Aesop Poprock posted:I haven’t watched the show, what’s she wrong about? Are there female characters in it? One of the Mandalorians is a woman, and is implied to be the leader of a Mandalorian colony. If not the leader then at least a highly respected member of it because she runs a forge. I guess if you watched it with subtitles and sound off you could miss it because she wears a full body armored suit that isn't boobplate but she would be hard to miss if you actually watched the series Edit: goddamnit those weren't there when I hit post I swear

They are so invested in "get woke go broke" nonsense. EL BROMANCE posted:There’s one female character in a short scene in the first episode, who was a bit more featured in the latest. Still only been one character so far, but we know from casting there’ll be at least one featured character. Having not watched it myself yet, Gina Carano's character is also getting a huge push on the merch side that's basically equal to the Mandalorian. So hopefully she'll be pretty much equally featured as the season goes on. It wouldn't be the first time Anita kind of jumped into something. I like her, but she can have some hot takes that she won't let go.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:They are so invested in "get woke go broke" nonsense. I always liked Carano from her fighting days so really looking forward to her turning up. Also I think the first 3 episodes work nicely together as a big chapter, despite not knowing what comes next. I wish I’d watched them as one.

wizzardstaff posted:A charitable interpretation is that it describes people's capacity to pile on a public figure and tear them down for a perceived slight, stripping away nuance in favor of righteous fury. Applied right, it's people jumping at Louis CK for jerking off in front of a bunch of people who didn't want him jerking off in front of them Applied wrong, it's noted domestic abuser and sexual battery committer Mike Cernovich getting James Gunn fired from GotG3 (temporarily) for decade old twitter jokes.

It's worth noting that public shaming is as old as the hills. Cancel culture just feels new because social media gives us a way to broadcast and amplify our hot takes.

There was that YA author who got targeted by somebody else who quoted lines from their book out of context and whipped up a storm of rage about how supposedly racist their book was, but I'm not sure if that's the same thing.

I feel like cancel culture is only a problem when famous people use it to punch down at nobodies. Rich celebrities and thinkpiece writers getting canceled by the rabble doesn't worry me - as others have already pointed out, their wealth and fame let them bounce back easily.

Is going to jail for a crime “cancelled?” I don’t think it is. I’ve never seen anyone refer to Bill Cosby or Jared Fogle as “cancelled.” I think the biggest example of actual cancelation is Milo Yianopolous. He actually lost his gigs, didn’t get to go around to sympathetic shows to talk about how persecuted he is, his former fans have memory-holed him, and is currently living off Jacob Wohl’s table scraps to avoid bankruptcy.

Dr Christmas posted:Is going to jail for a crime “cancelled?” I don’t think it is. I’ve never seen anyone refer to Bill Cosby or Jared Fogle as “cancelled.” I disagree. Public opinion has definitely turned against Cosby and Fogle. The only reason we wouldn't say those men are "cancelled" is because "I hate convicted sex offenders" is a bog-standard opinion that people almost never criticize.

Jeffrey Epstein isn't a famous person. He's literally only known for being a sex trafficker with connections to powerful people, and even then most people only know that because of his getting arrested a second time.
