Cancel culture don’t real.
Also, everyone will try to get you fired or deny charity money for kids with cancer over shit you say, but that’s totally cool because it doesn’t always work.
Just because there are high profile exceptions doesn’t mean that people don’t try that shit at every opportunity. How many bar complaints has Nick Rekeita gotten again? Dankula has literally been turned down from jobs the second the interviewer recognized him.
The problem with cancel culture isn’t based on its results, although I’d argue that its impact is greater than this asshole is admitting. The issue is that people seem to be okay with the idea of someone having their life destroyed for the things they say, and with stunning regularity, enough people feel strongly about it to actually contact places of work, or business prospects, or resort to actual court-defined harassment over words or deeds that offend them. Which, I might add, are often grossly misinterpreted or outright lied about to begin with.
That’s not even touching the chilling effect it has, or the disturbing idea that is being pushed (and tried in some cases) of you not being able to access your fucking money if you have the wrong thoughts.
So fuck you, discount Charlie Day. As someone pointed out earlier, you’ll be singing a different tune once your decade old shit gets dug up.
Also, what the fuck is has caused everyone to buy into the insanity that someone middle age or younger is even remotely the same person they were a decade ago? I’d love to go punch that version of me in the face and set a few things straight, and yet, there are people who insist that those mistakes are the entirety of who I am today. Even from a non-political standpoint, that idea is fucking exceptional.
