Only thing more pathetic than another aging comedian who can’t cope that they’ve fallen behind the times, is the stan who thinks that their bitter complaints is a kind of philosophy.

Cancel culture, one step before the Idiocracy

Beetschnapps ,

Should have also had every moron in that movie repeating the term “cancel culture” with the same ignorance as “brawndo has what plants crave”…

Both just obviously demonstrate the extreme ignorance and idiocy present in whoever says it. Anyone lamenting “cancel culture” is about as educated on the matter as the “doctor” in the film:

Don_Dickle OP ,

Exactly who benefits from the tolerance paradox bullshit. This cancel culture shit is just people whining about being on the wrong side of critical thinking.

It used to be if you were burning crosses, that was considered an unpopular thing and condemned by society. These are the people arguing against that, saying let the crosses burn.

The same people who would call anything less as “cancelling” since apparently they can’t understand anything even slightly more complex. Or maybe they consciously don’t want to…

Some select quotes:

Respectability is a prison and the gates are open and people are desperate to be inside.

You can criticize ideas, but you cancel people. And I think the cancel culture thing… I think it’s the new book burning.

Another friend of mine went, “You need to just right-size this.” (…) She said, “What’s happened here? You told a joke and some people didn’t like it. That’s what happened.” It didn’t seem like that big a deal when you put it like that. And yet, in the moment, sometimes it feels catastrophic.

You can’t have an easy life and a great character.

All of these quotes are in reference to general ideas so far as I can tell – the overall concepts of respectability and “cancel culture”, not specific instances. And I think the interview missed a huge opportunity to dig deeper on these ideas by citing specific examples to start picking at those broad takes.

Cancel culture applies to people who make choices that hurt others and are unrepentant about it. It’s not about the choices; we all fuck up from time to time. It’s about the lack of remorse. That’s what speaks to a person’s true nature. And if a person’s true nature leads them to unapologetically hurt people, then they’re a piece of shit person and I’m justified in wanting nothing to do with them.
