This whole cancel culture myth

Apothic_Red

I see the Pope was on about it today, must have stopped giving out about pets.

Anyway, I want to address this myth that there's a secret body of Internet warriors who can destroy a career on a whim if someone offends their collective sensibilities.

How is this power exercised as I'm having trouble thinking of any examples where someone was "taken down" by this wave of righteousness.

Last time I looked Harry Potter books were still selling like hotcakes, Father Ted was on constant loop & Billie Jean was on all major playlists.

Can anyone share an example where someone, outside criminal behaviour, has actually been "cancelled".

Can anyone define what being cancelled actually entails.

Nice attempt at gaslighting. Yet its all out in the open. But you do have to leave your bedroom to experience things....

Can’t believe how many people weren’t intelligent enough to even get that joke by Carr.

Something I don't get is when say someone becomes famous. Be it a singer, actor, TV personality whatever. Why is there old social media still out there? Delete it all.

If youre famous on the pigs back making good money don't talk about things as well. Don't tweet your political views or talking about transgendered issues or whatever.

Throw up that picture of him from the RTE Guide where he's got a big bulge in his pants if your shtick is Marty pics.

De Santis trying to prevent discussions around sexual identity in Florida schools.

That can only end well.

Can you please provide a proper link to this instead of a pic.

Btw, there is no such thing as sexual 'identity'. Sure, sexual 'orientation' is a thing.

Google is your friend

Sexual identity is how one thinks of oneself in terms of to whom one is romantically and/or sexually attracted. Sexual identity may also refer to sexual orientation identity, which is when people identify or dis-identify with a sexual orientation or choose not to identify with a sexual orientation.

not really, just wondering would that cover something like a married man having a Grinder account, hooking up with guys, or having a long term boyfriend, but 'identifying' as straight

So, sexual identity is sexual identity or it's not sexual identity, whatever you prefer.

Makes sense.

The Gypsy Moth has been renamed Spongy Moth, they're also looking for a new name for the Gypsy Ant, possibly the itiner-ant?
