That said, is this an example of cancel culture, or how vulture capitalists have figured out how to wield the internet as outrage-doling Skinner boxes because facts are secondary to keeping content and clicks churning?

Basically, until Mel Gibson, Kevin Spacey, et al (a depressingly long list) are on a street corner begging for change, that’s proof that cancel culture doesn’t exist.

she’ll move on from this and be fine

I’ll buy cancel culture as a real, pervasive force the day Mel Gibson (or really, pick from a long list of walking pond scum) either is finally forced to stop working, or shows real contrition.

• The left creates a term to discuss a real issue.

The way I see it... The right wing echo chamber has created a myth about “cancel culture” being some organized conspiracy all the liberal elites in the media and universities are engaged in. That’s what I think of when I hear “cancel culture doesn’t exist.” Because there’s no “conspiracy”, it’s a social trend.

So, yeah, ultimately CaNcEl CuLtUrE isn’t the big scary boogeyman it’s made out to be because enough people are perfectly rational and can figure out if someone did something that deserves consequences.

You write for a website (and family of websites) that just tried to paint someone as a racist because in 1999 at age 19 her parents made her go to a ball that had started allowing Black people to join an insufficient amount of time (20 years) prior to that.

Django Unchained and Hateful Eight were both great.

Very bizarre for this writer to just assume a muted response to Django Unchained. It’s to this day his highest grossing movie, received great reviews from critics, is second only to Pulp Fiction as his highest rated film on IMDb, won him an Oscar for Original Screenplay, and is arguably his all-around most popular and…

To be fair, Tatiana used to write pieces for VICE, who was cofounded by Mr. Proud Boy himself. So I mean, using her logic, she’s super racist too. 

Bit rich coming from the pasty AV Club of all places

Welcome to: When Reposting Twitter Drama Goes Wrong - AV Club Edition.

You know, AVC, you can’t regularly call Twitter a shitty hell website and then give in to its worst tendencies constantly.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

“At that age [19], teenagers are mature enough to know what they’re being part of.”

The Atlantic reported in 2014 that the Veiled Prophet Organization barred Black and Jewish people from joining.

I’m surprised AV Club went with this take when even the comments section of The Root went “Eh, this is stretching it.”

In all the many years of Disney princesses finding their princes, not once did any of those princesses choke on a big fat cock on screen, and yet their sexuality and relationships were still blindingly obvious.

Honestly, I want to know how many times Disney THEMSELVES have actually announced these characters as their “first gay characters”. Every time this happens and you follow the articles to the source, it generally ends up being either a commentator, like a columnist or a reviewer or a twitter person, declaring it the…
