      I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?

        Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s not too long before committing suicide. There’s really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.

        If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

        RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

          It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.

          Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.

          It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.

      I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney™) was being an ‘edgy’ comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.

        Lots of times when me and KG are watching

        All the fucking shit that goes down at City Hall

        We get the feeling we should fuck shit up

        Yeah, we should fucking start a riot

        A riot!

        And the song continues to tell about the destruction of the government, with the implication that previous leaders are dead. It’s obviously a joke song, and when KG made the joke on stage it should have been taken just the same, but Hollywood Jack stepped in and thought about all of the movie deals he was gonna miss out on… like fucking Minecraft… Yeah. I love Jack, and I wish him the best, but I am on KG’s side, and if they haven’t fixed this shit on a personal level, and Kage comes out with some shit about Jack sucking, I’m gonna wave goodbye to the D.

        People are mad because he denounced Gass when Gass made comments regarding Trump’s would be assassin missing, but security at concerts are trash and it’s reasonable the the both of them could be shot by a Trump supporter.

            That’s not their only tour stop or do you expect the two to apply for citizenship? Also, Trump in an international cult leader at this point. Someone could cobble together a zipgun anywhere and sneak it close.

          Made comments? He blew out a candle and wished for them not to miss Trump with a bullet. Literally calling for the death of someone else. Wishing death on anyone is a pretty shit thing to do.

              I wish Trump and Putin could somehow be used to bash each other to death, simultaneously. So, I guess I’m as bad as you.

            Yes, that’s what happened. But we’re not talking about Gass, we’re talking about Jack Black and his reaction to that which was cancelling the tour.

            Which in my opinoin was a perfectly reasonable response given the recent attempt on Trump’s life, as well as the threats that had already been made about specific Taylor Swift concerts.

            I can’t even imagine the amount of death and rape threats that they and their families received after those comments. Imagine leaving for a world tour amidst that.

            I guess fuck him for not wanting his fans to get shot up at a concert by some psychopath.

              Why not having them locked up and prosecuted? All those rabid MAGAs calling for death and destruction are deranged, I think we agree. Who gets to decide when it’s appropriate to assassinate politicians in our democracy?

                When they’re inches away from regaining the highest office in the country, pretty much anyone, because it clearly won’t be the people who’s job it is. Who talk endlessly about how he’s a very real threat to the very fabric of our country, then do fuck all to protect their citizens, allowing years to pass before his very public and overt crimes are even addressed.

                No. Jack O’Neill shot Apophis in the face like 4 times. Luke Skywalker ended Darth Vader’s reign. Captain Janeway demolished the Borg. Biden and Garland allowed a domestic terrorist and real-life cartoon villain to campaign for president, and he may actually win. Fuck. That. At this point I don’t give a flying fuck how “complex” real life is. He needs to go, just like Apophis.

      He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate Trump, but as a public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.

          He has a personal armed guard that’s legally obligated to keep him safe., way more resources to make that happen, and is very likely riddled with brain worms. Not a great meat sack to compare a sane person to.

        Too bad the ex president making comments about assassination on various groups he’s against is pretty much ignored these days. But don’t you dare make such a joke about his life not being as valued.

          Yeah, now say that on a literal stage, with a microphone, in front of thousands, while the whole thing is being recorded.

          Oh and you’re famous enough that it would be trivial for a pissed off crazy person with a gun to figure out where you and your children live.

      Yeah, safe to say you don’t know why the joke was an issue. It wasn’t a “Trump joke”, it was an “endorsing assasaination” joke.

      Yeah, it’s a joke, yeah it was funny to me personally (I might have made the same joke), but you cannot say certain jokes publicly as a public figure.

    I don’t even care that much about the band stuff. I liked his movies when he was little, and when he started a gaming channel I realized I now find him very annoying. He comes across as full of himself and desperate for attention.

      I mean… He’s an entertainer. I think most entertainers are attention seekers. That’s why they got into it in the first place; for the attention.

      Then again, he could have just grown up that way because he was a child actor.

        I dunno, that limp spined shit earlier this year (or was it last year now?) kinda killed any love I felt for Jack Black. He became an avatar of the “we need to be better persons and treat the rising fascist movement with the same respect and legitimacy as any other political movement” that the Democrats were following until Harris finally started running a real campaign against Trump.

        Ironically enough, his considering ending Tenacious D out loud over that comment killed off the part of me that was upset he’d end Tenacious D over that comment.

        Though I am curious if he came to regret speaking out about that and how quickly he got there.
