'Cancel culture' is just bullshit made up by the right for no other reason than they actually agree, or at the very least want to turn a blind eye to, societal wrongs like misogyny, sexism, etc etc

no-one pays any attention unless firm examples are made of people who transgreess things like a women's right to her personal space - again, to finish where i started, it was a sexual assualt in public and therefore given his position he must be sacked

Yeah I thought you’d take that attitude to cancel culture you seem the type, too preoccupied with political tribalism to actually take an open view on something. You used the term mutually exclusive the other week (I’m fucked if I can remember what the context was) well the right wing making hay out of cancel culture and calling everything an example of it does not mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe tell that to a lot of academics especially in the US who have lost their livelihoods because the latest iteration of tarring and feathering, is a bunch of social media pissants contacting someone’s employer and demanding they be sacked for what it is in most instances an innocuous comment

Sexual Assault? Fuck off…he didn’t slip his tongue in her mouth….if he’d kissed her on the cheek no one would have said anything. Calling it sexual assault is a travesty which actually diminishes the seriousness of actual sexual assault. It was inappropriate behaviour, and I’ll bet my boots that Hermoso when reflecting back on this incident in years to come will conclude that the coverage of the incident (which has forced her and her family to go into hiding) is worse than the incident itself.

No this kind of attitude doesn’t bring about change in attitudes, it actually is more likely to cause pushback. Cunts like Andrew Tate didn’t emerge in a vaccum
