even before Musk Twitter was a shithole,I thought the cancel culture was just fascist right wingers complaining for not being able to be racist online,then they cancelled one of my favorite youtube creators Lindsay Ellis, she made a video about it it’s fucked up youtu.be/C7aWz8q_IM4?si=eGC5Cx2_UP7bTQh6

CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 11 months agoAnd this right here is why I don’t do Xitter or Tumblr. Getting this worked up over esoteric personal details of D-list podcast hosts is just not worth my time or mental energy. I’m glad there are people like you to keep things straight like you did here, but my god, these keyboard warriors have way too much time on their hands.
Litigating a steanger’s legal troubles isn’t their job. There’s literally a system for that already.

This is my biggest problem with the left. You have to agree with all their opinions. Identify with all their beliefs, or you’re a nazi. J.K. Rowling is a good example. Donated millions of dollars to worthy causes. Huge feminist. Staunch leftist. But disagree with one subject regarding .000001% of the population (T people stuff)? Boom. She’s a bigoted, nazi transphobe.
This is a small example of cancel culture, but there’s this bi-annual video game speed running marathon called Games Done Quick (GDQ). They raise a few million dollars every six months for the Cancer Foundation and Doctors Without Boarders. When that new Hairy Potter video game dropped, not only did GDQ ban that game from participating in their event, they banned ALL Hairy Potter video games.

Shut the fuck up and get out.
This is not your place to tell people to fuck off out of Risa. If you see something bigoted, you know where the report button is. Throwing a tantrum does no one any favours.

No, I don’t think I will.

this is not a left vs right issue, if you had actually bothered to watch the video you’d know that “diet nazis” were glad to take Lindsay Ellis down.
in fact right-wing, fascists will gladly push cancel culture themselves, they mostly don’t care, but it’s another form of power they can abuse.
You have to agree with all their opinions. Identify with all their beliefs, or you’re a nazi.
maybe on the internet, but then you can go outside and touch grass and realize that that shit doesn’t matter.
Boom. She’s a bigoted, nazi transphobe.
I mean, she is a transphobe, she is not just disagreeing with that stuff, she is actively pushing her own shit that’s labelled as TERF. She is donating too.

Clown behaviour. Take a week off.

Exactly. I don’t want to do this shit but if I see someone lying or actively misrepresenting reality then I’m going to point it out.
