I have to correct my earlier post. It’s not that nobody calls bullshit... It’s that those who do get canceled, bullied, fired, lose tenure, alienate loved ones, etc, etc. And the rest of us sign obsequious hostage videos to keep our jobs...

God help irascible old shopkeepers that can speak their minds...

He is now being accused of sexual harrassment, story is a bit weird.

EDIT: Specifically, a female employee says he asked her to take a picture of her "vagina." I'm not sure a man of his age ever spoke the word "vagina" out loud in his life? Also, supposedly she then offered to take a picture of herself in Star Wars underwear for him, and it's on display in his store? She wanted him to take the picture down, and he didn't? This is all the stuff of lawsuits - why no lawyers weighing in? Maybe they will soon, if there's anything to it. I have my doubts.

I hope he's able to stay safe. TRAs are unhinged and I understand Washington is one of the more insane areas of the US.

But good for him for having the courage to stand up to the powers that be and plainly state the truth.

Wow, that guy is a fucking hero. I wish more Boomers would speak up---I know most agree with this guy but they're probably scared of being cancelled by their brainwashed Gen X and Gen Z kids.

The man's a hero. He's like a downtown Clint Eastwood.

Big hulking dude bullies older man.

Glad you were able to talk to the man and he's getting support.

I love this guy. May we all live long enough not to give a shit about anyone's feelings.

I checked out his website, but they don't have online ordering.

Saw the video, and that man is awesome.

Pretty cool you spoke to him!

I had to submit to signing a hostage video statement just to keep my job.

Can't just throw that tidbit out with no elaboration. Deets?

My state requires you to watch and affirm a long video, ostensibly to prevent workplace sex discrimination/ harassment in order to maintain employment. (In a privately held company!, not a State job.) Of course it’s heavy with trans nonsense that you have to agree with.
