#the new cancel culture

Okay, after seeing so many cool gifs and art from Dead Boy Detectives from my tumblr mutuals, I gave the show a chance.
I watched it and oh my god it's awesome and I love it so much.
Then I go on tumblr to look into fandom and find out that Netflix canceled it... WHY?!
If I understand correctly, it wasn't unsuccessful, maybe less than expected, but still a lot of people watched it. The ratings from critics and audiences are very good. And they had already ordered season 2 and it is completely written.
I know everyone has different tastes, but seriously, they make weird reality shows with questionable content or that weird Gwyneth Paltrow show that spouts pseudo-scientific nonsense that is actually dangerous and just advertising for her company.
And didn't Netflix recently announce how much money they've made from new subscriptions since they stopped the sharing?
Seriously, I hate this new throwaway culture of streaming services so much...
#dead boy detectives#dbda#dbd#dbd netflix#save dead boy detectives#charles rowland#edwin payne#i hate netflix#that's one of the reasons why I hardly ever start new series#even halfway successful series are suddenly canceled#I hate this throwaway culture#stop releasing a whole season at once#An episode every week makes a series resonate so much more#Give me filler episodes#Give a series time to breathe

no actually you know what? fuck jack black. i get that he was put in an awkward position, but this pretending that we wouldn’t be better off with trump dead is stupid and actually dangerous. many people DO wish that bullet had killed him and that’s perfectly justified and rational because trump is an evil, corrupt despot.
and fuck him for being another american cancelling another new zealand gig, especially over american politics. australia too, because we just don’t get that many gigs down here. but nz really does get fuck all, and after not getting anyone here for 3 years due to covid, now everything is open again, we’ve had a spate of bands cancel last minute largely because they decided it wasn’t worth coming — I’m not even exaggerating, it’s been like 10+ concert cancellations just in the past year . The Weeknd, Morrissey, David Kushhner, Justin Bieber, just to name a few of the big ones, and my personal bugbear is when Blink-182 publicly cancelled their South Island gig two weeks out, when they’d known it wouldn’t happen for over six months, and it was entirely and blatantly to play another Australian gig where they could make more money.
None of which I expect Jack Black to be fully aware of, because who’s paying attention to NZ, right? But that is the point — we’re involuntarily strapped into this wild ride of American politics, which not only affects us but is actively being imported by our own right-wing politicians, despite having no say in the matter and almost zero input beyond the ability to express our general international disapproval of the candidates. And now we get our Tenacious D concert cancelled because someone shot Trump, missed, and obviously everyone with a brain is disappointed he didn’t die?
But heaven forbid you *say* that.
It’s dishonest, it’s american-centric, it’s policing the left in ways the right will never police themselves as fucking always, and it’s just another example of allowing Republicans to dominate the conversation and present their batshit-insane candidate as a normal nominee. Most fucking candidates don’t get shot by their own party supporters. Maybe ask why that happened before complaining that the Democrats are sad he missed.
Cancel culture only exists for the left.
#trump#jack black#tenacious d#New Zealand#nz#us politics#politics#cancel culture#also feel bad for the guy that isn’t jack black who has basically lost his career#and jack black just threw him to the wolves

When I was a teenager I was strongly encouraged to listen to mostly Christian music, and my parents weren't ones to outright ban other music, but they would openly, loudly and strongly disapprove of certain music choices.
My brother and I convinced them to let us listen to Nirvana in late 1994 because Kurt Cobain was dead, so buying their cds couldn't possibly do anything to "support his sinful lifestyle."
Anyway, growing up Christian is pretty fucked up a lot of the time.

Lisa Needham for Daily Kos:
Let’s check in on how the Republican war on free speech and academic freedom is going, shall we? While conservative attacks on universities are nothing new, the recent success they’ve had in using the levers of state power is of a relatively recent vintage. The latest skirmish is in Indiana, but they’re in no way alone in their attempts to turn their public universities into conservative mouthpieces. On Thursday, Indiana federal judge Sarah Evans Barker, a Reagan appointee, threw out a lawsuit filed by four Indiana professors seeking to block the state from enforcing its “intellectual diversity” law. That law, which went into effect on July 1 requires public higher education institutions to grant, review, and deny tenure in part based on whether the professor fosters “a culture of free inquiry, free expression, and intellectual diversity” and whether they expose students to a “variety of political or ideological frameworks.” If that sounds vague yet still bad, that’s because it is. The bill was pushed by conservatives who believe that conservative students and viewpoints are discriminated against in higher education.
Using the term “intellectual diversity” is the giveaway. It’s a favorite term of the right when they want to complain about how conservative viewpoints aren’t insufficiently coddled by higher education. It’s also the only kind of diversity conservatives really like.
Indiana’s law defines “intellectual diversity” but doesn’t explain what “free inquiry” and “free expression” mean. The extremely legitimate concerns of the professors who filed to block the law are two-fold. First, “intellectual diversity” is defined as whether the professor presents “multiple, divergent, and varied scholarly perspectives on an extensive range of public policy issues.” One of the professors who sued teaches about the Holocaust and explained that divergent perspectives in Holocaust studies include outright Holocaust denial or revision. Another teaches about slavery, and divergent scholarly work on the institution of slavery includes the notion that slavery benefited Black people. Under the law, those professors would, arguably, have to teach those debunked and dangerous ideas to show a commitment to “intellectual diversity.” The lack of definitions for the other term creates a different problem. If no one knows what “free inquiry” or “free expression” means under this law, no one knows how to avoid running afoul of it. Laws like this are unconstitutionally vague and chill speech because people begin to self-censor.
[...]
Over the last ten years, complete tenure bans have been proposed in Oklahoma, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, and West Virginia. A recent study found that when Republicans controlled the state legislature and governor’s office, the chance of a tenure ban bill being introduced was almost five times greater than in other states. Conservatives will keep doing this because their war against higher education is part of their overall war on modernization and multiculturalism. They’re furious that they’re losing in the marketplace of ideas, and they will keep attacking their own universities until they break under the strain.
Lisa Needham writes for Daily Kos on the right-wing war on freedom of speech and academic freedom on college campuses.

