Rightoids are stupid for many reasons, but not realizing how wonderful cancel culture is must be in the top 3.

It's a fire that consumes everyone that's too online with their real name or associates with woke people. They should be throwing gas on it constantly instead of trying to put it out.

For some reason they think a prominent lib is gonna get unfairly taken down and this will somehow make them realize cancel culture is bad. When in reality it doesn't matter who needs to go, they will taste the bus tires either way.

Dude Cancel culture isn't real.

cancel culture is basically klingon promotion for libs. some ambitious lib will fill the open position within a week

Yeah but Cancel culture isn't new. For example when the Iraq War was opposed the Dixie Chix opposed it, Righoids went nuts.

It's not new, of course the phenomenon is as old as humanity really.

What's new is technology that drives this, and allows things that weren't possible in the past. Information moves super fast, it can reach everyone in the world no matter where, every single word, even the most throwaway sentences are recorded if you use your real identity, potentially forever, and anyone can start the witchhunt for the dumbest of reasons, and get widespread support and attention. Not to mention that sites like Twitter are designed to reward slapfights, meltdowns, spergouts etc., which encourages this behavior.

That's why I generally don't like the word "culture" in it, because it's not as much cultural as it is technological.

Very well said. It is also not a bad thing either. Our laws; institutions; and businesses do not have structures in place to act morally. I do agree sometimes people get cancelled when they shouldn't but a lot of people getting cancelled deserve it. Like the Dobrik Twerp or Harvey Weinstein.

It is also not a bad thing either.

It is indeed a very bad thing.

I mean you should not be an rslur, don't use your real name online and don't post too much personal info, but if you genuinely think the concept of someone from the other end of the world screenshotting/recording 1 sentence you possible said years ago and adding "yikes" resulting in you potentially losing your job is good, you're a massive fucking idiot.

I dunno man. I don't have an issue with it. Most people that have been cancelled deserved it. No different than being shunned. Some don't like that franken dude.

Hey you posted something stupid 10 years ago when you were a freshman in college. Sorry you're fired.

Yeah this is definitely good for society. Thank God we can get rid of those problematic former edgy teens.

When the fuck did that happen?

Lol, literally days ago

The fact that you think this is not a possibility means your understanding of cancel culture is either naive or ignorant. Hitchens could generate enough electricity to power the Earth with the rate he is probably spinning in his grave.

It's understandable. A the end of the day it became a business issue. My understanding is she resigned.

I'm going to assume this is just bait at this point.

sure.

If this kind of people didn't exist in a significant amount, cancel culture wouldn't be a thing. Those same people also vehemently deny that it's a thing.

country fans stop liking a barely relevant band when said band takes a political position contrary to its fan base 20 years ago

I'm honestly shocked that Reddit brings this up. They didn't get fired from anything and it was forever ago.

Yeah. My point is they were cancelled. Same thing with Kapernick,

That's not what cancelled is.

And Kap didn't get cancelled he got more famous and got endorsement deals.

Cancelling is relative. People can get cancelled and then uncancelled. That happened with Kap. It doesn't even matter thought most people on the Right, the extreme right are POS. They don't care. Cancelling really applies to people outside of that demo.

Kaep sucked at football tho. He was good at first but defenses learned to beat him and he couldn't adapt to their changes.

Its not really the point.

He wasn't cancelled. He wasn't good enough to start anymore and a backup qb isn't worth the headache

debatable

If you think Kaep was cancelled bc he kneeled then you don't know anything about football. The NFL doesn't care what character issues someone has if they can play well enough.
Michael Vick was accepted with open arms.
Ray Lewis killed a guy and had a HOF career after.
There's tons more examples.
Kaep wasn't good enough

I disagree and I am not interested in debate.

Reddit moment 🤢

person(s) receives harm to their career due to saying/doing something contrary to their fanbase’s views

How is this any different from being “canceled” today?

Those dumb hos were in the popularity business and did something that the people they needed to buy their shit didn't like, so those people quit buying their shit. There wasn't a squad of Blue Checks running around pretending they speak for millions of people pestering companies and making a stink until the spineless corporate saps finally gave in to the peer pressure and did what they were told. Compare that to any recent cancellation and the difference is apparent. Half the stuff that gets people 'cancelled' seem to be having the temerity to say mundane, mainstream with which most people agree. A handful of idiots who make a lot of noise decide shit like "men can't be womyn" and "there is no such thing as a feminine penis" hurts their fee-fees. Big companies and misguided half-wits treat these morons like kids throwing a tantrum and give in to their idiotic demands in the hope they'll get off the floor and stop screaming.

This would not be an issue if we had someone willing to the be the adult and/or "bad guy" and tell people "NO" when when they need to hear "NO."

fans stop buying product because creators of product intentionally shit on them- NOT CANCELED

Unrelated non-customers become aware that some accountant said something and contact person's place of work demanding they be fired- CANCELED

barely relevant band

How dare you disrespect Natalie Maines and crew.

This will not be forgotten.

disliking something is how pubs get other people to do it. Mitch McConnel Could get dems to support literally poisoning puppies by claiming it's a big problem.

It’s like half of all YA published in the last year anyway

They hated her because she told the truth.

Sigh, time for another donation to the Ching Chong Ding Ding Foundation for Sensitive Orientals or whatever.

Didn't she #cancelled CinemaRobert recently? lol

Bobmob is getting its revenge!

That's who it was! The gas lighting guy.

He was Gaslit God damn it!

I can't imagine what she did either but her permanent association with The Nostalgia Critic is surely punishment enough.

Remember when well-known YouTubers @biggestjoel and @thelindsayellis were so casually anti-Asian that their followers tried to get me killed for five straight months and very nearly succeeded multiple times

I know where you're coming from, sister. The last time this YouTuber wasting her grad degree from USC Film School made a comparison of Italian Mob Flicks, a hit squad was sent after me. My life was plagued with car bombs for half a year.

When your entire audience consists of poor angry commies who are funding your lavish Patreon/YouTube bux fueled lifestyle, it’s only a matter of time until you break one of their ever changing social norms and you become the enemy yourself. Hopefully she grifted enough cash out of them to last for a while.

FINALLY!!!!

I don't think I've ever heard of her.

Think ContraPoints, but didn't drop out of school, makes essays about Lawlz's favorite films, was born a Person of Menstruation, and is actually decently insightful.

I'd listen to her insights if she ever talked about anything other than the most cliché Disney shit. Even among mainstream shit her choice of films to discuss is boring as fuck. So the Lawlz comparison is accurate.

born a Person of Menstruation,

is actually decently insightful.

These two things are mutually exclusive. The only time women should be allowed to speak is when they're taking your sandwich order, because Islam is right about women.

You never seen this (gif) [https://giphy.com/gifs/hot-dog-girl-face-JVqeFxl3Qo8]?

The thing I hate the absolute most about Twatter is that when you search something trending, the top 100 results are things like "I don't see why everyone is freaking out. Her takes were bad, but..." Like, n-sluras, I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Same

The fact that no one has brought up this piece of information about her cancellation is proof of this sub’s decline

This sub is the best it has ever been. These are the golden years and you're my golden girl.

HBomberguy must be crushed. He is simping for a crumb so hard.
