| Topic | Seth Rogen doesn't understand comedians who complain about cancel culture |
| ChocoboMog123 05/26/21 8:33:02 PM #248: | 100 posts later, the defense of cancel culture misses the issues, meanwhile the claims against it grasp at every straw to defend people who largely don't need defending against any repercussions whatsoever. Yes, there's problems chasing clout and justice boners over perceived injustices that in no way affect you. But arguing against that only continues to allow harmful assholes to continue harming others. It's no surprise that someone like Weinstein got away with it for so long despite being an open secret. "Cancel culture" is part of an information driven backswing against that power dynamic. Yes, there's problems with it. But if I had to choose between letting serial rapists get off and not being able to make edgy 4ch jokes on Twitter, the latter is obviously preferable. People shouldn't be trying to cancel "cancel culture", they should be trying to find the bounds and make the action itself more responsible. That's why arguments against cancel culture are so routinely met with derision, because they always ignore the benefits of consequences for reprehensible actions. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif ...
