Should RTE stop airing Father Ted?

So I see Graham Linehan was unable to find a venue to hold his comedy show.

Despite this I don't see Father Ted or The IT crowd being pulled from channel 4 anytime soon.

I think he is cancelled from his own industry of comedy writing though. No one seems to want to work with him now and he would be difficult to take a gamble on as his last popular show was from 10 years ago.

That is true but cancel culture I think refers more to advertisers being targeted to not support a show or organised boycotts and protests. The church and conversative groups did it in the past and now every side tries to do it. I think people wanted to work with linehan on the father Ted musical in 2018.

You think it's that organised? I doubt it.

Who are the liberals with this authority and what authority do they have?

This comedy show with Grahm Linehan lost money by cancelling the show, as all the tickets had already be sold. If decisions were made purely for financial reasons this show wouldn't have been cancelled.

In your previous post you stated the general public always has a voice and they can make their wishes known with their wallet. I was only rebutting those points.

Man on internet gets obsessed with topic, harasses individuals on a frequent basis, ends up with his wife leaving him because of his behaviour. On top of that, half of his former colleagues no longer want to associate with him because he's harangued them online for not agreeing with him.

All his old comedy works continue to be aired but nobody wants to work with him in the future. That's as a result of his behaviour. On top of that, the comedy venues ran a mile when they saw his name cause of the reputation he earned.

No it shouldn’t stop because the show and the actors in it shouldn’t be tied into something one of the creators said years after the show ended.

I actually don't think it can. Legislation is voted on by the Oireachthas by the politicians we elect and that's the way it should be. Referendums become issues of protest etc and the real matter gets overlooked.

I'd argue his wife leaving him reflect quite poorly on her aswell. If marriage is supposed to be a serious commitment then I don't think a couple of years of odd behavior is requisite for ending a marriage rather than trying to properly help the person who's going trough the crisis they were going through.

Oh come on- his wife and family were threatened by trolls and all because he refused to give up the bickering - you know nothing about the key reasons the relationship ended- that’s such a pompous thing to say about someone you know nothing about
