Pretty hard to get rid of something that’s a made-up non-thing. As someone else has pointed out, we should start responding to claims of “cancel cluture” by simply saying: “Natural, legal consequences.” Because that’s what it actually is.
There’s that “Cancel Culture” conspiracy theory again. Want to know what’s closer to “Cancel Culture”? Censuring and barring Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Pat Toomey, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Sasse and others from CPAC.
It follows previous “Cancel Culture” attempts against the Dixie Chicks, and the personal enemy of of the State, Colin Kaepernick, which Mike has personally railed against, frothing at the mouth in his vicious cartoons.
Ah, but that’s different. “Cancel Culture” is the label people like Mike use against what others call correcting history, adjusting business practices, and consequences for actions that are deemed unacceptable by modern society by those around right now to realize it.
But Mike applies a high double standard to his malicious and intellectually dishonest depictions.
Oh stop. I would think with >500,000 people dead from a pandemic, millions unemployed, child suicide rates up, inflation on the rise, Texas pulling the reins off the best measures for containment, etc., that you shits would have something more important to talk about then The Bachelor, Mr. Potato Head, Dr. Seuss, and statues of dead rebellion war losers. Grow up.
I’m not yet convinced that what’s been cancelled and what has survived cancellation is actually legitimate culture; possibly pop culture, but calling it CULTURE on its own is more of a stretch.
Anyone else getting tired of these over-the-top apologies for what are often minor transgressions, many times from when somebody was quite young? Or something that happened decades ago? A normal, even sincere apology will no longer do. The dink from the bachelor’s apology sounds like he killed a family of 6 and then ate their remains. But that’s what’s required now. Why?
Mike, if this is what upsets you and you aren’t working toward overturning an election-ok. Have at. Draw as many “Bad Reality Show man! Bad!” ’toons as you want. This outlet for your whining and grievance culture makes sense.
Q is almost certainly a Soviet style disinformation operation from either the DNC or related flunkies (not Burn Loot Murder nor Antifarts, they’re not smart enough) designed to churn up fear among their base and maybe inspire some excitable fringe elements in conservatism to injudicious action. I expect that any day now, the leader of Q will be outed as the terrible Enemy of the People and The State, Emmanuel Goldstein

It’s nice to have choices. Like Lester has the choice to do a cartoon about something relevant, or he can do whatever this is.

Can’t cancel “stupid” culture.

Sounds like a fair punishment just for appearing on “The Bachelor.” And not at all as degrading as what the show would put him through.

Lester understands that “The Bachelor” is the height of American culture. And those terrible Democrats are going to cancel it.
Next thing you know, under Biden, Americans will be turning off their televisions and reading books, for Heaven’s sake.

One person’s Cancel Culture is another’s Liberation. The notion is too nuanced for Lester and his trivial cartoons.

Mr. Lester, if you keep prattling on about “Cancel Culture” and others of that ilk, you will own them. Probably sooner than later.

Odd how GQPs get so upset over “cancelling” in the entertainment world, but cheered The Former Guy’s attempts to cancel millions of votes…
