Society/Culture Has cancel culture gone too far?

[CM86]

CM86 stands for "chronic meandering".

He thinks he's being incisive but he's just waffling pointlessly. That's his standus operatus.

Someone's having a meltdown.

If only you could respond to what I say, rather than what you interpret of what I say.
You're so strong. Wink wink wink wink.

 

[CM86]

You're doing that all on your own.

Sweet Jesus did all the avoidance already. Why waste your time pretending to engage?

Not sure what to make of this?

Twitter admits bias in algorithm for rightwing politicians and news outlets

Home feed promotes rightwing tweets over those from the left, internal research finds

This is pretty good - touches on a lot of key points.

lol Texas, these RW campaigners are cooked

This thread is such rubbish.

An analysis of power structure and race has been around for a long time; mainly in uni/college. A bunch of right wing racist mother *ers need to keep this white resentment burning, so they get all their idiot minions up in arms about this. They set the agenda, so it's been filtered down here.

And this entire thread is based on a discussion of culture cancel pushed by people who are anything but cancelled. * sake. They're releasing books, pods, docos, TV shows about being cancelled. Use your ******* brains.

meanwhile, in this same country, entire words and discourses are being banned, and yet some halfwits in here still misinterpret critical engagement with cancelling.

a one sentence take out from that video
"You're not automatically right because you are Trans"

Can and should apply to any position/opinion in life

Trans activists haven't shut down Dave Chappelle or his special but i'm sure the protest has shut down hundreds of future criticisms and discussion on anything Trans related.

Oh lol.

There is no shortage of trans criticism bubbling away.

Much to the chagrin of many in this thread, criticism is allowed.

How many other comedians, commentators, journalists, social media influencers etc. wouldn't want to risk pile on by having some jokes or commentary around Trans issues.
Unlike Dave Chapelle, most would have their careers adversely affected

Cancel Culture from a Person Canceller:

Putin rails against cancel culture and suggests teaching gender fluidity to kids is a 'crime against humanity'

Putin, who vies to project a macho image, has been condemned worldwide over his anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric.

That response while shocking isn’t surprising. I think fracture as consequence of “cancel culture” is totally predictable. Have often wondered about the logic of those who adopt it as a tool for change; you can’t meaningfully change those you can’t talk to. Moreover, cutting belonging as means of influencing behaviour, arguably, leads to unified resistance.

Lol there is a frank, open and often misinformed debate about this issue.

What is the issue you see as being discussed?

 

[Pessimistic]

Does the woke industry even employ diverse employees themselves?.as far as I can see they are remarkably narrow in demographic.

and ageism has been quietly dropped from their platform

I was also wondering if only Russians should be able to do ballet or Italians opera

Woke 'industry'?

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Woke 'industry'?

Sky After Dark etc. Commentators like Alan Jones and Bolt who make a living screaming 'woke'.

Yeah like their opinion passes the pub test. NOT!

Doesn't make woke industrious, in fact one could argue that 'woke' is divisive.

What the * is the woke industry?

If anything, its the legion of right wing politicians, media commentators and grifters who rely on mythologising the 'woke' threat for votes, money and subs.

 

[iBeng]

Its self victimization that right wingers love. If it wasnt the woke plague it'd be something else. Its always something. Someone is happening that is making them treated circa the Jews 1940.

 

[Carringbush2010]

What the fu** is the woke industry?

It isn't an industry, there is no known universe that woke - whatever it is - would ever be practical enough to be an industry.

It's just a stupid made up word that somehow is a label for impractical progressive ideals.

It literally means awake. All words are made up, common usage makes them real. That's why the dictionary grows a few words each year.
