Exceedingly rare Jack Black L

[–] spiderplant@lemm.ee 40 points 11 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?

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.
