it isn't real
everyone who complains about "being cancelled" has continued their careers unabated, usually making more money grifting the right-wing

Even Bill Cosby was selling out shows right up until he went to prison, and his cancellation by the US government only lasted three years before he was back out. Pretty much the only people whose cancellations "stick" are either Harvey Weinstein himself or small online creators whose entire fanbase heavily overlaps with Twitter users, and even that latter group can usually post through it if their fanbase is white and male enough.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

he was the sacrificial goat and I'm pretty sure he even said as much in one of those cringe Christmas videos he makes.
