People that enacted this shit have no moral rights to bitch about cancel culture.

Who founded this? Let's see:

The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) was an American committee formed in 1985 with the stated goal of increasing parental control over the access of children to music deemed to have violent, drug-related or sexual themes via labeling albums with Parental Advisory stickers.
The women who founded the PMRC are Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore

You can't make this shit up -- or well, I guess you can.
