Re: Cancel culture

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

Or it’s always sunny.

Some of the best comedies and satire have been produced by US writers and animators over the last few decades. Obviously, SP but The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and I've just started a thread on Archer. It's a medium that is perfect for handling satirical subjects and calling out hypocrisy.

Litman doesn't like cancel culture unless she's doing it.

The first 5 seasons of archer were gold, every single one was amazing!

Wasn’t he caught wanking at women he works with? Do you think people should do whatever they want with 0 consequences?

Also he’s doing live shows still - https://louisck.com/

That wasn’t the original point

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 :hehe:

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

I don’t think there’s doubt that a cancel culture exists. There are protests on campuses for certain people not to be allowed to perform.

The question is where is the line and who becomes the arbitrator of that line.

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 :hehe:

You’re clearly not getting it

How is that new? Isn’t that just protesting and boycotting? The people are the arbitrators of that aren’t they?

I’m sure it’s not always in the right spirit but Is this really happening that often? Often enough for you to get up in a huff about it or are the media spinning the odd time of this happening and using it to make their middle age readership angry over nothing?

Your examples of Cancel culture were Jim Davidson, chubby brown and Louis ck.

What else am I asking Louis ck about?

Have you been to university? It’s about 0.01% of the whole student base involved in these groups protesting. ****ing busy bodies who go into student politics then real politics. People need some perspective, it’s “political correctness gone mad” all over again ffs.

Re: Cancel culture

Punching up or down suggests that there is already a preconceived right or wrong

Richard Branson has more money than all of the poor people in the world put together.

No right or wrong, but shitting on the already shitted on just seems a bit lazy and cuntish.

What do you mean already a preconceived right or wrong? How does this suggest it?

Anyway there are plenty of jokes that “punch down” they’re just a lot harder to execute without looking like a smug twat so punching up is usually used a lot more as it’s often more entertaining.

It’s much easier to get a laugh about the Queen or the President than someone who’s living on the breadline.
