A 20-Year ‘Harry Potter’ Reunion Is Officially Coming And J.K Rowling Isn’t Invited

That’s not being cancelled though is it?

That’s not being invited in person because the cast think she’s a horrible ****. She’ll still be shown in the videos and an interview that’ll be shown.

The definition of cancelled seems very loose doesn’t it

Re: Cancel culture

So the people who are saying Vance culture exists do you want people to say and do whatever they want and no one is allowed to think they’re a ****?

I can’t believe someone is defending Louis CK as a shining example of this either

Re: Cancel culture

But Mr J, you keep using this term 'intolerant activists'. It doesn't really make sense to me because it implies we should be tolerant of things that are reprehensible just because someone has those views. As human beings, we generally know what's right and wrong when confronted and surely, rather than blanketing everything with liberalism, can't we just, well, not be mean?

No because everyone is different and has different views and within the confines of the law we should respect and tolerate those views. We should also seek to understand them too.

There's plenty of views I strongly disagree with but I respect their right to make them and would never attempt to prevent someone from touring etc.

This stuff isn't hard. Live and let live, have an open mind, be open to different opinions etc.

I'm not going to keep an open mind or respect blatant racism, discrimination, flat-earthers, climate change deniers. That's absurd and condones extremism and the very tolerances you purport to uphold will be crushed. Sometimes in life, you have to pick a side.

Re: Cancel culture

It's not right wing this man certainly isn':

Iannucci said he did not rewatch his old shows but changing tastes meant they contained material that he would not write today. However, he warned*against cancel culture. He said: “I spent most of my career trying to work out where the line is, where do you feel you’re stepping over the mark and every now and then do it anyway, just to see what happens.”

Iannucci said that he did not set out to offend but simply to write what is funny. He has a reputation for, in his words, comedy that “tends to circulate around embarrassment, or awkwardness or challenging people’s perceptions”.

Re: Cancel culture

That just sounds like an interview about comedy being of it’s time though. That’s always happened, things made in the 50s would never have been made in the 70s and things made in the 70s would never have been made in the 90s because things became old and out of touch.

There’s always been a line to not step over, it’s the sign of a good comedian to walk it well. That’s not an interview about cancel culture it’s just presented under that headline.

Sounds like you’re falling into the paradox of tolerance behaving like that.

Should we tolerate the views of extremist Islamic preachers?

I’m sick of people cancelling members of the mujahideen, it’s political correctness gone mad.

You clearly missed the bit where I said 'within the confines of the law'.

Violent Islamic extremists are illegal and promote violence. JK Rowling and Germaine Greer, less so.

There are jokes about all of those though, on tv and in stand up.

Do you not watch any of it? It seems like you’re getting wound up about something you don’t even watch.

Could you not argue they promote violence against trans people? I’m not saying they do but who decides who is and isn’t inciting violence?

Seems a fine line to allow the law to decide what speech is free and what isn’t.

Re: Cancel culture

It’s funny how the people who are sure cancel culture exists and people who vote Tory and brexit are a perfect circle on the Venn diagram

Maybe open up the media you consume guys you’re looking like a bunch of sheep.

Re: Cancel culture

I think you have Google yourself, don't you? But JK Rowling, Rod Liddle, Germaine Greer, Laurence Fox all spring to mind from recent years. They may still get work, but only because theyve overcome others attempts to prevent it.

Cancel culture doesn't have to mean someone is cancelled, it can mean others want them cancelled and are intolerant of their right to even air their views.

It's not good and most genuine liberals across the spectrum accept that

Rod Liddle and Laurence Fox aren't comics. They're right wing nutjobs who are happy to display their xenophobia. Liddle's comments about Wales are a disgrace and Fox can't be mentally stable.

The main thing I'm getting from this thread is that a lot of you don't watch South Park
