Dude, just post about unisex bathrooms. Njaguar will happily take you up on this request.

I got a three week ban for that.

I weirdly had my JSP password "coincidentally" changed over it.

I anticipate that I'd receive a promotion.

lmfao. snitches are now being permitted in mainstream life (ie: middle to upper-middle class, mostly privileged lefty domains, industries, and neighborhoods)

these groups forgot the lessons from kindergarten that no one likes a tattletale. and i agree its sad these groups have nothing better to do with their miserable lives


it’s mainly lefties canceling lefties right now my friend. and ease up with the slurs theres a lot of sensitive people trolling this subforum (not me, I dont like slurs but i dont try to police other people’s posts)

i mean come on the pale pasty privileged lefty hordes are descending on the minority playwright who wrote the play Hamilton right now. the guy who went on stage to lecture VP Pence is being targeted as “being a racist who enables the slaveholders”

as if everyone didn’t know the plot of Hamilton’s real life lmfao

anyways popcorn.gif to all

^handcuffs

to your OP the cancel culture like most movements in our lifetime started with good intentions (“lets put pressure on truly hateful people to stfu”) and unfortunately (and predictably) morphed into a frankenstein known as “anyone i don’t agree with needs to be burned at the stake”

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right

But has this actually happened in meaningful ways?

There's only been one person that I felt sorry for. He was involved with hate groups as a teenager then got out, went to college, and was a CEO or something. He got fired because what he did at 17 came out.

Other than that, literally nobody I've felt sorry for after looking into it. It doesn't help the right's "cancel culture is bad" cause when the champions of their movement are Alex Jones and similar people who constantly break the TOS of every platform they are on. They could be an effective countering force if they only focused on rational cases.

And if Cancel Culture is really a phenomenon, then at best it only holds enough power to truly affect those without power. It's a big irony that so many people in this Harper's letter are immeasurably successful. Even though JK Rowling has been "cancelled" some 15 times now, she's literally swimming in eternal millions.

Cancel culture is toxic, a cancer that's metastasizing through our society and must be stopped, or it will consume everything. Therefore, I fully agree with the letter and appreciate that its signatories are finally addressing it.

I also don't think it's hypocritical that these elites are the ones speaking out - their position of power and privilege is the exact reason why these people can afford to speak out against toxic cancel culture without having to fear career-ending retribution. They are, in a sense, throwing their weight in the line of fire because they can take it, and are thus shielding all the other, lower-status persons who feel the same but lack the power to stand against cancel culture on their own.




Now, it is of course hypocritical that these leftist elites are speaking out now that cancel culture is increasingly stiffling debate within their own circles while they remained silent or were even supportive when conservatives were targetted. And yes, in earlier decades, authoritarian consevatives were pushing their own version of cancel culture, so they definitely aren't free of guilt. The bottom line imho is that cancel culture is indeed toxic and must indeed be stopped. The focus should not be on past transgressions and past guilty behavior, which we can really find in every corner of the political and ideological spectrum - no, the focus should instead be on looking forward and finding a way to have open, honest and productive debates from here on out, in spite of an increasingly polarized landscape.
