basically strip teases.

so basically you are alright watching all sorts of people of all ages play all sorts of violent games, killing killing killing, and thats OK, but a pretty girl wears a bikini and suddenly thats taboo? wtf is wrong with you?

With the benefit of hindsight...

But how much blame can you lay at the feet of a person who cannot legally consent to getting their ears pierced or to smoke cigarettes because they are not fully functioning beings?

Who has been cancelled?

Uh, you might want to read more about Ellis. Turns out he was still doing his thing after he was called out on it. And there are enough women affected by his shitbaggery to constitute a support group.

So he chose to step away? How does that amount to being “cancelled”? And what is the alternative in your mind? And when people choose to stop watching a “YouTube personality” (which I don’t even know why that is a thing) who is a “sex pest and abuser,” that amounts to being “cancelled”? Again, what is the alternative?…

“Movies don’t get non-renewed.” -- I refuse to believe you’ve never seen a movie bait the hook for a sequel that ultimately never came.

Its just a rebranding of PC culture which is SJWism which goes all the way back to Ronald Reagan and the culture war concept.  Its incredibly dumb. 

White grievance portrayed as “cancel culture” by right-wing nutjobs is indeed a myth.

“has some negative implications”

I feel like I’m going to regret this.

Honestly you don’t even have to use a hypothetical nazi firefighter situation, the US police force was right there.

takes advantage of her looks to gain viewers.

The L.A. Times piece is essentially a list of stories about how women were disappointed that they were asked to do nude scenes, Franco was annoyed, rinse and repeat.

Sexism *is* disrespect. The reason it, like other forms of bigotry, gets singled out is that it carries with it a broader disrespect toward half the human race.

If it’s consensual it’s fine though. Lots of people enjoy being roasted. It can be a lot of fun if it’s a private party and everyone knows and trusts each other. Twitch streamers should try to avoid personally insulting viewers if at all possible but the frustration with trolls in the chat is understandable.

I higlhy doubt it. My guess is that the internal investigation found plenty of problems with his management practices, but that would’ve also made CD Projeckt complicit in his bullying. So instead it’s concluded that everything was copacetic, but Konrad Tomaszkiewicz leaves on his own volition with a nice severance…

reread the OP. I never said nothing happened. I said the exact opposite.

I said that I DIDN’T like the MCU calling it “the blip” AS IF nothing had happened.

it looked very much to me they weren’t rebuilding, they were just coasting on fumes. The trashed neighborhood in SF, The baseball stadium, etc...
