Hollywood's selective enforcement of speech norms reveals a troubling pattern. Some can openly criticize sitting politicians without career consequences. Others? Expressing different political views becomes career suicide. The disparity isn't about what's said—it's whose saying it. This double standard, where ideological conformity determines professional survival, echoes broader conversations about who controls narrative and at what cost to open discourse. When creativity becomes conditional on political alignment, the industry loses more than diversity of thought.

Wow, this is what Hollywood is like now—censorship disguised as progress.
Hollywood has its first and second sets; some people can say whatever they want, but if someone else says the same thing, they have to die? That's ridiculous.
Basically, whoever has the power to speak gets to decide, and everyone else should shut up.
Creativity also depends on political stance? That's not creativity anymore, just pure domestication.

This is the spirit that Web3 needs most; decentralized freedom of speech is the future.

The most typical double standard I've seen is someone criticizing politicians for no reason, but when it's someone else, they have to get out 🤦.

Basically, it's just the rules of the power players; whoever has the loudest voice makes the decisions.

This is a classic power game; the ones who can speak are always the ones holding the microphone...
