Ok, Walt Disney was a racist, why don’t they try cancelling Disney plus then and his other works then? Cherry picking people is the new flavor of they day. Hitler’s work is still for sale too, better get on that 😂
All I gotta say is that a civil war ever pops off again I’ll be collecting scalps just like my ancestors did 😂😂
that's a whole different argument, which you also based on a false premise. if you looked at the FACTS, and just not your silly FOX news narrative, you'd realise that no one 'canceled' dr. seuss, but that a company made a decision (something conservatives usually pretend to be in favour of btw) to pull some of its barely profitable products, based on blatantly racist tropes contained.
right wing outrage culture and victim mentality made a much bigger deal of it than it actually is. dr. seuss is neither banned nor canceled, and no one suggests all of it is bad now. that's alarmist strawmanning.
what the author of the tweet that upset you so much was pointing out is that it's noteworthy that the whole "we're just so concerned about free speech and cancel culture" spiel repeatedly happens when it comes to racist content, while topics the right and christian conservatives generally oppose are often target of ACTUAL cancellation attempts. the point is that
it's not a principled stance, but fabricated outrage to defend bigoted views - so much for "cherry picking" btw.
concerning disney, i'm pretty sure the disney company is not selling those racist cartoons these days. not that disney isn't terrible for a million different reasons...
