cancelled?

“Can­cel Cul­ture is a bull­shit moniker made up by peo­ple who need to la­bel con­se­quence. Pub­lic sham­ing goes as far back as the dawn of man.
Plus the very idea of ‘can­cel­ing’ some­one is stu­pid. Even if you kill them, the work they did still ex­ists, and peo­ple who ap­pre­ci­ate it will con­tin­ue to engage.
No one has ever tru­ly been ‘can­celed.’
Rock and Roll Part 2 con­tin­ues to be played at sport­ing events and in film soundtracks.
You can still find films di­rect­ed by Vic­tor Sal­va.
It’s not some­thing that ex­ists. Talk­ing about it gives some peo­ple the false il­lu­sion of veto pow­er over things they can’t con­trol, and oth­er peo­ple get to play vic­tim or – worse – be­lieve they have a ‘cause’ to protest, which they don’t, since they can usu­al­ly dry their tears over lost fans with a stack of hundreds.”

In hind­sight, we all got played hard by Dave Chappelle.

He walked away from his own in­sane­ly suc­cess­ful show be­cause of a sketch he didn’t agree with do­ing and hid from the spot­light for years un­til he got grossed out by trans­gen­der peo­ple and de­cid­ed he need­ed to say some­thing about it.

That’s it. That’s lit­er­al­ly what hap­pened. Dude is a piece of shit and maybe al­ways has been.

The les­son is that there is no such thing as “can­cel cul­ture” the way these dudes try to say there is.
