Completely irrelevant to the point I made. Regardless of whether the colored people are still around today or not, neither their cultural identity nor any other modern/ancient peoples' identity belong in the form of a silly costume.
But but but HazeOner's life is ruined because he can't dress as a Native American Chief or a Pharaoh. Won't you please think of his iddy diddy costume parties?
So you are going to tell the same to Beyonce or any other artist that dressed like ancient Egyptians? ...I thought so...
Don't talk to me about dress up, I never dress up and you are putting words in my mouth.
Oh sick, you did traditional dances! Nice bro, that excuses everything! Shit bro, well done. I joined in on a Haka in New Zealand. See, I can do it too. You've basically done the equivalent of "HOW CAN I BE RACIST, I HAVE BLACK FRIENDS!". Replace 'black friends' with 'did traditional dances'.
You really like putting words in my mouth, don't ya.
So why are you so mad about cancel culture when the vast majority of people it seems to be affecting so far are racists and/or sexual harassers?
Theres a difference between calling someone the n word and getting dressed up as a pharaoh. If u think both are racist then i dont know what to say.
I don't like it because cancelling and marginalizing people/groups will, in many instances, lead to more extreme behaviour. Like I told you before, I've seen this a lot during travelling. Religion against religion, tribe against tribe and so on.
Flat out calling someone the N word isn't the only type of racism you know. Costumes may be nothing to you, but they certainly offend the groups that they are trying to resemble. See: Native American chief outfits.
Can you give me an example of where cancelling people will lead to more extreme behaviour? As far as I'm aware, fchamp is not a Nazi now. He hasn't gone 'fuck it, I may as well get more extreme'. I know that's me exaggerating with that, but I'm yet to see any big examples of well known people being cancelled who've then gone super far into hate. And people with actual hateful views - Milo etc - have been deplatformed and literally shout their shit to nobody now, which is good as they shouldn't be allowed to poison peoples minds with hateful rhetoric. Deplatforming is great and it works, and so does cancelling people (there's also the fact that cancelled people are very rarely legit permanently cancelled, they just suffer setbacks for a bit and have their ass blasted for a while, which is a fair justification for what they've usually done).
They're different, but both can be considered racist, depending on context. In America for example, there is a long history of white actors/artists appropriating minority cultures and essentially exploiting them for profits or personal gain. It's why something like black face is pretty controversial in America, even though at first glance it might seem harmless.
I will drink to all of this.
How is that any response to what we've said? We're not pointing out 'wrong verbs' as Obama said, and then sitting back after only doing that and thinking that we're social justice angels who've solved the worlds problems.
Consequences for moderates and conservatives, yet none for far-left ideologues.
1. This lumping everyone who wants change under the "woke" umbrella is like a watered down version of when people used to be called terrorist sympathizers because they were against the war in Iraq. Just another label and brand being used to discredit people with legitimate arguments against divisive discrimination.
Like who? And who's saying there shouldn't be consequences for them as well? You don't think people would be just as content seeing justice for either side? It's not the left's fault that conservatives and far-right ideologues have the overwhelming majority of people deserving of those consequences. Tell me who there is on the other side who's at the level the right has reached in the last 20 years, and I'll be more than happy to throw them under the Kombat bus as well. I don't mean that with any hostility, I would genuinely like to know who there is on the opposite end that reaches that same level so I can be made aware and research/plot my arguments accordingly.
I'm sorry, was fchamp getting shit on and cancelled because of his political ideology or because he was being racist? Again, completely irrelevant.
That. Things like that right there. Show me the high-ranking members of the left taking things to that level. Dude holds the office of President and has almost 90 millions followers where he's been tweeting literal Nazi propaganda and blowing off the pandemic to sign executive orders to protect Confederate statues, but it's the other side that's taking it too far and should be nicer to the people who buy into it. Mike Z's already controversial ass gets caught in someone's DM's being a blatant predatory creep, it's the girl's fault for being thirsty and blowing him up. Racist Marvel bully blows HIMSELF up, the rest of the bullies come out of the woodwork to defend their boy and protect their right to be assholes. Everyone bitches about cancel culture taking things too far, but don't acknowledge the only people being cancelled out are the ones who had it coming.
Reddit just banned a far-left sub, maybe one day ago?
Because the law has absolutely failed to do a vast majority of things in regards to injustices. Just remember, following the law down to the letter isn’t always the right thing to do. Laws can be morally fucked, see: Nazi Germany, South Africa until recently, the United States stance on same sex marriage until recently, abortion laws etc.
