Let's not be hasty, they could've been lying when they said they read it....that's also a valid possibility. ;)

BanditKeith2: Problably is terms in one country would mewan something else in another culture for example .'' Spazztic '' and spazzing out '' in the US is basically meaning someone acting wierd or nutty.. where as in the U.K both has became a derogatory term or how ''Fag'' is a derogatory term in afew places been so for ages yet in I believe its Iraland it still means smokes .. Among varoes other terms

Then lets add the fact age of consent is different in varies countries hell the US. even has it where some states can let kids legally marry adults do to varies factors of how laws are written .. but because very few if any has abused these laws to become a big enough trouble in those in powers eyes several of them having been adjusted .. So your logic is kinda flawed in thinking someone could easily sift through such matters

Granted we might aswell add how afew years back the so called ''SJW's'' had decided if someone willing agreed to have sex but then later on decided they regret it or some other crude no logical thinking human would think of being actual rape (when talking both full blown adults )that are sober and all that) is some form of Rape I can see other country people confused and unsure of specific terms and such and getting conflicting info

my name is capitayn catte: There's not a lot to sift through to simply inform yourself of what the term means. He is the one that brought it up after all.

GamezRanker: Just like you could've easily informed yourself on what that one dev actually said/meant instead of jumping to conclusions and lobbing accusations?

There actually is when people keep adjusting terms that mean one in books and tries to make them mean something that don't mean what they are truly by pushing it as a different thing.. Aswell as when countries use the same words as not bad things yet other countries see the terms as bad.. Aswell as concent laws and whats seen as age of consent in different places are a convoluted mess even the US has a mess like that where different states have different legal ages of consent and different legal ages for sex .. Its just in most countries there is one age a country has that is seen as the ''norm '' for things rather then a hard rule of sorts

my name is capitayn catte: In what way was he being cancelled? Were his games removed from a store or something? Kind of sounds like he's cancelled himself by taking his ball and going home to be honest.
"Being Canceled" is just dumbass newspeak for "Having to deal with consequences". You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. You play with the hob, your hand gets 3rd degree burns. People are free to show you the door.

Dave Sim wasn't canceled, he just completely went off his rocker. His loss of viewership was a natural consequence of going stark raving mad.

Scott Adams wasn't canceled, he just had to deal with the trouble of not being able to shut his mouth and stop talking; his loss of viewership was a 1-2 combo of becoming unfunny and the fringe parts of himself leaking into the fore.

Captain Jack Harkness wasn't canceled. Your "cute habit" only remains "cute" so long. [Content: This is about allegations of sexual abuse. Tread lightly.]

A lot of people hate to see their stars fall, and they do weird awful mental gymnastics to try and justify how things which at the time of current society, are insurmountably idiotic things to say, simply "couldn't have been faux pas".

And hey, I used to be an avid Dilbert reader. You gotta know when to set the cards down, yeah?

I can feel the air of this thread, and that air tells me to go away from the Poker table and go play some Mahjong. Ciao.

He wasn't cancelled, or whatever buzzword the right wants to use today. He is free to sell his games wherever, nobody is preventing him from doing that. He is free to say whatever he wants, nobody is denying him that right. He is free to donate the maximum amount to people who actively worked against the interests of the very fans who supported Scott, and now feel betrayed due to his hypocrisy. This is a man who nobody censored or took rights away from.

He wasn't cancelled. He made his bed and didn't want to lie in it.

I stand by post 46, and post 49's first line isn't anything to do with the Factorio dev.

I assume you mean my reply to you in post 49, in which case that was hyperbole my good man. You (incorrectly) assumed I hadn't read what he wrote, just because I have a differing opinion on what he wrote.

He said that "If a teacher seduces his/her student and the act is voluntary, we can't really talk about rape right?". So what, it's just fine? I stand by what I said.

I didn't really get this. You're saying they coined the term, but then re-defined it to use against the other side, even though it's clearly used by the right today to signify a mob rule? Yeah, you lost me.

Anyways, regardless who started the whole damn silly thing, it shouldn't even be called cancel culture in its current iteration.

It should be consequence culture.

I agree. People don't owe you their business.

As you say, "cancel culture" is a buzzword for something that has always happened. Used to be that people got "cancelled" when they were outed as gay or a communist or whatever else. The only reason the right has had to invent a name for it is because it's started happening to them.

That XKCD page is widely discredited.

Right at the start it tries to conflate free speech with the 1st amendment and they can't even get that point right with the amount of collusion between the state and private companies. Also is the BLM link he has at the top of the cartoon meant to be ironic now?
