Cops don't open doors for gangstas. Playground rule #1. Think that's been Trump's problem with the Repubs the whole term. He still thinks (like countless others) he's the real revolutionary.

I have no idea who Ariel Pink is. I’m guessing a singing mermaid? I don’t think churches deserve any tax exemptions, no. They’re businesses that should be treated like any other.
Are you calling me a misogynist?

The WBC are hilarious. They can troll a dead marine’s funeral and nobody, despite all their tough ass **** talk, does a goddamn thing to stop it.

Don't cut yourself on all that edge now, boy.

plus conspiracy theories do real damage, a Cancellation just means losing your left wing audience at worst
I agree that they're not equivalent, but saying that cancellation does no damage, seriously?

The joke is that you never defended Ariel Pink nor would defending Ariel Pink have anything to do with your political ideologies nor would it be indicative of your support of any proximal entities, let alone one so far removed from Ariel Pink as the WBC, that it's absurd to even suggest the two are linked in some way and finally - none of the aforementioned has anything to do with sexism or misogyny whatsoever and to include it as a punctuating statement at the end of this already outrageous post is outright obscene in it's inappropriateness, and hence the humor.

Wtf of course it does. If it gets out of hand it can lead to a culture of hypocrisy and paranoia and witch hunt like scenarios. Even if you sympathise with the original intentions, I don't think any angry mob phenomenon can stay reasonable and healthy

My favourite was when Robert Downey Jr. was cancelled for doing blackface in Tropic Thunder after two satire accounts and a 15 year old posted about it. Thousands of people swarmed to his defense against this cancellation to no avail, because the official voice of the internet had damned RDJ with those three posts and we were forced to kill him.

Or when J.K. Rowling had her terf outburst and published Troubled Blood a couple of months after. Then it came out that Troubled Blood was transphobic too because it depicts transvestites as serial killers. After the internet decided that Rowling was cancelled, thousands rushed to her defense buying 65,000 copies in the first week (compare to the 120,000 copies of her 2018 book sold over the course of two years). Unfortunately, this wasn't enough and we were forced to kill her.
