Society/Culture Has cancel culture gone too far?

[Ghost Patrol]

From yesterday



For the record I think Andrew Doyle is a hack, but is this not evidence of being cancelled ?

There are other venues. Some that support his views.

Needs to find his niche.

Yep, and Doyle will be fine. But that's not the issue that really matters. Likely he would have had other acts doing it with him and if that's the case, they suffer too. And of course the language used in that release - "violating our space"... That's the puritanical root I mentioned. Sanctity and sacred cows etc.

Sure, but again, the focus should be on principles! Doyle will survive. But not everyone has his status.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

I can't just go and book The Opera House for a gig, and it's not because I have been cancelled.

Venues shouldn't have views or personalities.

Audiences do, staff do, customers do

Plenty of venues are selective on what gigs they hold. Do you think a church hall would host a Death Metal band?

That doesn't mean Death Metal has been cancelled.

There is a 3rd team, the one in the middle where most of us are.

Yeah i'm not sold on this thing where everyone is by default one side of this war, or the other, and i'd think that not every issue in the world is left vs right.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Nazi's protesting Drag Queen story time. Now that's getting closer to cancel culture.

Oh but the liberals! The lefties said something mean, I've been cancelled!

They're a complex and disparate bunch, that third team.

Bit different though in this situation

The event was booked in, people bought tickets (knowing what the show was) and then a vocal mob got together and put pressure on the venue to cancel the show.

(I find it very difficult to believe the venue had no idea what show they were hosting)

Or would they..?

And putting out a call claiming they are being cancelled opens up an entirely new audience to them.

They literally uncancelled themselves lol

Free marketing.

Whats even funnier, is if I click through to view the tweet, this is what I see



Now I've been cancelled.

Nobody is obliged to give Graham Linehan a platform.

I think we have different beliefs of what cancel culture is

I agree with you. It won't affect Andrew career, and in fact it will probably result in more weird nerds wanting to go and see him.

But the isolated event of a venue cancelling a previously agreed to show based on backlash around values I would consider to be cancel culture.

He blocked me from his twitter venue. No idea who he is. Will assume he is Avi Yemini adjacent.

Where do we draw the line. Was Hitler a victim of cancel culture?

If FM radio drops Kyle Sandilands due to complaints, has he been cancelled? What culture is Kyle, for that matter?

Rolf Harris probably was.
Margaret Court?

I thought that this was fairly interesting. How one person can get your major sponsors to pull out.

Like a bacterial culture i assume.

I'm sorry what?

Margaret Court?

Haha good one

Margaret Court Arena

A new era of Australian entertainment and music.

Just like Margaret, Jesus was famously cancelled. He then went on to write the best selling book in history.

Hitler has been retroactively cancelled. If you say something that people don't like, people (including audiences, employers, and advertisers) might not want to work with you. It's not a new concept, and that's all that being "cancelled" is.

I would bet that every time someone is "cancelled" you can trace it back to something dumb that they said.

This is the actual stuff that matters. Would love to know the thoughts of a few of these posters on it.

My Family Was Hunted by Nazis. But I Was Fired For ‘Defending Hitler.’

David Volodzko criticized Lenin in ‘The Seattle Times.’ Now he is without a job. A story of profound intolerance in our country’s most “tolerant” city.

If you google his name, it appears he still has multiple jobs.
