Russian leader Vladimir Putin made an unlikely reference to J.K. Rowling in his latest speech. During a televised address Friday on state TV, Putin cited the Harry Potter creator, who has come under fire for statements she has made relating to transgender issues, as proof the West likes to cancel people, adding that this was something Russia was now facing. Putin said that Rowling was canceled because she didnt satisfy the demands of gender rights. He added: They are now trying to cancel our country. Im talking about the progressive discrimination of everything to do with Russia, and likened cancel culture to Nazis trying to burn books in the 1930s. We remember the footage when they were burning books, he said. It is impossible to imagine such a thing in our country and we are insured against this thanks to our culture. And its inseparable for us from our motherland, from Russia, where there is no place for ethnic intolerance, where for centuries representatives from dozens of ethnic groups have been living together. Putins speech comes more than a month after the invasion of Ukraine and after numerous Western companies paused operations in Russia and Russian individuals and businesses faced global boycotts.

Critiques of Western cancel culture are possibly not best made by those currently slaughtering civilians for the crime of resistance, or who jail and poison their critics. #IStandWithUkraine

And weve reached the ultimate dumbest use of cancel culture. A man who started a literal war and who is murdering Ukrainian civilians for no reason is whining about being canceled. This is as peak conservative as you can get.

She is not cancelled. Unless cancelled means getting attention all the time, while the things you made still make you billions of dollars.

She is being criticized not cancelled.

Probably this one. It's basically word-for-word the shit you see the conspiracist crowd (who are also currently very pro-Putin) banging on about.

You'd think after a dictator and republicans trying to strip women of all rights are the main people peddling her views she'd have a think about her own views.

But she won't and hasn't.

Actually he did. In the same speech he claimed Hunter Biden was funding bioweapon labs in Ukraine. He had no evidence of course and it's laughable, but the Russia shills and useful idiots will believe it anyway.
