Cancel Culture

It's almost like there's no such thing as cancel culture really isn't it?
 
everyone from desantis to nyt to the dsa support censorship. The difference is how open they are about it, what language they use for it, and what their cultural impact is (which decides how much and where they can convince people they are Good/anti-censorship/etc)





 
Parents rights :) (when the kids are trans and parents don't like it)

Parents wrong! (when parents want their kids to learn)







Unironically - if the GOP tells you that the sky is blue, the best thing to do is to spend 50m and 5 years verifying that it is, before joining their side of the sky colour debate. The "liberal" parents who want to join conservative lawsuits over trans issues are just a part of this bigoted censorship machine.

It’s difficult to describe how 180 this shift in New College policy is. It was an absolute liberal bastion & offensive only to the performative, manufactured outrage right wing. This had to have been the number one scalp for DeSantis et al once he was re-elected.

But nothing will happen to Ave Maria U. just a few more miles down the Tamiami Trail. Ave is what the Hillsdale, etc. kooks want to make institutions of higher learning in this country become.

the original prophecy, never wrong:

there are no good republicans
 


As ever, the right defends the classical liberal value of free speech from the censorious left mob :)
 
Can't even smear faeces on critics these days without losing your bloody livelihood. PC gone mad.
 
Can't wait for our AI overlords to start putting expiry dates on human beings.
The problem with that is that with the amount of shit food most of my American brethren eat they will have consumed enough preservatives to live for hundreds of years. We are the Twinkies of humanity.
 
Publicity for what?

Dwindling sales?

The one, guaranteed way to get people buying a product, is to let ‘certain’ outlets know you’re changing a product because of ‘woke’ reasons.

They’ll then spend weeks spilling bile over it whilst those who digest it all go out and buy in in spades. As an example it’ll be very interesting to see figures for sales of Lilt in the last few weeks.

The change that did it for me was;

"You can have a wonky nose and crooked mouth and a double chin and stick out teeth."

Because it's fine to make fun of people's facial features but don't you dare make fun of the fat bastards plus sized.
 
Said this…




Got this…



So, about 6 months ago he started making bigoted cartoons to deliberately get canceled (and announced this plan on twitter), but apparently since it didn't happen he just had to put the racist suff in his own mouth, not his characters'. Anyway, mission accomplished!
 
Dilbert has been subjected to editorial interference, had cartoons rejected and now a full scale cancelling.

The art has been "censored" because of its content, and now has been completely cancel cultured by multiple publishers because of comments unrelated to the art work.

Surely this must be a case for the free speech brigade.

I imagine it would be if anyone had given a shit about Dilbert for 20 years
 
In 2014, a bright young boy went campaigning for the Republican governor of Texas.
In 2016, still in high school, he volunteered for Ted Cruz for President.
In 2020, he was part of the Trump Council of Economic Advisors. Around this time, he was president of the Princeton College Republicans, joined the Republican party, and published the conservative Princeton paper.

In 2023, the NYT commissioned an article by him:
"My Liberal Campus Is Pushing Freethinkers To The Right".
It described him as "a senior at Princeton."

That rag is not worth the paper it is printed on.
