wished for a political figure's death will work against that image, no matter how much Black may agree or disagree with Kyle. It's a perfectly understandable decision and I doubt it's permanent.

The snowflakes can't take a joke and start their cancel culture again

Somewhat /s

Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age, or Kyle Gass what he wants for his 64th birthday.

Exceedingly rare Jack Black L

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago

Jack Black coming out as a Zionist was a massive L that makes up for the rarity

I don’t understand how people are framing this as Jack black fucking up. What’s the problem, exactly? I haven’t really followed this saga, but from what Ive gathered, KG made a joke about the assassination attempt, they got backlash for that and they canceled the tour for safety reasons. How is this a failing on JB’s part?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's because of Jack Black's response. He said he was blindsided by Kyle's joke and that it was his decision to break up the band.

I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form. After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.

Oooh, so he’s kinda throwing KG under the bus a bit. Interesting.

At least, that’s how that statement comes off. It sounds like he’s considering never working with Kyle again over the joke? If that’s what he meant, then yeah, that’s a really shitty thing to do just to save face for himself. Jesus. Thanks for the info.

Those are inside thoughts Kyle! Keep those thoughts on the inside! Mind bullets not real bullets.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Let the mind bullets out, Kyle. Tell Jack to stop being a pansy who can't rock.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Yeah, was a bit of an overreaction.

My six year old is really into some of their (more age appropriate) work. I can't break it to him.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You gotta wait at least a week. JB fired Kyle before, you never know

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I mean, it only took a week when Kyle quit the band. Let's give it some time.
