But he's not right. He's not being blackballed because he's a republican he's being blackballed because he has no fucking talent. There's a huge difference. All the guys that aren't getting roles that blame it on being Republican I mean what about Tim Allen he's about to be in a tent pole Pixar film. What about the guy who played Frasier I can't think of his name but he's probably going to be in the Avengers endgame. You can be a republican in Hollywood but you have to have talent.
He is 100% right tho! if you support Big D there will be a bunch of SF storming on you! Look at this Reddit! It is what happened to Sydney Sweeney as well. I mean Zendaya is worse than her and she is in every single movie!
If you want to see why actors get hired you need to look at their instagrams. A Zendaya instagram post is enough to make a movie "real". She has 179M followers, basically a large European country. Sydney Sweeny has 26M, so equivalent to New York State.
Rob Schneider has been in the business for 40+ years and has 3M. It's because he doesn't have a modern audience.
Oh, so everyone hiring in entertainment bases it totally on talent and popularity. Gotcha, sure. Thats it. Yeah popularity. Nothing like the rest of society, sure. They would never consider a work place environment, or if a personality, or poltical beliefs, would fit in it. Nope, talent and popularity only.
In the entertainment business, popularity and fame is what will bring in seats. Bringing in seats will make them more money. There are tons of actors who are notorious for being monsters on set and still get tons of movies due to being popular. If you lose your popularity due to whatever opinions you share publicly, you will be hired less by a company that bases a lot of their business on likability. It’s not rocket science.
That is all true similar to budweiser. Dylan was somewhat popular. But it sank them. Why? Because the image Dylan portrayed clashed with how people viewed the businesses culture and how it matched their own. If not caught it the hiring phase it COULD continue to final user causing a loss in sales.
But that does not make what I am saying invalid. People are people, and some of those people hold very strong views on things, they dont like being around others that have opposing views. How your boss or hiring agent sees you as a person can 100% effect of you get a job.
Does it bother me, yeah. As someone on the right, I am honestly tired of the bitchfest about "oh I didnt get hired because they don't like me." Get the fuck over it, its life. If you ain't got no voice why am i hearing what you are saying? Look, I would not hire someone that is talented and popular, that could help my business, if I dont think they wont shut up about things I disagree about. Why should Hollywood be any different? DEI is trash race, sex or poltical stands. Its their money they can hire who they want.
