Cancel culture is not a real thing so bulbasaur
I have cancelled you. It's unfortunate it had to come to this...
Oh no how will I survive lol (how do you do the banner thingy tho)
A feature of Boost for Lemmy: "tag user"
It's a feature of some apps, boost, sync, etc
The crazy son of a bitch did it!
RIP
This guy doesn't even know how problematic Bulbasaur is.
Fire the cancel cannon!
Is that like the bass cannon but not as cool
Very problematic I suggest you do some research.
A hater tried to cancel you because Bulbasaur is "problematic," but I'll uncancel you because Bulbasaur is very cute and should be cherished
Of course it is. what are you talking about?
who is someone who has been cancelled?
You can't know them, when the council of awakeness performs the ritual of cancellation, the person is erased from existance, which includes everyone's memories, as if they never existed. Even the number of people who underwent this treatment is unknown, but we estimate trillions.
Several conspiracy lunatics got deplatformed. Trump literally got canceled off twitter, until his buddy Musk bought it back.
After #meToo and before his sentencing, I'm pretty sure Harvey Weinstein didn't do much movie producing either.
Influencers/personalities who don't get into illegal or seditious speech don't usually get deplatformed, so they have the option to stick around through heinous acts and subsequent harassment (e.g. the Paul brothers).
However canceling DOES work against people with, like, any semblance of humanity who can't wall off a continuous barrage of rape and death threats. Lindsay Ellis straight up closed up shop following a harassment campaign over some really stupid shit I can't even remember (she's back on Nebula now, but she's still off YouTube).
you can't say someone like trump got cancelled when he is like fighting for presidency of the largest military cult to ever exist or whatever he's up to these days.
If you want to establish cancel culture as a thing you have to
and
No true Scotsman, eh?
Johny Depp? Dude lost work. It impacted him. He was cancelled.
Kevin spacey is another one. Louis CK. These are people who had work impacted because of alleged behaviors and actions they took.
Not gonna get more nuanced with you about it. It's a real thing. You've been given plenty of examples.
Kevin Spacey, Louis CK, Chris Avellone, Johnathan Depp...
They all had work while fighting thier allegations.
They are all rich and famous, Louis ck is a self confessed sexual harasser.
All of them are still around, rich, and have a platform. Nothing that happened to them is different from past scandals.
Shit Jonny Dep is definitely a shitty abusive person and somehow everyone thinks he's a pure victim because his propaganda campaign was so effective.
Weird, what you seem to call "cancel culture", I would call "consequences for actions"
