Lindsey Ellis comparing Raya and the Last Dragon with Avatar: The Last Airbender
I always thought that Pee Wee’s exile for spanking it with a bunch of other guys in a porn theater was pretty performative. It was the suits at CBS that kept trying to turn his adult material into a kid’s show in the first place. It was fine for them to snap back to reality and reconsider his audience, but blacklisting him from everything was too far.
I agree. It would have been a great opportunity for him to recast himself as an adult. Just like Rowan Atkinson doesn’t need to be Mr. Bean.
It sucks that this is a question that has reasonable answers for it that has to get nuked because lemmy is full of censorous slime, who are self-conscious of their own censorous nature. Mean while they have posts on the front page pointing fingers of censorship at others.
The Red Scare and Lavender Scare both seemed really lame. I vote those.
People don’t get cancelled. They get exposed for the horrible people that they are.
So you just blindly believe it every time?
Still waiting for all those examples of people who didn’t deserve it.
I believe some examples in no particular order might be:
- Brendan Fraser: basically ousted by Hollywood after accusing someone of sexual assault.
- Central Park Five: should be obvious.
- Terry Crews: I think he was mainly treated poorly by certain parts of Hollywood after being open about sexual advances or something.
- Peter Norman: supported the 1968 Olympics civil rights salute and was effectively made a pariah in his career for it.
- Howard Dean: apparently getting a little too excited is apparently political suicide, but not wanting to grab your daughter by the pussy.
- Sinead O’Connor: being honest about Catholic abuse is apparently a no-no.
Now some of those are more being canceled by the elite, but still.
lol proves the contrary point better than I could have
It’s right here. In this thread. Top comment. Pee Wee Herman.
Always needing examples and evidence. Eyes always shut to examples and evidence.
So let me get this straight, every mob is right every time? This is your actual belief?
Pee Wee Herman.
i posted that, dillweed. back the fuck off with your rhetorical getting-in-my-face and behave yourself.
Nope.
