People rightfully upset over Chapelle.. Point out why they're upset. "Shut up you have to enjoy it. You're trying to cancel him! He's perfect". At this point you literally can not criticize anyone or it's cancel culture. You have to just consume product. Be a good mindless consumer. Mindless praise. CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME.

That's pretty much the MO for a lot of influential people pushing agendas against "cancel culture" or "wokeness". The idea is to get to a point where being racist, biggoted, homophobic etc is "normalised" and beyond criticism. I find it frustrating all the trolls and even some that aren't but just like the banter don't realise the harm they are doing.

That's not to say there are some examples of people taking things too far but in general I think that's a fair comment.

Just because people incorrectly call things cancel culture, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Also, aren't you using the same argument that those being criticized fairly often use? How are you not allowed to critique someone?

Criticizing someone isn't the same as trying to ruin their career or get them deplatformed. What a dumbass take.

Nobody has said that.

More like it was just a joke, get over it.

You're allowed to be triggered and rant about it - the line is crossed when you demand cancelling and the takedown of content.

It depends on who person you're trying to criticize is. If they're A-list they're basically untouchable if they're some D-lister it's acceptable.

It'll all depend on who's willing to defend, and how far they're willing to go to defend.

No one really gives a shit if you didn't like the closer. They do think people calling anyone who did and don't fall in line transphobic and want it taken off netflix should shut the fuck up and get a life.

People who dont want to hear criticisms will pretend any criticism is cancel culture. People who dont want to hear anything but criticism will pretend any praise is wrong.

Dave "I'm keenly aware that my jokes were indirectly harming the black community in 2005, so I walked away form my own show and literally cancelled myself; but of course I can joke about an even more marginalized community, and if anyone thinks I'm causing harm to them at all, well that's just silly, they are just jokes and should not be taken seriously, you know, taken seriously like I did in 2005 when I cancelled my own show" Chappelle

It's only ok if you criticize straight white men.
Everyone else is off limits.

That wasnt why he left the show tho... He left the show because he felt the higher ups wanted him to emasculate black men.
