But yes, replaceable.
"Ssshhh...just keep quiet, make sure nobody notices you, and you'll be safe"
Of course there isn't....as long as you disagree with/don't like the people who're being cancelled.
We mostly hear about cancel culture from right-wing loons who have TV shows, radio programmes, and lucrative newspaper columns - about how they are being silenced. And their willing audience lap it all up.
Being called out for being a bigot. Suffering the consequences of opinions which liken their hissy fit to one of the greatest moments of suffering the human race has inflicted is not being cancelled.
The only people I regular see complaining about cancel culture are people with opinions based on harming others, either through their words and actions, who want the freedom to continue to hate and harm. No one is being silenced or being cancelled, we thankfully now live in a world where finally people have to face up to their actions. Actions that have, and do continue to, cause suffering in others.
It's a learning moment. And whining about cancel culture is avoiding learning that lesson.
So...which of my opinions are "based on harming others, either through <my> words <or> actions"?
Is it possible that some of your assumptions are wrong?
I don't think that's what this is about at all. It's about having some common sense in regards to what you share with strangers. Especially lots of them.
Its clear this was a warm up for booting Bill Barr too, I would not be amazed to find Kathleen Kennedy using this as an excuse to be an advisor in all things star wars again - noone understands the self appointed Diana Moon Glampers like her.
People get distracted by the finger pointing at the moon, Carano is an ex-MMA fighter "using words good" is not on her CV, she is pointing out the obvious: there is a dangerous division that isn't getting addressed. She's not Hopkins (claiming to be a victim).
It is hard to call, we don't want hard right apologists they've utterly ruined this country for generations. We don't want fascism sneaking in, but ignoring it and denying it only reduces our awareness of its prevalence and allowed people like Farrage and Trump to gain a following.
Shes just an MMA fighter who has lost her job at Disney for mentioning the holocaust.
Then they did the same, calling her a Nazi sympathiser for putting a photo up of that one guy who refused to salute Hitler.
Point is...she was already a target, and it didn't matter what she said because they were looking for something to get her cancelled, and they'd always eventually find one that hit the mark.
This is my exact point about 80% of people on here. If even one person is motivated and looking for a reason, they'll find one. When there are hundreds or thousands of them, it just happens quicker.
Incidentally, the day anybody gets fired exclusively for something they've said on here is the day that this entire forum goes offline.
Cancel culture does exist, Cambridge Analyitica persuaded the African Young voters of Trinidad and Tobago to note vote in protest of a corrupt system, as a result the People's Partnership romped home and paid SCL a large sum of money.
People are mistaking consumerism for activism and are being controlled by a largely anonymous group on social media, like the Republican voters in 2016 fed a lot of disinformation and opinions to further an agenda.
I believe if Carano is a victim of something its challenging the divisiveness of social media, thankfully the goons its given the monitor sash to were on hand to bifurcate from the message around healing division and focus on Godwin law oh no wait they ignored that (a troubling first) and decided that having unpopular opinions is fair reason to demand someone's resignation... I mean it works in government so clearly it should apply to people doing important stuff like making a TV show too.
She's been spoken to before and she's ignored it.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I think that's what did it to be honest, last straw.
In fact, can you define "offence" in this context, and list the problems with what she's supposed to have done with no ambiguity or tortured misreading of her words?
And...can you honestly say that you definitely think this would've happened if she was espousing liberal views in the same way, as opposed to conservative views?