So what I'm gathering on this Twitter discourse is it's a bunch of shitty stans that don't practice what they preach. Refusing to understand other cultures is very sus. Especially if they're going after cc's that don't speak English as their first language and they're trying to "cancel" people and not understanding those cultures because they look at it through their very American/British rose tinted glasses.
#qsmp#twitter discourse#twitter neg#educate dont harass ffs#it makes you look like the bigot#not everyone has time to be chronically online like you fuckers (people trying to cancel)#also i can make the american/british vomment without worry because i'm american#and not like the clowns shitting on people because of a cultural misunderstanding 🤡#i love learning new cultures too much to shit on anyone besides shitheads#oh also i feel the need to mention i only use twitter to check eggstatistics so don't know who the fuck these people are lmao

Fear, Loathing, and Comics, at the Basement Sale (2012)
Dir. Julie Sokolow
Watching Ed, Jim, and Tom together here, diving in the dollar bins and talking comics, is so bittersweet.
Ed's impact on me will last through my days. What he and Jim built created a community of kind, like-minded people where, whatever our differences, our love of comics was shared.
Cartoonist Kayfabe had a culture of creation.
The mob/activists/cancel culture, whatever you want to call it, this sickness in our society. It is a culture of destruction.
They snuff out the bright lights.
They diminish all of us.
Ed, you have left a huge positive impression on so many people, and that is something that will live on in those of us you inspired forever.

The Modern-Day Witch Hunt
The label "far-right" today carries as much weight and destruction as the cry of "witch!" did in the Middle Ages.
No evidence needed, no investigation necessary just one accusation, and suddenly you're cast out, demonised, and ostracised. The term has become a catch-all, a convenient way to smear anyone who dares challenge the mainstream narrative. And I'm angry. I'm angry because this label isn't about protecting society from extremists it's about shutting people up, getting rid of the ones the powers that be don't like.
In the Middle Ages, women (and occasionally men) were labeled witches for everything from being a bit too independent to knowing how to use herbs. The accusations came without evidence, often based on hearsay, jealousy, or fear. The mob didn't care about facts. They cared about punishment. It was a tool for control, a way to silence the different, the non-conforming, the inconvenient.
Sound familiar?
Today, the new word hurled around with reckless abandon is "far-right." Disagree with the government? Far-right. Question mainstream media? Far-right. Express a thought that isn't perfectly in line with the social justice warrior handbook? Well, congratulations—you’re a Nazi now. There's no debate, no dialogue, no effort to understand why someone might hold a different view. Just an accusation. And just like the Middle Ages, it sticks. It sticks hard. The label isn't just a political designation anymore; it's a moral condemnation. The implication is that if you're "far-right," you’re evil.
You must be silenced.
And here’s the kicker—there’s no real definition of what "far-right" even means anymore. It’s nebulous, vague, and deliberately broad. They’ve weaponised the term so that it applies to anyone they want to get rid of. You can be fiscally conservative and socially moderate, but God forbid you utter the wrong opinion on immigration, gender, or healthcare. The second you step out of line, there it is you're branded. Once you're marked, you're banished from polite society, canceled, and pushed into the margins.
Just like a witch.
The hypocrisy of it all is staggering. The same people who claim to be champions of tolerance and free speech are the ones waving the torches, lighting the pyres, and throwing around the accusations. They preach about "inclusion," but only if you subscribe to their ideology. If not, you’re not just excluded you’re demonised. They don’t want discourse; they want conformity. They don't want dialogue; they want obedience.
The modern witch hunts are real, and they are vicious. It’s not enough to disagree with someone’s politics anymore—you have to destroy them, strip them of their humanity, and reduce them to a two-dimensional villain. It’s lazy, it’s cowardly, and it’s dangerous.
In the Middle Ages, they drowned, hanged, or burned the ones they called witches. Today, they do it differently, but the outcome is the same. They ruin careers, smear reputations, and incite mobs to tear down anyone who dares dissent. The tools may have changed, but the intent hasn’t: silence the inconvenient, punish the different, and maintain control.
I refuse to stand by and watch as this modern witch hunt tears our society apart. The next time someone throws around the label "far-right," ask them what they mean. Demand evidence. Don’t let them get away with vague, slanderous accusations. Because today, it's someone else being labeled. Tomorrow, it could be you.
And I’ll be damned if I stand in silence, watching another pyre being lit.

No Canadian school ever canceled any event with Nadia Murad
Nadia Murad is a Yazidi survivor of the 2014 Yazidi genocide by ISIS. She is now an activist and Nobel Piece Prize winner.
Earlier this year, posts began to circulate social media, claiming that her visit to a Canadian school was canceled, for "fear of spreading Islamophobia."
Well....
https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.34RW8MG
Nadia Murad never even had any events scheduled in Canada to begin with. The story is as fake as the roadkill on Trump's head. Somebody pulled it right outta' their bum.
The oppression of the Yazidi people could definitely use some more attention, though.
