I will never understand how Chris Brown continues to have a career. 'Cancel culture' would have been totally justified in this particular case. Consumers are idiots

The thing about "cancel culture" is it only works on people who have shame and/or actual vulnerability to consequences. Which isn't nobody. But a lot of celebrities can simply choose not to be cancelled, and it works.

Drake has made out with an underage girl who said she was underage into his mic on stage and it just got ignored. Likewise, James Gunn and Dylan Sprouse straight up called out Jared Leto for luring underage girls backstage on Twitter without mincing words and he's still huge.

Yeah, Drake was actually the even bigger eyebrow-raise to me than Chris Brown. I don't know if Aaliyah had a history of domestic violence, but she was definitely preyed on by R. Kelly when she was underage (including him faking her birth certificate in order to marry her). Drake has had a string of incidents that sure do look a lot like grooming!

I'm not sure there's any set formula for who does or doesn't get 'cancelled', but there are several factors. Are the victims also wealthy and famous people? If yes, it's more likely to harm the perpetrator's reputation. Is the person a musician? For some reason the general public has a higher level of tolerance is the person is a musician. How long ago did their scandals happen? Polanski for example happened long ago which gave everyone in Hollywood long enough to pick a side and have an opinion before his crimes were socially unacceptable. To bring it up now would be embarrassing for them, so its just easier to ignore it.

My immediate guess is that, for a lot of people, listening to music is a more passive experience (not sure if that's the right word) than, say, movies or TV. It's easier to brush off "Sure, he beat women, but the music sounds good to my ear holes while I'm driving or cleaning the house" (not being dismissive...I like James Brown's music, for example) as opposed to "I'm staring at this abuser's face for at least an hour".

'Cancel culture' isn't a real thing. Awful people just scream and whine about even the potential to have their horrible actions be acknowledged, let alone suffer consequences for them.

"cancel culture", before it became a thing the nazis stole (like SJW and Pepe the Frog), was a thing only exists for little people, like when a popular twitter or youtube person goes "this random person said something bad (but mostly just annoyed me), destroy them" and a horde of furious teens & tweens or chuds or whatever their fanbase is descend on the person with death threats by definition it cannot happen to a person who is too rich or powerful to be fazed by angry social media dweebs

Though it IS funny that the rich and powerful are genuinely fazed by social media dweebs, the entire chattering class in general has lost their goddamn mind now that the plebs are allowed to call them a moron on the internet

Ironically the biggest example of "cancel culture going too far" that I can think of is when a bunch of right wingers got mad at James Gunn for criticizing Trump, and went digging for some tasteless dumb jokes he had made a decade ago (and already apologized for), and successfully got him fired. Meanwhile, DaBaby goes on stage in front of thousands of people and says a bunch of dumb stuff about gay people completely unprompted, gets backlash, and then whines about cancel culture. That ain't it chief.

Especially with how bad Twitter can amplify stuff, it's really easy for a bad faith interpretation of a mistake (or not even a mistake, just a normal inoffensive statement) to have you get dogpiled by your own side to the point of death threats so everyone can show how good of a progressive they are, with the harassment extending to your friends who refuse to immediately disavow and attack you.

It's a pretty common phenomenon in online communities. Just look at how SA chews up and spits out forum superstars cyclically. Sure some of the old helldumps were well deserved but others took things way out of proportion. I also see the same backlash in other forums and comment sections, where random people seemingly come out of the woodwork to dogpile a dodgy comment. It's kinda interesting to see how primed people are to engage in a war of words over relatively mundane things.

Yeah it's less a new phenomenon and more a side effect of the entire planet becoming one big forum. People used to only get so much airtime and they had to pick and choose what opinions they wanted to put into the world. Now they can just spew everything that pops into their head 24/7 whether it's actually their area of expertise or not.
