It is irrelevant that his agent dropped him. If he was talented, agents would be beating down his door.

If Eastwood's agent dropped him, do you think nobody would want to represent him?

---

If Eastwood retired like Woods did, then no.

I still can't believe this entire argument is hinging on Antonio Sabato Jr, James Woods, and Tim Allen, the latter of which is STILL working in mainstream projects and doing just fine. So we're really just talking about Sabato Jr and Woods; a soap actor and a notorious assh*le. It'd be one thing if Tom Hanks came out as conservative and subsequently never worked again. But we're going 'round and 'round about ANTONIO SABATO JR and JAMES WOODS. That's it. It's just incredible how defenders of this conspiracy theory don't see how ridiculous and pathetic their entire argument is.

---

Do you think conservatives are outnumbered 12-1 in academia simply because conservatives are just not "A-listers" in the academic community?

I just want to see how far you want to take this naivete.

Moving the goal posts.

It is irrelevant how many conservatives or liberals there are in Hollywood. Please stay on topic.

---

Nope. It is on topic. If a bunch of PhD's nationwide are so petty that they purge conservatives from their ranks, then who in their right mind would think Hollywood who is full of a bunch of shallow mental midgets would somehow be above it all.

I didn't say Wood's agent fired Woods for Woods being patriotic, but for what he (the Agent) himself thought was patriotic. For you to read that in anyway other than politics is foolish.

And those followup tweets are about as authoritative as you (which is zero).

lol wut?

Also, I remember a time when f16 bemoaned 'victimhood' culture. Is that still a thing?

---

What are you talking about? I don't own Chick-Fil-A stock. Pointing out the fact that Chick-Fil-A was targeted by liberal cancel culture is not "victimhood", it's just stating fact. I supposed to pretend that didn't happen to make your argument more convenient?

---

lol the victimhood mentality comment was applying to YOU, not chick-fila. "woe is me, hollywood blacklisted me for my political beliefs! totally not based on mertis or behavior!"

---

I'm not a freaking member of Hollywood? Can this board embarrass itself anymore than it already has?

Oh...you actually think Woods retired because he wanted to.

He wouldn't be going scorched Earth if he wanted to work.

Is ANYBODY going to answer the academia question? Or is this entire board going to avoid it?

He went scorched Earth because that is who he is. Which, according to what look like multiple sources, is exactly why he isn't working in Hollywood anymore.

I blatantly ignored it because I have no clue what it has to do with anything we're talking about. We're discussing whether HOLLYWOOD "blacklists" conservative actors. And in doing so, we've PROVEN that multiple conservative actors STILL have flourishing careers, thus disproving your and Antonio Sabato Jr's claims. Does Hollywood lean strongly left? Absolutely. Does Academia lean strongly left? No doubt. But that's not what we're arguing.

JFC.

I didn't ask if they strongly lean left. I asked if you believe that academia "blacklists" conservatives?

No. Do you believe academia blacklists (purposefully pushes out) conservatives?

TCTTS said:

---

I have no idea. Sure? Maybe? I haven't paid much attention to "academia" since I left A&M in 2005. Either way, what does that have to do with Hollywood (not) blacklisting conservative actors?

---

BTW, in case you don't realize this, when I say "blacklist", I do not mean that there is literally a list somewhere with conservative names on it. If you think I'm arguing THAT, then no wonder you think I'm crazy.

So the answer about academia is a resounding yes. There have been studies and books written about it. I said 12:1, but it turns out that in social science degrees, it has increased to 21:1 and are estimated to go up as high as to 64:1. And this is a field where tenure exists. There is no such thing as tenure in Hollywood.

So that means that the highest educated liberals in America are still petty enough to blacklist conservatives so overwhelmingly and without shame. Yet somehow, Hollywood, which is about as shallow an industry as it gets, is somehow above such practice? How do you explain the fact that Disney and Netflix have publicly vowed to not do business in states like Georgia over LGBQ issues? If they are willing to do that, why do you think they wouldn't also do that with who they hire?
