| Topic | What actually happens when you get cancelled? |
| Zeus 09/19/20 4:06:53 PM #17: | TaKun782 posted... You become blacklisted. Like fucking Woody Allan. It sucks when people don't investigate facts and only thrive off of what he says she says bullshit. lolwut? Woody Allen sexually molested a girl under the age of 10 and, because he was famous, the DA dropped the case rather than investigate it and bring it to trial. And because the DA chose not to investigate the facts, Woody Allen had a successful career afterward instead of suffering any potential repercussions. Even Roman Polanski had *some* repercussions. kangolcone posted... Its a very brief period of time where the public reviles you for something you did wrong, then you get to complain about it on four major tv networks. Cancel culture is very real and your remark is very racist. kangolcone posted... See, and this is how you can tell that cancel culture doesnt exist. Woody Allen directed 8 movies, a play, and wrote a book in the last decade. The majority of his movies were produced by Sony or Amazon. aka "Cancel Culture doesn't exist because a guy didn't suffer repercussions decades before Cancel Culture was a thing!" If Woody Allen was simply accused of doing what he did today, he would likely have never worked again even if the DA didn't pursue an investigation. kangolcone posted... I would like a list of victims of cancel culture who have lost their jobs and families. And I would like you to get off your fat, lazy ass and actually do some research yourself. Guess we're both not getting what we want today, huh? I directly referenced a few incidents, but there are countless others, both celebrities and non-celebrities. kangolcone posted... Can you provide an example? Most victims I can think of are not out of work for the rest of their lives. Well, the ones who wound up committing suicide after not finding work for years certainly were. Otherwise it's a matter of most people aren't dead yet and how intellectually sincere you are when you say "work" since I'm sure some of the people who had been making six-figure salaries could get six-dollar-an-hour jobs (well, minimum wage is like $7, but you know what I mean) And sure, a lot of the cancelled individuals are assholes or otherwise horrible people (although many others aren't), but at what point have they suffered enough? You talked about wanting examples and being too fucking lazy to do even the tiniest bit of research yourself, so I'll use Adam Smith (the CFO, not the really famous one) as an example (and it's also a rare example of a SJW getting canceled). In 2012, the Tucson CFO recorded himself berating an employee over her company's policies (and being a complete toxic asshole about it) and posted it online thinking he was some great hero... and the next day he walked into work and discovered that the company had been bombarded with phone calls, emails, etc, about his behavior and was called in to talk to the CEO who asked him to resign. When he refused, he was fired. Within a few years, he was on food stamps and living in an in-law's garage. https://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2015/04/02/chick-fil-a-critic- still-looking-for-work-after-harrassing-drive-thru- worker-over-companys-opposition-to-gay-rights He was out of work for at least 3 years -- excluding a brief job where he was fired the moment his new employer learned about the video -- and eventually wound up moving out of the country. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/outintheopen/reputation-1.4589616/his-first-protest-ever-cost-him-his-career-reputation-and-sense-of-self-1.4596546 But hey, he worked again so cancel culture isn't real, right? -_- And, in his case, he didn't lose his family, so clearly it wasn't that bad, right? --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
