The cancel culture is getting out of control

[hog88]

You just into the meltdowns or you really watch this ish?

The show isn't too bad, a little to gory for my tastes but not a bad show.

Haven’t even peeked yet, might give it a look see. I watched the last Bruce Willis movie… horrible script, bad secondary actors and a worthless plot line. It broke me.

It's not much of a plot, pretty much just mindless entertainment.

This show is awesome. It's a unique twist on superhero storytelling. People who think Hollywood is all out of ideas should be all over it.

Homelander is such an awesome character. It's like if Superman had the heart of King Joffrey except he's so insecure that his greatest motive is to be liked.

What does that even mean?

Just exactly what I said. It's not much of a plot, it boils down to basic good v evil with a lot of gore. Pretty predictable without many twists but like I said earlier it's not a bad show.

Disagree. Almost everybody operates in shades of gray or is outright evil.

I agree that it doesn't have many twists but I also think that has nothing to do with plot quality. Twists hurt plots as much as help them, TBH. I don't think it's that predictable. Lots of crazy **** happens that you don't see coming. The imagination of this show is wild.

Spoiler

how Homelander's baby momma died was unpredictable.

I know you didn't see Shue/Homelander's relationship kinks coming.

The shrinking man bit this season, OMG.

I mean, the show starts out with Hughie's GF dying in such a startling way. You simultaneously are mindblown and also realizing how obviously problematic super powers are to innocent bystanders. That **** never happened to Flash.

hughie's clothes coming off when he teleports.

Hell, I was fooled this week. I told my wife A-Train was getting a redemption story and then 2 minutes later he sold out to Homelander.

on and on

Haven't seen the new season. Show has been good up to where I am so far. But the comics were awesome. Garth Ennis is one of the most underrated creators in that medium, imo.

Yes? Cancel culture is still overwhelmingly a left wing phenomenon. Even though some on the right have started fighting back

In this forum, it's largely a right wing phenomenon

Well, the woke leftist idiots just canceled themselves right out of a job. Well done! And welcome to the reality of your little imaginary world.

PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: What would Barack say? Malia Obama risks the ire of the woke mob by paying a visit to famously Christian fast food eatery Chick-fil-A - before burning off her sins at a SoulCycle class

• And while her father has helped bring LGTBQ+ rights to the forefront, Malia didn't seem to mind that Chick-fil-A's right-wing owner has spoken out against the community numerous times in the past

Malia Obama was spotted enjoying a meal at Chick-fil-A on Thursday, despite the fast food chain - which is run by a conservative and devout Christian who has publicly bashed same sex marriage - donating millions of dollars to anti-gay groups in the past.

The eldest daughter of Former President Barack Obama, 24, hit up one of the chicken restaurant's drive-throughs in Los Angeles, California, before dropping off her younger sister, Sasha's boyfriend, Clifton Powell Jr., at the airport.

So now we're posting "stories" about a woke mob that's not doing anything but might. Cool.

How someone feels about the balance of cancel culture really depends on viewpoint and what information you subject yourself to, and then also how you process it. My Dad's canceling Subway, among other things (MLB network). I got the most staunch anti-cancel culture right-wing libertarian friend from work who is canceling Costco because they used to have a mask requirement. I know tons of cancel netflix and disney people.

If you're not reading left wing think pieces about people canceling Subway, etc., you're probably not even aware that people are (even if you know people bitching about Subway). It hadn't crossed my Dad's mind that he was an active member of cancel culture until I pointed out. I don't think my work friend realizes it (I'm not telling him...he's executive level, lol).

Self awareness is a huge fkn issue when it comes to politics, and your perception is your reality but your perception is not reality.

And people who try to minimize their own side's cancel behavior into non-existence are people too biased to engage with, TBH.

Breaking news Obamas daughter likes CFA like 99% of the population. Its okay to disagree with someone's beliefs and not just boycott or cancel them. My God how pathetic.

It's spam from a tabloid. Somehow it became a right wing favorite since I guess they click anything

New Jersey Elementary school drops Thomas Jefferson's name and renames it for first black woman to graduate from local high school after STUDENT Outrage over the slave-owner

An elementary school in New Jersey is changing it's name, dropping that of founding father Thomas Jefferson over the main author of the Declaration of Independence's slave ownership.

Jefferson Elementary School in South Orange will instead be renamed to Delia Bolden Elementary School, celebrating the first black woman to graduate from the local high school.

The vote by the South Orange Maplewood Board of Education came after a year-long push by school students to change the name.

Well, I would say naming their school after a local and uncontroversial hero makes way more sense. Why shouldn't we improve the names of things? Now we only have 400 achools named after Thomas Jefferson and it doesn't have special meaning to any of them, except the public ones in Virginia and the private ones that emphasize Jeffersoniasm.

If you're a school in NJ called TJ Elementary it's because they couldn't/didn't make any effort to think of anything good.

How do you think her accomplishments compare to that of Thomas Jefferson?
