The cancel culture is getting out of control

Sounds like he was asked to leave the band and he did so amicably to me.

Whatever happened to people being upset by something someone says because you disagree with it, then getting over it when you realize you honestly don't care what they think?

Watch: U. of Florida Students Support Boycotting Panda Express for ‘Cultural Appropriation’

Students at the University of Florida would support a boycott of restaurant Panda Express due to the “cultural appropriation” of its “Americanized” Chinese food, and panda logo. The students were interviewed outside of a Panda Express by a Campus Reform reporter, with some students adding that they had eaten at the establishment the same day.

How ignorant, sexual appropriation is courageous, cultural appropriation is wrong.

Let people do what they want, let people have opinions and you have yours. Quit trying to cancel things you don't agree with.

Yes and no, some of these examples I'm not aware of. But the ones I'm aware of have happened within the last 15 to 20 years for the most part.

I'll concede this isn't exactly new, but the rate at which society seeks to be offended these days is alarming.

It’s ok. They only cancel you until they get hungry.

I watched a Vice panel with Latin folks some time back before the election and the moderator kept using the "Latinx" term.

Even the liberal members were like "WTF?" and said they didn't care for the term.

It's probably yet another label that some white liberal idiot came up with trying to "help."
I can never understand why the people who hold the unshakeable opinion that other humans are helpless and incapable purely because of their skin tone continually try to claim the high ground. It's true racism and white supremacy to the core.

Panda Express was founded by a f***ing Chinese family which is what makes this all hilarious.

It's the same reason the same people would never consider your side of the argument.

"We know what's best for you!"
 
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

I mean cancel....

Also, she black? She no look-a-like black. But she do look-a-like a man.

Let me get this straight: The clearly white woman is allowed to call Asians "ni**ers" so long as she pretends to be black while saying it? What an interesting dynamic we've introduced into this whole race debate.
 
Sharon Stone tears into cancel culture: ‘The stupidest thing I have ever seen happen’

Sharon Stone has had it with cancel culture.

The "Basic Instinct" star, 63, said as much on Thursday when she joined SiriusXM’s "Just Jenny" and opened up to radio host Jenny Hutt, who asked Stone her feelings on celebrities and people in general being "afraid to have real conversations."

"I think cancel culture is the stupidest thing I have ever seen happen," Stone fumed while discussing her new book, "The Beauty of Living Twice," which is scheduled to be released on March 30.

When Cancel Culture Comes for the Person With the Pitchfork

The Teen Vogue cancel culture news cycle reached its inevitable denouement earlier this week after social media sleuths discovered that Christine Davitt—a staffer at the publication who was involved in the successful effort to oust incoming editor-in-chief Alexi McCammond due to her decade-old insensitive tweets—had also tweeted bad words a long time ago.

she was nevertheless forced to resign—something that prompted Davitt to exhale "the deepest sigh I've ever sighed." But now it's Davitt's turn in the hot seat.

Teen Vogue staffer who urged Alexi McCammond firing also tweeted racist slur

Christine Davitt, senior social media manager at Teen Vogue, was among the magazine's staff members who expressed concern over McCammond being appointed editor. But in the wake of McCammond stepping away from the role, tweets from 2009 by Davitt—who has said she is of mixed Irish and Filipino descent—in which she used the N-word resurfaced.

EDIT - saw this was already posted. Also found this in another article that adds to the "D'oh!"

"Teen Vogue published an article titled “Stop Using the N-Word If You're Not Black” in October 2019 that criticized American-Puerto Rican actress Gina Rodriguez for using the N-word in a social media post. “There’s been much debate within the Black community about the N-word and just how much good our supposed 'reclaiming' of it can actually do,” a paragraph in the article reads. “And in moments like this, that feels like a valid point. But one thing that shouldn’t be up for dispute is who gets to use it. And if you ain’t Black, that ain’t you.”"

LMFAO - the inevitable conclusion of this foolishness
