  • Yeah, fuck you OP.

    Searched the discord found this:
    MalikMistyRory: “whats yall opinion on cancel culture- like the snl writer getting canceled by twitter because he made a joke about racist people calling people in china town ch** in a podcast ?” - Atomic
    This seems to be context: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/16/761367838/comedian-shane-gillis-fired-from-saturday-night-live-for-racist-remarks

    My opinion on cancel culture is that most of the time it is good. And it makes sense to hold people with greater influence to higher standards.
    Although sometimes there are misunderstandings and people jump the gun. And some people have less leisure time or access and must be given leeway for that.
    With a first offense it is usually better to educate people before rallying a mob, because once there is a mob all rationality goes out the window; it is generally better to create an ally than a martyr.
    And for most people there needs to be a path to redemption, or you’re just creating permanent opposition.
