Subject: Cancel Culture feels overblown
Written By: NightmareFarm on 03/01/22 at 8:51 pm
People constantly bring it up but I rarely see any celebrities or actors or whatever get cancelled. It seems theres more people complaining about it than actual cancelling. I'm against it but it feels like it's being blown out of proportion and only happens like 1% of the time. I remember when people said eminem was getting cancelled on twitter and nothing happened, in fact it was most people sh**ting over the 1% who were trying to cancel him.

Been saying this for years! You know who has actually been cancelled? The Chicks after speaking against Bush and the Iraq War, but it wasn't called that back then.
There have since been efforts to legitimately cancel real dirtbags like R. Kelly and Chris Brown in the forms of #MuteRKelly & #MuteChrisBrown.

With R. Kelly last year it didn't feel right to listen to his music. Even though 2005 was the throwback year last year, I'd skip over the Trapped in the Closet song and div listen to the TP.3 Reloaded CD even though I really liked the "Happy Summertime" song.

Woody Allen has been cancelled and he was never even convicted of anything! His recent movies could find no distributor in the US, HBO cancelled their deal with him, and the publisher of his autobiography went back on the deal because employees of the company staged a walkout (don't they have anything better to do?). Granted he found another publisher, but he shouldn't have had to go through that. He is basically ruined any way you look at it.
Anybody who thinks cancel culture isn't happening has their head in the sand. People are even cancelling THEMSELVES. That's how entrenched it has become in the consciousness of people who are into it. Jessica Krug, a white, Jewish tenured professor at George Washington University, posed for years as a Black woman (apparently several different types of Black women) "Jess LaBombalera". When she was found out, she cancelled herself:
"To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness. I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so...I believe in accountability. And I believe in cancel culture as a necessary and righteous tool for those with less structural power to wield against those with more power. I should absolutely be cancelled. No. I don’t write in passive voice, ever, because I believe we must name power. So. You should absolutely cancel me, and I absolutely cancel myself. What does that mean? I don't know."
-https://medium.com/@jessakrug/the-truth-and-the-anti-black-violence-of-my-lies-9a9621401f85
Now this may seem ridiculous, and it IS, but the fact that Krug "cancels" herself and then ends her statement with "what does it mean? I don't know" shows not only how entrenched the concept of cancellation is in the minds of some, but how abstract it is as well. Granted, it is not MAINSTREAM AMERICA who is doing this, but a smaller group whose voices are amplified due to the modern miracle of social media. Hollywood (again, a small group with an amplified voice)is doing it left and right and they, for better or worse, often set the tone of things.

Algebraic or logicly speaking:
cancel culture - cancel = culture ?

I find that lately the people who complain the most about cancel culture are the ones doing the canceling.

John Lennon was very fond of quoting something Harry Nilsson said. "Everything is the opposite of what it is". :D

If you’re talking about Popedia, no offense but you actually did deserve that one. Just calling it like I see it.

Chris Brown has never been cancelled. Every time his name comes up about some rude act, his record sales get a boost.

Well known mentally unstable person Kayne West also seems to be made of Teflon when it comes to not being cancelled. I'm not sure why. The guy has no redeeming qualities and he harrasses people.

West's new music video, which boasts the message “Everyone lived happily ever after except Skete,” was released just hours after Kim Kardashian was declared legally single in court.

Ray-J knew how to put Kanye in his place, when Ray put out his diss track, “I Hit It First”. ;D

West puts out a video of a public figure (Pete Davidson) being decapitated and nobody says anything. When unfunny comedian Kathy Griffin crudely posed with a decapitated head effigy of Donald Trump she was cancelled and basically remains cancelled to this day. Granted, Pete Davidson isn't President of the United States, but still.
And I'm not even sure why a young man like Pete Davidson wants a middle aged, heavily plastic-surgeried woman like Kim Kardashian who is over ten years older than him anyway. Or, if you want to look at it from the other side, what does she want with a schlub-like, obvious stoner like him? I once heard him described by a female comedian (probably a disgruntled ex) as "a pile of old sweatshirts". ;D How does he get so many woman perceived as "glamorous"?
;D That's my gossip column about meaningless things for today. ;D

That's what Arianna Grande said he had. But he said she set him up because she made it sound like such a big deal that now all woman he dates are bound to be disappointed. Very clever of her. ;D
Pete Davidson seems like a cool guy and he doesn't deserve to be harassed by unstable has-been (and definitely NOT cool guy) Kanye West.

Just dawned on me. Kanye could come out with a hit record called “I Hit It LAST”. ;D
