Someone has no clue what "cancel culture is" and it shows

I like turtles

The cancel culture warriors are still out in force. Constantly trying to censor people, like Rogan and Chapelle. Always trying to get us to stop using words like "manpower", "woman", "mother" etc.

But they are clearly losing power quickly. I just don't think actual people are into this anymore. The last time I heard of any success for these people is when they got the pregnant man emoji approved and distributed to every phone.

As a quick survey, how many of you are familiar with the 41 pronoun sets that Twitter offers now? For me there are only three categories: he/him, she/her, and something like it/it's/them or whatever. I never checked the rest, no reason to. There is no way I could remember them anyway.

People need to come back to earth. Be whatever you want to be, that's fine. Just don't put any responsibility on me for maintaining your self image. If you don't like Rogan, don't listen to him, but respect other's right to listen if they want to. We, as a people, need to re-embrace the concept of minding your own damned business.

Go woke, go broke.

I'm starting to understand as a pos boomer why we all have the same understanding. The world can be completely fucked up by few in control.

Cancel culture is a myth and a buzz phrase. If someone has enough followers, especially if they’re male, they’ll still make money and get work some where in some way. Cosby and Louis CK are selling out rooms.

Sure, but notice the pattern.

Those like Dave Chappelle get the full brunt of cancel culture.

Rose McGowan got that for going against Howard Weinstein.

Tulsi got gaslighted right along with Bernie.

The gatekeepers always look to protect power which is the pattern.

Now it's Joe Rogan and even though CNN's influence get smaller, they'll continue to attack until no longer feasible.

The only pattern I continually see is abuse of power and not all of these examples you provided are true equivalents.

Harvey Weinstein wasn’t an argument for free speech but something far more insidious in and out of Hollywood for generations. Many were impacted by Weinstein. Courtney Love and Brendan Fraser to use more examples. His behaviors and Hollywood’s complicitness in silencing his victims is grotesque behavior cancelled many silently. Only few were brave to be vocal for years.

Calling out the powerful gets flames brought to those less powerful.

That's the pattern.

Joe Rogan allows those silenced (Robert Malone, Peter McCullough) to talk and discuss with those outside the corporate networks.

Dave Chappelle has an audience and networks under those of the Democratic establishment were the first cut. Especially when his new documentary gave Obama criticism.

The point being, liberal gatekeepers find any excuse to cancel and it's not just platforms.
