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.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 minutes ago

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.

It's right here. 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?
