This take is just bizarre to me. Here I will disagree with the other Blake supporter. The Baldoni stans are SJW, not MAGA.

I am the one who is pointing out how everyone professionally or personally involved with Baldoni is MAGA adjacent. It’s totally possible that some Baldoni supporters are in the “so far left, they’ve circled back to right” camp. It’s equally possible they are trying to both sides this by making racism the focus instead of workplace/sexual harassment and retaliation. We have seem this tactic used in other areas.

But what remains true if the Baldoni surrounds himself with maga supporters, and is using people closely tied to the Trump campaign. His parents are maga. The outlets siding with him tend to be right leaning. His team, including his lawyer, did interviews with maga adjacent media and podcasters. And in his own deposition, when he responds to a line of questioning about these issues, he feigned ignorance, but he answers were very carefully curated. I don’t think Baldoni is MAGA but think he knows that many of his supporters are and is fine with that.

And Blake and Ryan are pretty outspoken Democrats, so there is a political tinge to all of this.

What a pathetic attempt to distract from the issues!

In any case, the abuse of privilege and clout by Blake and Ryan is peak MAGA, no matter how they claim to vote.

Add in Blake’s past racism, mocking of religion and use of the Alladin emoji to represent Justin.

Definitely not someone this Democrat wants to associate with. By hey, if racism and elitism is your thing, go for it.

They didn't like him. I also don't follow people I dislike on Instagram. If I was a public person and someone asked me "why did you unfollow so-and-so on Instagram" I'd say "none of your business, that is not something you should care about" because... it's not.

It just seems like a weird amount of drama over something that I think really, really does not matter. It's just the shallowest possible thing.

Come on. It’s a huge public FU because people track that.

Did you not see the absolute sh-t storm when Travis unfollowed Ryan? They knew that it would be public with an hour. It’s a public way of saying I no longer like this person without having to put out a statement and if you don’t think it has impact, look at the Sony executives absolutely freaking out when it happened because they were afraid of what it would do to the movie. It mattered a lot.

But yes, it’s incredibly childish. It’s just a bunch of toddlers lashing out.

Yes, I see that some people online are obsessive about finding out which celebs follow others and post reddit threads and speculate about it. I have seen those headlines.

But it also seems to me that the obvious response to that would be "guys, it doesn't matter, it's just social media." People will get worked up about anything, but they forget about it the next day. The news cycle is always churning and this isn't actually important.

I just tend to think that could have been handled by just telling anyone who asks that it's not important, and they want to talk about the movie.

I guess I don't view it as childish to unfollow (why follow someone you actively don't like). I do think it's childish to care. Just let it go. Like in the example of Jenny Slate, she says she unfollowed because she didn't want to help Justin promote a "feminist ally" brand that she thought was BS, and I think that was a genuinely held opinion from her, not something she was talked into. She's entitled to that. But also -- who cares? Just move on. It's the fixating on this that I think is infantile.

Have to hard disagree about Slate. She literally was at Blake’s beck and call, and did everything Blake asked her to, it’s all in the texts. Blake even basically scripted Slate’s housing complaint.

Joi Harris, a stunt woman, literally died on a Ryan Reynolds set. That explains why everything he touches ends up in chaos.

If Reynolds was negligent in any way, he should pay for that fully, but it has nothing to do with this case.

He wasn't even in charge of the set or there when it happened. This is such a weird thing people keep bringing up. It's horrible, but not only has nothing to do with this case, it doesn't even reflect on him personally.

If Blake is a democrat so help us all. She gives the lady who lied on Emmitt Till vibes. But that’s your champion for women’s rights🤮. [/quote

You are so right. That explains the large donations to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights, among others.
