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.
