Baker has been fired from the show following deprecatory comments aimed at country legend Dolly Parton and her support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Baker had been voicing the main character\u00a0Early Cuyler on the Adult Swim cartoon since its debut in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-August, Baker made several deliberately offensive, slur-encrusted posts on Facebook after apparently just discovering that famous humanitarian <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/dolly-parton-heartstrings-netflix-songs-meaning\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dolly Parton<\/a> was a humanitarian. Among comments insulting her appearance, he added &#8220;remember, sl*t, Rednecks made you a Millionaire!&#8221;\u00a0After noticing that consequences have actions as his fans began unfollowing him and Facebook began removing the offending posts, he doubled down with gems like &#8220;HAVE FUN forsaking your own race, culture and heritage,&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry to hear that all of you Liberals careers are going down the sh*tter,&#8221; shortly before being fired from the show.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/cyberpunk-2077-black-lives-matter\/\">Cyberpunk 2077 Not Influenced By Black Lives Matter Movement<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After a weekend of <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/avatar-fans-list-of-demands-petition-live-action\/\">fans biting back<\/a> at Baker and defending Parton, <em>Squidbillies<\/em>&#8216; creators Jim Fortier and Dave Willis announced his termination on August 16th via the show&#8217;s official Twitter account.\u00a0\u201cThe views he expressed do not reflect our own personal values or the values of the show that we and many others have worked hard to produce over the past 15 years,&#8221; the post said, &#8220;for those reasons, production of <em>Squidbillies<\/em> will continue without Mr. Baker, effective immediately.\u201d No further comments have been made concerning\u00a0Early&#8217;s\u00a0 fate on the show, so it&#8217;s currently unknown whether the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/mad-max-fury-road-furiosa-charlize-theron-recast\/\">character will be recast<\/a> or simply removed altogether.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squidbillies\/status\/1295120819870367745\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The humor of <em>Squidbillies<\/em>, a show featuring a family of talking squids living in Georgia, revolves around being a parody of some less-than-charitable southern stereotypes, with Baker&#8217;s former character\u00a0centered as the family&#8217;s abusive, alcoholic patriarch. With the show openly playing those qualities for laughs, many fans were surprised to see him lash out the way he did. Even among the most conservative voices in entertainment, it&#8217;s pretty widely accepted that support of the Black Lives Matter movement and <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/assassins-creed-valhalla-creative-director-ashraf-ismail-fired-ubisoft\/\">other civil rights issues<\/a> is quickly becoming the more mainstream viewpoint, so it&#8217;s difficult to discern what Baker expected would be the result of his very public outburst.<\/p>\n<p>Dolly Parton hit the news earlier in August with her outspoken support of the Black Lives Matter movement, saying, &#8220;of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!&#8221; While those familiar with her humanitarian work were likely\u00a0not surprised by this, it was still nice to hear it out loud. There&#8217;s a new civil rights movement in 2020, and it seems to be showing people&#8217;s true selves, with some <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/deadly-premonition-2-director-apology\/\">using the criticism to better themselves<\/a>, and others&#8230; not doing that.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are people complaining that Baker&#8217;s termination, along with other similar situations, are violations of free speech. In response to that, it&#8217;s very much worth mentioning that freedom of speech only protects people from being arrested by the government for what they say. Being fired from a cartoon squid show is absolutely not that.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/owl-houses-luz-bisexual-character-disney\/\">Yes, Luz from Disney&#8217;s The Owl House Is Bisexual<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2020\/tv\/news\/squidbillies-stuart-baker-unknown-hinson-dolly-parton-black-lives-matter-1234737440\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Variety<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-country\/dolly-parton-black-lives-matter-1044200\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rolling Stone<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brutalcountry\/status\/1294098886617858049\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@brutalcountry\/Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>&#8216;Squidbillies&#8217; actor Stuart D.
