One that springs to mind is James Gunn for the old edgelord tweets, but he ended up getting his job back. Another one people could argue is maybe Kevin Hart, but his apology for the homophobic bit was pretty wishy washy.
Any others where the public scorn could be seen as an overreaction and resulted in someone losing a gig?

Roseanne Barr for one. Didn't Chris Hardwick get fired from something for false accusations? Did Aziz Ansari, Mel Gibson, or Liam Neeson face any repercussions? All these stories blur together to me.
Even if they didn't lose their jobs, or were completely innocent, the accusation sticks forever.
On the topic of SNL and diversity, hire the funniest, no matter what their background. When they were under attack for having no black female cast members, they immediately hired Sasheer Zamata, one of the more unmemorable, unfunny cast members I've seen. If that's what we want, let's fill the entire cast with Sasheers and not laugh for 90 minutes.
Are other countries in the world going through this or is this just America and Canada?
