The cancel culture is getting out of control

I'm on a FB group for the show I Think You Should Leave, and this fandom is one of the best little corners of the internet. Controversy arose in the group about people making fun of trans and admins banning them. It was a big upheaval and many people left for another rival group. The other group has just become a toxic place where people argue about trans and our group is having the time of our lives with almost all of the content being about the show (with the occasional joke about the other group).

It's a clear instance where private entities moderating and censoring (much like we have here on VN) make for what is clearly a better UX, even though I personally wouldn't go to those lengths in moderation.

For those in Tennessee, Gratis is a beer started by Jay Cutler (yes I know how some of us may feel about him) and Clay Travis. I had the pale ale this past weekend it's not bad. Better than bud light or any other nascar beer.

You'll read this eventually, I'm sure.

I don't have an issue with making fun of both sides. But you seem to think that one guy protesting against a multi billion dollar beer company is cancel culture. It isn't an equivelant to what SJW mobs have been doing for the last ten years to individuals who they disagree with (actual cancel culture). Kid Rock hasn't doxxed anyone or gotten anyone fired. He hasn't called for civil war against bud light drinkers. He's an idiot who shot at beer cans.

Just to be clear, if Lizzo shot explosive crossbow bolts at a case of some ****** country celebrity tequila, and it is was posted in this thread, you wouldn't say it was silly?

Lmao.

I'm a big Tim Robinson fan and follow that group. I've noticed the same thing.

Absolutely, Yes. That definitely reaches the threshold required to be called "silly". I wouldn't necessarily call it "cancel culture" though, unless she was also trying to whip up a mob to get these other hypothetical celebrities removed from society.

So you would say it was silly. Would you still consider yourself live and let live after making that observation?

I get that but I don't like bottles on my boat and a keg is a PITA so it's Coors and Coors Light for me out on the water. Plus I'm not a finicky drinker, except for Miller Lite. That's horse piss labeled a beer.

They do.

Modelo, PBR, High Life, and Bud Heavy are definitely my top sellers.

I drink High Life.

I'm basic white guy drinking whatever non-hazy, non-fruity IPA. All my friends drink Miller Lite so I end up drinking a lot of that.

Actually, it's the saddest thing. I recently figured out beer was creating too much acid in my stomach and it was fkn up my digestion. It's an issue with all fermented alcohol. Now I cut myself off after 1 beer. Tragic, but I can just push those feelings down with brown.

Bud has literally HUNDREDS of influencers it pays. One of them is trans and this equals abandoning their base. The people making a stink about this are the snowflakes.

I no longer drink beer, but I'm surprised that people would change what they drink because of what is on the can. Either positive or negative.
