The Great Hypocrisy of Right-Wingers Claiming ‘Cancel Culture’

[Jason Harvestdancer]

According to this thread and the answers to my question, working to get a person fired and deplatformed is not part of cancel culture.

Interesting.

We just call it being unpopular. People are allowed to stop supporting things and people they don't like, and companies have the right to fire people who publicize their bigotry. It's so weird that right wing free speech advocates would object to either, especially considering the long list of things right wingers have tried to "cancel."

Interesting.

To be fair now, you haven't gotten any responses from people who would be predisposed to use the expression "Cancel Culture" in the context it was coined to describe.

True. Even if they were the type to indulge in it, none of them would actually use the term.

Depends on the reason. If you act like a dick in a bar, expect to be thrown out. If you consistently, knowingly and willingly violate TOS, expect to be deplatformed. This isn't a radical concept. If you are actively trying to get someone deplatformed or fired simply because you are outraged and not their employer, that's character assassination. Cancel culture is a made up phrase fuckwits use when they don't feel as though they should be held accountable for their actions.

Hope that clears everything up.

The definition provided doesn't match the reality observed.

So of the seven actions I listed, none of them are considered part of Cancel Culture?

I feel like you’re trying really really hard to make a right-wing Whinging-Point (it’s not a talking point) part of the left’s vocabulary.
There’s a reason the left doesn’t use the term - because the right wing’s definition (your definitions, above) are both ridiculous and hypocritcally ignored by the right.

So we only hear the word in your own context and it’s nonsense gobbledygook.

So you’re asking, “ So of the seven actions I listed, that the right wing denies they are splortigorking when they do them, none of them are considered part of splortigorking when the left does them?”

And we’re answering, “wut.”

Exactly. The definition of "cancel culture" provided by the right wing does not match the reality observed. They constantly trot out "cancelled" people on Fox News, one of the largest media outlets in the world, which makes it laughable to think that those people were somehow cancelled.

I have complete faith that you will clarify whatever that's supposed to mean without resorting to rumpelstiltskin-esque riddles.

'Jeopardy!' Slammed for Winner's Alleged White Power Hand Gesture

Hundreds of former contestants demand an apology for winner Kelly Donohue's hand gesture, while Donohue says it's all a "terrible misunderstanding"

A Jeopardy! winner's hand gesture from Tuesday night's show has sparked a protest by former contestants demanding an apology from producers.

A group of 467 purported former participants on the show posted an open letter on Medium on Wednesday accusing the syndicated game show's producers of failing to catch what they allege is a white power hand gesture.

On Tuesday, when winner Kelly Donohue was introduced as having won three games, he “held his thumb and forefinger together with his other three fingers extended and palm facing inward, and he tapped his chest," the letter noted.

Keep saying that, you might finally convince yourself.

If cancel culture exists, it's just another word for what people do when they don't like something some famous or powerful person did, AND RIGHT WING FOX NEWS FANS ALSO ENGAGE IN IT JUST AS MUCH OR MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE.

There's a long list of people and things that right wingers have tried to "cancel" when they did something they didn't like. Such lists have been posted throughout this thread and others.

So in other words, "cancel culture" is just a made up word to mean something we already do as a culture only the right wing authoritarian followers among us have an urge to make it seem like only their outgroups engage in it.
