Frank Zappa has a great song about human stupidity I've been listening to a lot lately. The song mostly deals with with warfare and religion but I think it applies as well to the destructive stupidity that drives party politics. Even though I'm a humanist at heart it is sometimes very satisfying with a misanthropic song that calls out how stupid we really are.

Dude. You broke my mouse.

Upon reading your post, I went so fast to click your link that I hit my mouse, and it flew. The only reason I'm capable of posting now is that I found my mouse and scattered around the room, my mouse battery and my mouse battery cover.

Zappa rocks!

No

I have news for all of you - "cancel culture" has ALWAYS existed.

If you call your co-worker [modded], you're going to get fucking fired. If you take a girl out, she gets drunk and passes out on your couch and you bang her, you're going to get treated like the sex perp rapist you are. If you're an elementary school teacher and you make the 6 o'clock news for a DUI arrest, you're going to lose your job before you ever make it to trial.

The only difference is now we have a generation of people so shameless, entilted and unaccountable that they want no consequences for their shitty behavior.

And if you are so rich and high profile enough that you HAVE been getting away with this type of shit, I'm fucking glad that now you have to live in the real world like the rest of us.

Modded by Frambooos. Please refrain from using racist slurs (even in a "censored" form).

I have news for you cancel Culture is different then what you are discribing.. what you are discribing are actually justifiable to be against someone.. Cancel culture though has went so far as to be against people for such a small thing from decades ago or even just edgy jokes from even 10 years ago from getting into collages or even get them keep from getting jobs anywhere ... the problem is far too many use it in a witch hunt fashion .. rather then actually on those who need it used on them .. ruining peoples lives for no reason. . Sure afew cases are justifiable but most are not

"cancel culture" is new. It's a reaction to sexists and racists. The nomenclature changes, but the underlying motivation remains the same. Some people think that what others believe makes them sub-human and worthy of derision, or death.

In reality, we are all the same. We all poo, we all love our children, we all fight for our rights.

SJW's are just the toddlers stamping their feet and demanding ice cream

EDIT: Please ignore my drunken ramblings.

Seems the "Butthurt brigade" is out again!

Nothing of what you described seem to have happened though, she was drunk indeed but he never banged her not to mention many of her messages have been dug up which directly contradict most of what she has accused him off and on top of that she has described the supposed time where it happened in multiple different ways since that day, some of which again contradict her previous stories.

In the end none of this matters because the court is supposed to resolve cases like this in a fair civilised way before you ruin someones reputation to make sure the person is indeed guilty through evidence, what kind of a fucking brainlet thinks accusations on social media is enough to resolve a crime ? the kind of naive person who thinks most people are incapable of lying or can't have another motive altogether like jealously, felt slighted by something in the past etc.

If he is indeed guilty he will get what's coming eventually especially when the court is now involved but people really need to use reason more than feelings when it's something as important as convicting people.
It sucks when people who are victims get ignored in rare cases but it doesn't give anyone any right to potentially ruin anothers.

Anyone that adheres to cancel culture should be jailed I believe.

Oh but according to the ""psychotic butthurt brigade" on GAG I'm subhuman, At least I KEEP IT REAL, I don't pussyfoot around clutching "meh pearls" like most.

To those calling out people as racist and sexist, Maybe just maybe think WHY that person might be racist or sexist, WHAT led them up to be that way

Has that person ever been wronged by a person of said race or sex or perhaps been assaulted by them, You see 99.9% of "John / Jane Moron" jump to the quickest conclusion without knowing any of the facts!

People get all on their high horses and "Cancel" said person which only just reinforces that persons anger, Which WILL BLOW UP IN PEOPLES FACES VERY SOON and said people that did the cancelling are going to go missing or get shot DEAD by a "Rogue" gunman and you can only guess who that will be - DO NOT cancel anyone without KNOWING all the FACTS!

That's right ChrisGamer300! I wouldn't do it because I'm not an asshole!

Honestly there needs to be a national/international inquiry into women using false rape accusations against men they dislike.

yeah, and they're in the thread right now, it seems
I TOTALLY AGREE 1000%

I hope not but the above sentence is interesting, hopefully just sarcasm and not actually how you feel but there should definitely be some sort of penalty for people who are intentionally lying as a disincentive for such actions.

Yeah It was but that IS how I feel because those types get away with murder these days, If you've ever had a rumour spread around the entire community that you're a paedophile (which I am not and NEVER will be, I was looking after my very mentally unwell parent) you'll understand why I feel that way.

I was even told by shopkeepers that "We don't serve people such as yourself now leave our premises before we call the police"

A prime example Zoe Quinn Spreading a rumour so bad a game dev offed himself as his friends and family even fellow employees wanted nothing to do with him and then bragged about it on social media all because she got him harrassesed and he couldn't get work at all for it .. Yet she got away with it.. and not attacked for it..
