It’s one thing to make those kinds of jokes here on Lemmy where the audience is almost all leftists who will cheer. But for a celebrity with a platform, you have to be aware that saying things like that will get them in trouble. It was honestly a shitty no-win situation all around and I don’t blame Jack Black for needing to distance himself for a bit. At least the band is not dead, this will blow over in due time and they’ll come back when it’s died down.
Tenacious D is not dead. Jack Black has confirmed that they will be back someday, they’re just taking a break.
