Roseanne Vraag

How come when Roseanne made that supposed racist tweet and the toon got cancelled, everyone zei "no keep the toon just take her out" but now that the toon could get picked up again without her, everyone is now saying "no keep her on it's not the same

Why can't they make up their minds?! Honestly IMO, they should continue the toon without her. I mean it's not fair that the cast and crew should be out of the job all because of her. I mean I know she was the soul focus of the toon and she created it and stuff but again, why put everyone out of the job because of one person? Honestly, I think they should've played the reboot out as the main ster being either Darlene, Becky of DJ raising their own family of in Becky's case, living their own independent life. To me, it just seemed like a dumb verplaats to have like everyone be the same relationship wise and just life wise. I mean, Becky still acts like a dumb teenager fighting with her parents, Becky and Darlene still fight like teenagers, Roseanne and Jackie still consider Bev an annoying nuisance, Dan's still doing a mildly to unsuccessful drywall business, Roseanne and Dan are still having money problems (course that does describe today's economy), and Roseanne and Dan still make all the decisions in terms of their kids and their kids' kids. There's like no character development at all except for Darlene and DJ being parents to their kids. I get that their goal was always to portray the family as a real family dealing with real issues but sometimes, I think they try too hard that it's just meer depressing to watch then entertaining. I mean I watch sitcoms to be amused, not be reminded of how crappy the economy is. Sorry I'm getting off topic.

"...supposed racist tweet..."
- It was an explicitly racist tweet. One among many.

I'm not sure who u mean door "everyone". The overwhelming (vocal) response seems to me to have been to annuleer the toon completely. There is another vocal group that argues that the toon should continue without her. I haven't seen many arguing that the toon should continue with her still on board. I think this probably all depends on the circles u roll in...

"...why put everyone out of the job because of one person?"
- One of the main issues is that Roseanne Barr probably has intellectual property rights to the show, so would continue to make money on the toon even if she isn't in it. Unfortunately I haven't found anything online that clears up that issue, but that issue is one that I think a few people are concerned about should the toon carry on.

As for your thoughts on the direction of the show, I guess that is your opinion. We all watch sitcoms for different reasons, and I guess that is one of the reasons why the Roseanne reboot, and cancellation, has been surrounded so many different, conflicting opinions.

Well actually, it wasn't a racist commentaar cause for one thing, the woman isn't even black. What people seem to also be forgetting is that Roseanne also compared her to an ape.

Valerie Jarrett has African ancestry. She identifies with that ancestry. No one has forgotten that Roseanne compared her to an ape. That is the main point of racism that people have criticised Roseanne for and it is why she lost her job. Comparing black people to apes is extremely racist.

Ok maybe I made it out like I personally didn't think the tweet was racist. I meant to say that from what I have heard, the tweet apparently shouldn't be considered racist. I'm sorry for the confusion.
