I'll check it out. When it comes to 90's sitcoms, there is no denying "Roseanne" was hysterical.

Do you think being cancelled means getting thrown into a gulag and never being heard from again?
She was killed off from a sitcom she brought back, named after her, and she had to give up any future earnings from it so that other people could keep their jobs.
edit: forgot this board is very pro-cancel culture and likes to pretend it doesn't exist

I wonder why comedians are upset that people are trying to have their careers derailed by lunatics who can't stand free speech. What a conundrum.
There are even some morons who are trying to change the definition of freedom of speech do that it only applies to the government. All they do is show their own ignorance and lack if intelligence as they've clearly never heard of Salman Rushdie.
Insane to think how Reddit used to be pro-free speech and anti-censorship.
>meanwhile Winkler was laughed at by the JumpTheShark fad for fucking years and years, he just shrugged that shit off and made great comedy.
What even is this comparison? How is that comparable all?

At the end of the day, she was the glue in the show but the rest of the ensemble cast was much better. Notably Goodman.

Yes that is what being canceled should mean. Never being heard from again. If you want to use it to replace terms like fired, terminated, let go, or whatever job dismissal term that's on you. It's just become a term that means some rich person had consequences to their actions like when a normal person gets fired.

No one thinks that's what being cancelled means. That just seems like some draconian definition so you can say no one has been cancelled.

She got kicked off her show, that's at least semi-canceled. I don't give a shit, by the way, good riddance.
It's mostly just another case of a boomer/gen-x comedian feeling aggrieved that they can't say whatever they want without consequences.

Then just say they were fucking fired. Tom wasn't canceled by McDonald's for making derogatory comments. He was fired. Larry wasn't canceled from his accounting job for having sex with his subordinate, he was fired. Why do rich people get canceled and poor people get fired? Roseanne was FIRED from her job for being a racist, she wasn't canceled.

This has been a huge problem when watching the NFL on Fox the past few years.
Fox has been using the NFL to advertise their crappy online service Fox Nation, if you watch football, you get a bunch of adverts for Tucker and Kilmeade.
It's gross, but not unexpected from right wing hypocrites who tell athletes to stick to sports while only criticizing LeBron and Serena.
Fox News could face a drop in carriage fees over the next few years as contracts end and fewer people subscribe to cable. It's creating a new group of future insurrectionists

They were fired because they were cancelled. What about that are you not getting?

She was fired because she got the outraged mob after her.

I mean she wasn't running it, the actress who plays Darlene does. It was her decision.

Asking it a different way I guess, what makes you say she wasn’t canceled? What do you think canceled would have looked like in her case?

So we just created the term canceled so people can blame others for the repercussions of their actions. Got it.

No, we created it as a term for when a witch hunting mob arises and does whatever they can to ruin someone's career/life because they said something you didn't agree with.
>"ITS NOT MY FAULT THE CUSTOMERS DONT LIKE TO BE CALLED CUNTS. FUCKING SNOWFLAKES GETTING ME CANCELED."
You're being very disingenuous. Calling customers cunts to their faces is a fire-able offense. Telling a joke to your own circle on your own private time is not. Unless frothing lunatics catches wind of it.

They also preach about how the free market should decide things without government influence, but whenever a company decides to do something because of the free market that they don't like they complain about it. They want companies to have unlimited "free speech" for things they agree with, but don't think companies who disagree with them deserve the same. In the case of social media companies Republicans actually want the government to step in and force these companies to allow theirs bigotry and lies. They want to do that all while making social media companies responsible for what their users post.

Blue states closed down or emptied out the comedy clubs when COVID happened.
Some comics found money going to red states and appealing to right-wingers. Can't blame them.

Getting canceled doesn’t mean it’s forever. Five years is a long-ass time to not be able to work. If that’s not punishment, I don’t know what is. A lot of you seem to think cancellation is a one-and-done. It’s not, as long as you’re living. Anyone can change.

Same people who cry about Roseanne jerk off about Chapelle. One of them did a lot for oppressed people and was a champion for LGBT people, the other makes gay and trans jokes. Weird that the one is so beloved while the other reviled.
DontSleep1131 t1_j6gy221 wrote
Chapelle like many people who talk about cancel culture alot have not in fact ever been canceled. a portion of the population got offended, which happens all the time, it used to be religious groups.
now they use, im getting cancelled, line as form of advertising. its a way to draw in some of their fanbase. its very tried and true tactic.
and it works.

Not sure you understand "rights".
In the United States, one can say whatever the fuck they want. And can "demand" that Roseanne's gross ass doesn't show up on TV again. Doesn't mean she won't and that folks saying so will prevent it.
Granted, since her comedy special is only airing on Fox Nation's streaming service it seems the people are being heard.

Funny. When religious groups used to successfully boycott things they found sacrilegious or amoral, I don’t remember the word cancelled ever being used.
Same thing with The Red Scare. That’s how a country that supposedly has separation of church and state has “In God we trust” as our official national motto.
