Cancel culture—-ON TOPIC

[DriveInDriveOut]

Oh, I knows. I knows. I'm just a worn-out ol' man what don't do nothin' but tell stories. But they ain't never done no harm to nobody. And if they don't do no good, how come they last so long? This here's the only home I knows. I was going to whitewash the walls, too, but not now. Time done run out.

You're a fan too?
Awesome!

There is a group of people that seek out anything that "offends" them just to further their agenda of being a victim.

Like people that complain about cancel culture?

Everything that we know, or experience is just a huge tapestry that we cannot fully see, because we are too close, or because we bring all of our own baggage to the party. It's complicated.

Actually it isn't.

Thank you Dr. Fauci!

That's one dumas, Fauci that is.
Actually I'd say he was co-opted if it wasn't his true self.
The bastard is highly responsible for where we stand as a people today.

friend that bastard, my opinion.

Looks like they removed two episodes, one had content that MGM owns the rights to (Wizard of Oz) and the other starred a guy who was later convicted of possessing child pornography.

It’s mostly a fantasy problem to keep the right upset. Gotta keep a culture war going at all times.

No, it's real. Since it hasn't affected you yet, you disregard it.

Have you been canceled? Has anyone you know been canceled? I don’t see how limiting access to old racist tv shows is a problem. Society moves forward, things that were acceptable at one time aren’t any longer. That’s just how things work.

No. I haven't been. Yet.

And rational people understand that, and can enjoy things from those time periods in that context, without needing to cry in a safe space.

Unfortunately you radicals aren't rational, and instead demand those things be cancelled.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. By memory-holing things, leftists hope to control the future by controlling the present by controlling the past. But I'm a nut job for pointing out the objective parallels between what leftists are doing now, and the very apt warnings of Orwell.

Why does everyone love Orwell. Do you guys think he was some type of messiah? He wrote some good books, get over it, not everything is big brother. Not playing racist tv shows is not controlling people’s minds. You can find all the racist content you want online, it’s not hard to find.

money, power, and sex
everything can be traced back to one of these

and Rock n Roll

Disney+ gives ‘The Muppet Show’ an ‘offensive content’ disclaimer before select episodes

“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together,”...

I didn’t post a thread about the “cancel culture” before now because I naively/stupidly thought it would go away. As more and more people and things are being canceled though, I guess it needs its own thread.

For some reason, some people are unable to reason in their minds that things that happened a long time ago are not going to be the same as the current “woke culture” and should be either canceled or whitewashed. The latest thing to be found offensive or “canceled”, is The Muppet Show.

I watched trading places last night and thought to myself I’m shocked this still airs lol

I remember one time in college watching old Popeye cartoons and being shocked how offensive they were. Crazy misogyny and racism.

History is not ours erase.
The voices and actions of prior generations are vital things to know and learn from.
It is pitiful to watch and listen to this generation. They will be remembered as violent racist. The very thing they say they are opposing.
The intelligence has left the building.

They claim it's because we want to "access racist content". Their entire world view is racist, we have racist content shoved in our faces non-stop. What they really want is to shut anyone down who is pointing out their totalitarian goals.
