cancel culture

Any excuse good enough to cancel someone's contract early. Howard Stern, Don Imus several other stand-up comedians and even Morton Downey jr have said enough racist, sexist and bigoted comments that easily would have had them removed off the air today. Yet for some reason then it was ok, I guess because people then didn't pretend that there was no 1st amendment?

As far as the Dixie Chicks are concerned, they lost their contract because they catered to the people who put George W. into office and their fan base dropped them. Look at Kanye, he supported Trump and low and behold virtually most his flock left him.

Many of you should take heed of this because essentially large corporations as was predicted are now over shadowing the first amendment and pretty soon if you make a comment that's not offensive but they don't agree well your in tyranny.
If Charlie Sheen said something offensive in the new millennium, it wouldn't have mattered because two and a half men had such high ratings cancel culture wouldn't have been a factor.

Aaron Rogers shouldn't have to apologize to anyone. Really you going to let cancel culture going to fire Aaron Rogers.

Cancel everything

You would think the Indians would have Thanksgiving shut down for being a racist holiday, yet they show up at the parade held on land that was taken from them and they don't have the city/county shut the parade down because it traumatizes them to watch it. The country has a fucked up history, but once you start to allow any attempt to shed light on history by talking about all sides of it, (that includes the Confederate side, and the side of the original slaveowners, the founding fathers like George Washington and James Madison) you end up trying to keep people in the dark about it by having everything cancelled that doesn't agree with what you think history should have been like, in a past where everything and everyone was wonderful and decent, and history was never like that because people are human and not inherently good (or bad). People are people, they always have been fucked up.
People nowadays think that somebody owes it to them to cancel everything they don't like, even if somebody else might learn something from it. It's one thing if you want to cover your own kids eyes and ears everywhere they go, it's another thing to tell everybody ese they have to do the same things the same way you do.

Cancel Culture

Essentially, jumping on the bandwagon and being a mindless sheep while one person is trying to disprove something that someone else has said.
1: Did you hear that X (Celebrity) has called Y out?
2: Nah, it's just lies.
And then, the entire crowd jumps on one of them,
thus, Cancel Culture.
