My main point was that rich and famous people can't be canceled, so why are you asking me to prove that they have been? You've really lost me, LS.

Also no where once did I say anything remotely resembling "everyone/most people who speaks out against trans issues gets fired". I even looked and the best I could find was that the vague concept of "cancellation" was happening frequently.

It's probably time to stop, huh?

But your main point is wrong, they just aren’t canceled over trans issues

Roseanne Barr was taken off of her own show.

What’s the last Mel Gibson movie you saw?

The guy from Greys Anatomy got fired and doesn’t really work at all any more.

Whos going to see Kramer do stand up?

What’s Paula Dean up to?

It’s been time to stop because you’ve had no point to make this whole time lol

So we're just ignoring the fact that you basically made up things I said and moving on, cool. You wanna know a super cool thing about all those people? They're still rich. Their lives weren't impacted in any way except now they can't become more rich. And even that's not really true, its more likely they just don't care to keep going. Because they're rich. Are you not getting that?

So… the people I listed who were canceled for other things weren’t rich? Got it. It’s not just about money. The entire conversation i was having had nothing to do with money and everything to do with, let me say it yet again: THE PUBLIC RESPONSE TO WHAT WAS SAID. Jesus. I am literally pointing out that when “cancellation” was demanded, the general public laughed at them. That’s the whole point. I don’t know how else to explain it to you so I’m moving on.

You've "moved on" like three times now, LS. Putting things in caps doesn't make your point. Making up things i've said doesn't make your point. In the first place you've veered so far off of "famous people are immune to cancel culture don't give them the free advertising they want" that im flabbergasted you've made it as far as you have. Since moving on is so hard for you, I'll make it easy and turn off inbox replies.

Do what you gotta do buddy. You still make no sense lol

u/LoveSloane and u/beris you two move on, NOW.

Also beris, I remind you, you are a mod. You shouldn't turn off replies the first moment you got into an argument.

And while I'm here, my being a mod is literally hinged on nothing. The second a radfem poster directly breaks a rule and I take any action, you'll move to protect your golden children who can do no wrong and remove the mod status immediately. And thats assuming you ever actually get trans posters back in the first place, which you won't. Acting like i need to act high and mighty when im playing in the kid pen with other kids is silly.

I made you a mod because I needed someone to do Porcelain's job and who didn't abuse the position. How do you expect to mod any rule-breaking user if you act like this now?

[–]beris😎 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

1) if by act like this you mean be a sounding board for LS to make up her own arguments for me and then ignore when I call that out then I don't know what to tell you. I made an offhanded comment about famous people not really having a place in a conversation about cancel culture and LS decided that was enough to have a field day.

2) YOU can just as easily do porcelains job as I can. I doubt I'm anymore sympathetic to qt users than you are, I can just look at the phrase "I don't believe the rules matter" and know that that might be an issue to not ignore completely.

If anything though I do feel bad for responding in the first place, because really it was pretty obvious she wanted to pick a fight and I really could have just ignored her.
