We are not forced to watch the show, and if they suffer lost revenue because people choose not to watch or advertise in future due to this incident: that's how business works. I think it would be stupid, but they have the right to do it.Īt the same time, we as the audience, the "paying customer," if you wish, have the right both individually and separately to respond to their actions.
#Forged in fire season 1 tv#
Forged in Fire is a TV show and the production company has every right to decide what is and isn't appropriate for their audience.Īt the same time, just as Forged in Fire could have refused to put him on the air, they could also choose to run an All-Nazi special to commemorate the anniversary of the Nuremburg Rallies. While it can be argued that it's political speech-albeit hateful-Forged in Fire is not the political arena. Now for anyone saying that it's free speech and they shouldn't have done anything about it that's not the case. His own behavior in covering up the double-sig tattoo and trying to cover the totenkopf implies that he was aware of these consequences and did not want to suffer them. At the same time, that right comes with consequences one of which is that other people have the right to judge him by what tattoos he bears.
To start with, and this is speaking as a person who shares a name with an uncle who spent the War in a Nazi POW camp I believe Brandon Rader has the absolute right to those tattoos. There's a lot here to unpack, with potential issues including everything from freedom of speech to common decency.
