    So, the entire fucking mediasphere is suddenly bending the knee to right-wing bigotry? What the actual fuck is happening right now?

        They never were canceled. They did not like that free speech allowed for people to express that they suck, so they started whining without a basis

      “Cancel culture” was never anything but right-wing projection. It is purely a propaganda term meant to demonize the practice of applying well-deserved consequences to bigoted and abusive behavior.

      Retaliation against normal people for calling out hate isn’t “cancel culture;” it’s just more abuse.

      If cancel culture was really a problem for them, they would have been screaming on Fox every night while Colin Kaepernick was being shunned by every NFL team.

    At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints.

    Your actions say otherwise DC. You openly supported terrorism and hate speech when you decided to harm an employee who was a member of a vulnerable minority being actively terrorized. The level of evil and hurt you just subjected this employee to is unforgivable. I will never touch another product or property of yours again.

    Shame on you, you evil, nazi accomplices.

    So, are they going to fire everyone who supports Kirk or Trump too?

    Sounds like they were peacefully expressing their viewpoints.

    Yes wouldn’t want to see violence being promoted by DC Comics. DC Comics are never violent clearly. It’s absurd to suggest otherwise. All DC heroes operate under the strictest tenants of pacifism.

    Teachers and employees of all sorts are being fired for the same. One teacher got fired for simply quoting Kirk’s now hilarious “acceptable deaths”. And earlier, Musk was pressuring the Microsoft CEO on Shitter to fire employees that are critical of Kirk.

    It’s a complete Uno reverse of 2015

    This is insane. We’ll end up with this white-washed, boring mediocrity.

    Same with that MAGA-actress from The Mandalorian. What she said wasn’t even as radical, just bought into the whole election fraud conspiracy, iirc. Now we have a formerly good show where every new character AND their actor are basically PC-principal from South Park. The left failed to support her there because she was a bit of an ass, supporting a bigger ass, but no laws were broken and she fit the role perfectly: Not that smart, badass, hardly an ally when you have no other choice.

    Enlightened centrists are left to create our art and literature. Well, at least the 1800s and 1900s produced a lifetime supply. But a contemporary reflection of our society, of our politics, like “1984”, like “Der Untertan”, like “Im Westen nichts Neues”, that used to be a huge part of it, and it’s slipping away.

    Fiction is an actor we should not pull out of public discourse. It has been crucial to it, probably long before the first written word. Unless a crime is committed, let them write!
