Far from a double standard. Not the same thing at all. Calling someone an orangutan is quite clearly a way of calling them a fool. What Rosanne said, was filled with hate. Awful

I knew she was bad but had NO IDEA she was THAT bad

Kill yourself

People calling Trump an orangutan is also filled with hate. Calling his daughter a c___ is also filled with hate, as well as suggesting that she seduce her own father. Both sides are saying reprehensible things, and all are filled with hate. We cannot change how other people behave. All we can do is be the best people we can be as individuals and lead by example. And a good way to start is to stop all the fighting with each other.

JimothyBlumpkin I'm pretty sure she hurt people. Words hurt, especially when they are ignorant and racist. ABC could care less about left wing bullshit. They don't want deal with the backlash for the next 6 months until season 2 started. Its all about $$$$ for ABC...well played well played.

rompe_palle please see @Addfrog112 comments about the View and the rest of the Twitterverse. I don't think anyone should lose their job over something that was said. Words don't hurt unless you want to get hurt and are looking for an excuse to be offended. Also, you are probably right about ABC not wanting to deal with the backlash, however if they had dug in, then this would have blown over or been able to be managed

Everybody... you have the right to your opinion. We are here because we love tv series. Let’s remember that. On a side note: fuck Trump, Viva México carajo!

EvanWorden Roseanne didn't decide she'd had enough and was stopping the show. This was an ABC decision, made to avoid left wing e-warrior backlash.

EvanWorden she made a stupid tweet. ABC's desperate need to appear sensitive cost everyone their jobs.

EvanWorden yes, it's clearly not the employers fault when they fire employees.... Lol

EvanWorden yes, a lot of people should lose their jobs because someone wrote something on the internet. That is clearly rational and balanced. Roseanne's tweet clearly harmed VJ... Oh wait, no it didn't. VJ is fine, as is the rest of the entire world, except for the cast and crew of Roseanne, and the people who enjoyed watching it.

Its usually the people that do all the name calling have something wrong with them

@EvanWorden. There have been many instances where people believe that Jesus is speaking to them. When people pray they feel that Jesus is speaking to them. That doesn't make a person mentally ill.

EvanWorden are you VJ? Nope? OK, then you and your ilk cannot assume she was hurt any more than I can assume she wasn't. Only difference is that I'm asking you for evidence to back up your claim that there was damage done by 1 stupid tweet by 1 stupid person.

EvanWorden how unusual for the left wing to resort to personal attacks when faced with logic. Thanks for proving my point. Peace and love.

EvanWorden ok I see what you mean. You We're making me feel like I was mentally ill at first because sometimes I feel Jesus is guiding me but I don't physically hear a voice lol

EvanWorden you're the one alleging "hurt", all I'm asking for is your evidence... I can show evidence of the hurt caused by ABC's actions - cast, crew and viewers don't have a show. So where's your evidence of material damage? (spoiler alert, hurt feels don't count)

EvanWorden fair call. I spoke for VJ when I have no first hand knowledge of her circumstances, so I retract my comment. If you could now provide evidence of actual harm caused by the rogue tweet (aside from the lost jobs, of course) that would be great.

EvanWorden I never said she was not in the wrong. I think her tweet was stupid, inane, childish and she should be ashamed for sending it. I also think that the reaction to that tweet should be contempt (and possibly pity) for the person who wrote it. I do not think people should lose their jobs because of it. She didn't affect anyone's job, so the response is disproportionate

EvanWorden there is no logical reason she should lose her job! You're happy with depriving her of her income, why not her liberty as well? It's a slippery slope, and there's still no correlation between her actions (words) and ABC's (material damage to hundreds of people)

EvanWorden thanks for laying out your argument so clearly. While I disagree, I do see the logic to your position. I appreciate the fact that we can have a discussion, end up disagreeing, and not degenerate into abuse.
