Cancel Culture, Woke, Communism... When you don't understand a lot about the modern world, you just start using words and phrases you also don't understand to mean "I dislike this"
This isn't cancel culture though. You are proving my point.
And my last post wasn't a straw man either... It was describing people who use terms they don't understand to express their dislike of things. It's literally you. In this thread.
I mean... I guess it could be that you're knowingly misusing it just to create anger and division. But you wouldn't do that, would you? That would make -you- the problem.
Again, what do you mean by cancel culture? The original comment was asking for people to honour Watterson's view that Calvin should not be used outside the comic. Who was being cancelled and how?
So you don't actually have an explanation. Chowder is a bigot, and people shouldn't give him a platform. You defending him is consigning his bigotry.
Also he hasn't been cancelled, nor is he likely to be.
Are you upset that people don't like him and are speaking out against him? Or is it a larger disdain about the practice of speaking out against people and calling for them to be excluded?
If it is the second one, Chowder makes his money that way, and participates in a practice you claim to disdain.
Though I think it's the first beacuse you like what he says.
