Society/Culture Has cancel culture gone too far?

[Mofra]

Your orange god owns the Miss Teen USA pageant. He bragged about going into the change rooms while they were naked.

That's cool though, because he wasn't wearing a dress

Yeah. If Trump was wearing a dress and grabbed teens by the pussy IT WOULD MEAN ALL TRANS ARE SEX OFFENDERS! But because he was a man with an engorged... wallet at the time it's super cool.

 

[Mofra]

Yes, it has gone too far here:

Wonder if Port would like to cancel West End as well.

Imagine the good fortune of being born in Australia but ending up being born in Adelaide.

Oi

Yes, it has gone too far here:

JHF should have leant into this and negotiated a cut of profits...

Here's a good explanation

Port Adelaide threatens legal action over Jason Horne-Francis-inspired beer

Port Adelaide has taken a dim view of a Queensland-based custom branded beer service's apparent sledge of Jason Horne-Francis, threatening legal action over the release of a special edition brew.

Port Adelaide has taken a dim view of a Queensland-based custom branded beer service's apparent sledge of Jason Horne-Francis, threatening legal action over the release of a special edition brew.

The beer, named '#Icebath Lager', depicts an apparent likeness of Power youngster Jason Horne-Francis who is clutching a beer while sitting in a North Melbourne-themed ice bath. It's a nod to last season when Horne-Francis was dropped by the Kangaroos for, reportedly, refusing an ice bath after the Round 21 loss to Sydney. Weeks later, the No. 1 AFL draft pick from 2021 requested a trade to Port Adelaide, which was granted.

This season, Horne-Francis has been the subject of intense booing from several supporter bases, something Power coach Ken Hinkley has labelled "unfair" and "embarrassing". The booing is likely to be brought into sharp focus this weekend when North Melbourne host Port Adelaide in Tasmania, in what will be the first time Horne-Francis faces his former side...

Here's a good explanation

I didn't get it either, thanks for that. I'd imagine legally they made it a bit obvious who the player on the can was, I'm not sure exactly how it works but you'd have a good case for using a player's likeness without their permission there.

Yeah it all depends on how Jason Horne-Francis himself takes it. No club logos or other intellectual property issues look to be apparent on the depiction, the North Melbourne colours on the ice bath I don't know about, so yeah. The only thing to me is the possible unauthorised use of likeness.

Normal people want their kids to grow up without being subject to endless novel versions of depravity embraced by fringe weirdos. It has always been thus. You wouldn’t understand.

 

[kranky al]

Ergo not cancelled.

Just a little bit of cancel?

 

[evolved2]

Yeah, apparently it’s fine when conservatives do crimes.

I presume DQST doesn't allow alone time between adults and children, so there's no risk. Religious people are often far too trusting of those in positions of authority, so safety measures may be ignored.

Was just thinking that the guy who declared it pornographic must really hit some weird fetish websites.

I am more concerned about the 'test' methodology to reach such a classification. A sort of 'rummage to completion' test.

 

[mr bagcroft]

Challenging to rub one out to that.

Absolutely. I am going to need substances, solitude, and two days off work, and I am even then not promising results.
