TinTin was a big part of my childhood, it's a great cartoon. It's also extremely racist.

Spiked blocked me since I posted it, I have no idea how since I never interacted with any of their posts on twitter at all.

There might be something to it.

 
Well, if we are going to embrace Cancel Culture we might just send the whole royalty into a shooting squad, since they are the descendants of people who did despicable tings, bla bla bla
 



The donors, both prominent and deep-pocketed, are Nicholas F. Brady, a former U.S. Treasury secretary under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and Charles B. Johnson, a mutual fund billionaire and leading Republican donor who in 2013 made a $250 million donation to Yale — the largest gift in its history.

Days after the 2020 presidential election, Professor Gage said, an opinion article in The New York Times by another instructor in the program calling Donald J. Trump a demagogue who threatened the Constitution prompted complaints from Mr. Brady.
Four months of wrangling over the program later, Professor Gage resigned after the university administration informed her that a new advisory board it was creating to help oversee the course under previously ignored bylaws would be dominated by conservative figures of the donors’ choosing, including, against her strong objections, Henry A. Kissinger, the former secretary of state under President Richard M. Nixon.

prof plays a film with blackface in it. annoyed (white) student writes angry screed with a list of grievances absolutely 100% unrelated to the video or racism generally. then another prof tags funding agencies in a twitter thread about it!

Conservatives weaponized the terms "woke", "CRT", "cancel culture" to try to shut down any argument they don't like. The truth is, everydoy tries to cancel opinions they don't like, it always existed and always will.

Its just a new term for blacklisting. I presume to make it seem a new phenomenon that needs to be resisted as opposed to a standard of any community or society
 
Meh, does it actually exist ? Surely it's the rule of market forces that the right have been decades angling for. The social networks blocking Trump was just them protecting their brand.
 
I find cancel culture is alive and well on twitter at a time were it has been largely blunted on the caf.
 
I actually think the whole cancel culture debate is meant to be about something else, which is "mob activity" to get someone fired or deplatformed. And often this has no results so it looks like nobody really got cancelled.

I also think most of the outrage about cancel culture isn't concerning celebrities, but ordinary workers getting fired.

NBC 7 spoke to the man who originally posted the picture on Twitter. He has since deleted his account and said he may have gotten "spun up" about the interaction and misinterpreted it. He says he never intended for Cafferty to lose his job.
