Always remember. Just because you’re offended it doesn’t mean you’re right.
It’s your right to be offended. Nobody is taking that away from you. But it’s also our right to ignore it and continue on with our lives because you’re just being soft
And like
Nobody is cutting your tongue out or throwing you in jail for saying some offensive ignorant s*** they just might stop f***in with you...and that's completely within their right...so it really boils down to ppl not having an audience to spew their bullshit to

And that's fine but it also doesn't mean I gotta f*** with you lol
I think the misconception is that I'm pro cancel culture myself which isn't always the case I just think if you're a piece of s*** and have what I consider to be ignorant viewpoints it's wild to think I should still want anything to do with you...sure ppl can have different opinions and still be cool but that only goes so far lol
Niggas in their mid 40s acting like they’ve thought about these books once in the last 2 decades kills me
This is not the point Lmaooooo
@op this is a good example of what people say when they mean "woke culture" has gone too far lol
There's a video of a p*** star doing s*** on camera in public and people were on twitter saying she was raped, even though she said she consented to it folks was tryna be like "how was i supposed to know" like maybe don't jump to conclusions lol
all that to say i don't care for the ppl who mock wokeness or the ppl who tout it as the most important thing either
identity politics done a real number on us, s*** been used as a distraction against actual atrocities committed en masse against the working class population
ngl the say her name discourse over that trans girl who was murdered kinda felt awkward lol

I don't think this is what the person I was talking bout last night was complaining about tho lol it's just more or less wanting to be offensive and ignorant while also expecting ppl who very much disagree with that s*** to still associate with you and give you an audience for that
Cancel culture to me is just a dramatic way of saying ppl don't wanna f*** with you anymore bc you got exposed for some f*** s*** or have stupid ass opinions
I mean...sure fair point

i mean that's fair but this s*** is ass is what I'm saying lol and it sucks that nobody can say anything without being lumped in with those types

I know you from the wrestling thread lol like I used to watch old school ecw and wwf and still go back and get a kick out of watching that stuff despite the "dated" shock humor and inappropriate s*** lol im just also able to recognize that was a different time and we should be passed that now
To be completely honest I don't understand what the big deal is about those Dahl quotes lol seems like those are pretty silly changes to get upset about or even draw awareness to
The big deal is that it gives license for people to f*** with a dead artist's work long after they're passed just to fall in line with the ideals of the modern milquetoast liberal when that's dumb as s***.
Instead of tryna shield kids from "problematic" elements of a work, explain to them what things were like back then so they don't act like the world is ending when they come across this s***.

Well I would agree with that...shouldn't go back and change someone's previous work like that for sure
The premise of the OP would've been stronger if you left out the part about "no one can give good examples"
You think 'anti-wokeness' is corny, fair enough. You can just stand on that, without pretending there aren't examples where people are gonna obviously think s*** went too far, like this Roald Dahl example here
Cause when people give you examples like this (this Roald Dahl one is a great example of a ridiculous over-correction), and you just ignore it or eurostep it, or make up a reason why this or that example doesn't count, makes the argument look weak
A more consistent argument would be to just acknowledge an example like this and say, "this is a good thing! why do you WANT to offend someone by suggesting a woman might work as a cashier instead of a top scientist!"
Dahl uses 'cashier' instead of "top scientist" because that's a figure that children are likely to be familiar with and to have encountered. Kida aren't just running into "top scientists" in their everyday experience.
And that's why people are clowning these changes, cuz in a desperate attempt to seem less offensive and politically correct it comes off as insincere and condescending lol
Dude most people are dunking on this s***, including a ton of liberals, what do you mean?
Like, this screams psyop.

I was just speaking in general bruh bruh I know you're not.
But it's just very tiring when people try to lecture us on old s*** like yea we get it, we don't need the kiddy gloves

Liberals are doing it in the most disingenuous of ways tbh
Like they're like dunking on it but also tryna condemn Dahl for saying rude things, not realizing that it kinda gives those people the license to rewrite said books lol
we literally had a male teacher pretending to be trans with giant prosthetic breasts. parents were banned from teacher meetings and the teacher couldn't be punished due to woke administration policies and human rights laws. it was only recently that they figured out he takes off the costume at home
you couldn't say s*** about this clown 6 months ago IRL without being called transphobic
That's just not true lmaooo

this what happens when a party realizes they can push idpol so hard that it takes up a huge chunk of the collective consciousness
it's provocative, it gets the ppl goin, and then they don't have headspace to complain about corporate price gouging, crumbling infrastructure, their own rights being trampled for "safety", unprecedented profits coupled with unprecedented inflation, etc.
A ton of people (especially on social media) seem to care more about being admired for doing what’s right than just doing what’s right for the sake of being what’s right.
Like for me personally, every trans, gay, black, woman etc. could actively dislike me, but I’d still advocate for them. I don’t need their permission or their blessing.

You’re free to criticize whoever you want, even if it’s pointless.
Altering history though is an entirely different matter. You can use it as a teaching moment.

I'm not for rewriting or reshooting anything...plenty of art I don't agree with personally but shouldn't tamper with things like that...mein keimpf is terrible for example but what purpose would it serve to rewrite it into some positive s*** lol don't need to see old movies erased from history bc of things that are no longer appropriate either...my point is you can still go back and read or watch or listen to those things...shit there's still plenty of it around today but I think expecting society not to grow and become more understanding is not detrimental either...they used to hang ppl for stealing horses and eventually we got around to realizing that's probably not an appropriate punishment for that lol
Eventually ppl who make these arguments get around to "not all slave owners treated their slaves badly" and you just gotta leave the f***in room at that point or punch them in the face
Crazy how freedom of speech has been twisted into this weird thing where its just about being able to be a bigot without consequence freedom of speech isn't meant to be a tool for oppressors

Exactly lol it almost always boils down to s*** like that being what they're really upset about and then u just can't help but look at them funny going forward
Nobody's throwing you in jail over those viewpoints but doesn't mean they gotta keep associating with you either personally or professionally
