Kobe > LeBron. It's only internet stat nerds who think Lebron is better. Watch the games and stop calculating Lebron's PER with your wristwatch calculator.

I remember Muhammad from the Super Best Friends episode when they fight the David Blane cult. Do they still show that one?

It's not "cancel" culture people are afraid of, its "i can no longer say whatever I want about whomever I want without penalty" that the usual suspects are mad about

No they do not. Didn't a bunch of people get beheaded for putting drawings of people favorite prophet in a news paper that several times?

Are they still not allowed to show Muhammad?

They never shied away from it, that was Comedy Central doing the censoring.

I have the box sets and the Super Best Friend episode is completely uncensored with Muhammad in it lol

The real problem is fake people looking for virtue points and internet mob mentality, both of which can manifest under that terminology.

Is that actually the "real problem" or do you think maybe bigotry is the real problem

Both. There are plenty of bigots out there actually being terrible and there are plenty of PC babies out there crying over dumb stuff.

Its not one or the other.

Complaining about woke culture and SJWs and cancel culture is a potential red flag imo.

I dont think it really exists tbh

What people call cancel culture is just values evolving with time combined with the increasing speed at which things can get shared on social media, like how easy it is to take cell phone videos and post them, etc
On a certain level I kinda agree with you but when you mix in social media (especially Twitter) and how algorithms effect people you may start to see the problem. It's not that celebrities are being temporarily inconvenienced that bothers me and though it is certainly not good when people who aren't rich are effected by this what really concerns me is what is happening to the people participating in these perpetual outrage mobs. Twitter is...changing people...changing the dynamics of human interaction...and creating cult-like zealotry fueled by physically addictive dopomine driven behavior. This shit needs to be studied at the very least is all I'm saying. If allowed to go on unchecked I worry that the Twitter-human hybrids may mentally collapse and go on a rampage like locusts.

People being fake assholes can obfuscate real issues and cause people to turn away from what should be just causes, so that's definitely an issue. Quick acting mob mentality movements generally act without any kind of research, so that shit is bad as well. Those are completely separate issues from people being horrible shitstains online.

The "deal" is that if you're not a celebrity, chances are you'll never bounce back from it.

outside of a few extreme cases, if youre not a celebrity its not going to happen to you.

And if someone said something you didn't like in an art piece, would you still want the artist canceled?

Depends on the offense
