When I saw Epsteins face I could have sworn it looked familiar from 90s sitcoms but apparently he was completely off the mainstream radar until his second pedo arrest.


As for people who cancel culture got.... Roy Moore? Al Franken? Roseanne Barr?

Hows C.K doing? Is he at least partially cancelled?

C.K already did quite a few chud jokes just under a layer of "tee-hee wouldn't it be terrible if I actually thought this way." After he got exposed he just dropped the pretense of being woke.

Like sure, but they were a household name in the U.S. until they spoke out against a horrible war that was predicated on a lie and a huge chunk of their rather large fan base rabidly turned on them.

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.

Even then that was only because his conservative backers abandoned him.

Pretty much all the major alt-right figureheads are either trust fund kids or back by rich shitheads.

Counterpoint: Cancel culture is real and the Dixie Chicks are one of the most famous victims of it

isnt it funny how everyone speaks and acts as though "cancel culture" is a left wing thing that the sjws do but the only example of people actually getting canceled, as opposed to people just getting forced to face the consequences of their words, is the time the conservatives cancelled some women for criticizing George W. Bush

Conservatives and Republicans are the biggest hypocrites on the planet, if you haven't noticed. Literally everything they accuse the left of doing is something they are guilty of themselves

Like if I showed you two people, one a fashionable hipster in San Francisco with a perfectly trimmed beard and a nice scarf and pierced ears, and the other a middle aged churchgoing white Republican senator who sponsored anti-gay legislation, and I asked you which one had sex with a man in the last week, you know where the smart money is

endorphins are hormones that activate opioid receptors and the word is literally a portmanteau of "endogenous morphine." the inner tweet is not wrong that hormones can have a narcotic effect.

e: oh, it would be good to have posted the full context. i guess the outer tweet is a trans person and they described their hormone treatments as "awesome" and so this inner tweeter is saying they must be getting high on the estrogen. idiot

Cody Johnston talked about that in the video on the last page. Conservatives whining about "cancel culture" are usually just complaining that they lost high-end gigs or got criticized for saying racist stuff or sexually assaulting people, while they work behind the scenes to actually gently caress up progressive people for speaking out of turn about equality.

Pththya-lyi posted:

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.

Basically they don’t want to de-fang their own argument by lumping in convicted rapists with “innocent people” they’re trying to deflect for.

Also no one ever says Kramer (Michael Richards) got cancelled. Partly because it was before the term but mostly because the same as above, except racist meltdown instead of rape. But I think even he is making a “comeback” - such as it is since nobody really ever paid attention to him after Seinfeld anyway.

Not gonna lie, "getting high on estrogen" seems like it'd be a common way for transwoman to describe the first year of hormone replacement therapy.

So, maybe I'm not fully understanding what cancel culture is, but it seems to me like it's calling out a shitbag as a shitbag, getting them "cancelled", because nobody wants to deal with their poo poo anymore.

Correct but the term "cancel culture" is generally only used by right wing shitbags to refer to people that have consequences as a result of their lovely views and opinions.

"Cancel culture" is the name people with a lot to lose have started using to describe the normal social mechanism of speech and actions having consequences, a mechanism that is amplified by social media and the ability of the little guy to document and broadcast harassment. It's a term designed to defang this mechanism by making it seem like just another recent fad I. E. a dumb thing those hysteric millennials are doing which they will forget about in a week for the next Some Gizmo.
