Lindsey Ellis comparing Raya and the Last Dragon with Avatar: The Last Airbender
That was such bullshit over something so small.
It felt a lot more that she was getting cancelled because she was an easy target.

I feel like a lot of people were more prudish back then. What he did didn’t harm anyone.

I agree. It would have been a great opportunity for him to recast himself as an adult. Just like Rowan Atkinson doesn’t need to be Mr. Bean.
It sucks that this is a question that has reasonable answers for it that has to get nuked because lemmy is full of censorous slime, who are self-conscious of their own censorous nature. Mean while they have posts on the front page pointing fingers of censorship at others.
The Red Scare and Lavender Scare both seemed really lame. I vote those.
People don’t get cancelled. They get exposed for the horrible people that they are.
So you just blindly believe it every time?
Nope.

I believe some examples in no particular order might be:
- Brendan Fraser: basically ousted by Hollywood after accusing someone of sexual assault.
- Central Park Five: should be obvious.
- Terry Crews: I think he was mainly treated poorly by certain parts of Hollywood after being open about sexual advances or something.
- Peter Norman: supported the 1968 Olympics civil rights salute and was effectively made a pariah in his career for it.
- Howard Dean: apparently getting a little too excited is political suicide, but not wanting to grab your daughter by the pussy.
- Sinead O’Connor: being honest about Catholic abuse is apparently a no-no.
Now some of those are more being canceled by the elite, but still.

It’s right here. In this thread. Top comment. Pee Wee Herman.
Always needing examples and evidence. Eyes always shut to examples and evidence.
So let me get this straight, every mob is right every time? This is your actual belief?

So then you just contradicted yourself.
Richard Stallman being cancelled for defending a dead colleague against Epstein accusations.
It was clear people already had an axe to grind him, and they just used that as an excuse.
It was another reason for me not to take the average idiot seriously.
