The best thing about "cancelled" people like Roseanne is that she is already made. She doesn't have to beg or grovel for anything. She's in a position where she can continue to speak her mind and give no f**ks.

Has anyone ever really been cancelled ever. It's only people with a very niche audience of woketards. I don't know if you know who Nick Mullen is but those Asian identity weirdos have been trying to cancel him for months now but because his audience isn't weirdo Asians it means nothing

Because the average wokie is a humorless school marm comedians have nothing to really worry about.

Well I guess it would depend on what your definition of cancelled is. Obviously people like Roseanne, Louis CK, Shane Gillis, Aziz Ansari all lost work because of the outrage targeted at their employers/business partners. If you were a genuine a fan of those guys I doubt anything they did was going to end your appreciation of their comedy.

I wouldnt say Louis ck was cancelled in the traditional sense. He quit comedy temporarily over allegations of sexual impropriety that he copped and is now back performing.

Ansari addressed the allegations on a netflix comedy special so again not exactly cancelled.

Roseanne is probably the best example of someone who was cancelled but Disney did the same thing to James Gunn. They just dont want controversy. Disney especially doesnt want any controversy with ABC because it barely makes them a cent relatively. Remember Disney hired Gunn for his edgy sense of humour, then fired him and hired him back. There is a more interesting conversation over corporate control of culture and our every day life than one on some screeching clod on twitter. Most culture warriors miss the forest for the trees here.

Remember when pol was trying to get teflon man Dan Harmon fired and cartoon network was like nah we like his edgy sense of humour so pound sand geniuss. Thats been the result of the vast majority of cancellings. I can think of a few very specific cases where a comic has for some bizarre reason chased after humourless scolds and its turned out they are a male feminist (or rapist for short) and that audience has f**ked off. Most people arent dumb enough to appeal to woke idiots though

Interesting Colin kaepernick is seldom mentioned as an example of someone who was cancelled

Once again, it would depend on what your definition of being "cancelled" actually is.

I see cancel culture as being concerted efforts by organised groups to interfere in the employment, the ability to gain employment or the ability to go about their normal business/professional activities of individuals who have failed some kind of purity test. Obviously how successful those efforts are and the longevity is going to depend on a number of different factors. James Gunn, for instance, was obvious retaliation by Mike Cernovich for what happened to Roseanne. Nobody was truly offended over anything he said and Disney's kneejerk firing was a complete overreaction, which is why it was so easy for him to come back. Louis CK didn't just quit comedy, he lost a bunch of television and film contacts in the immediate aftermath of the allegations made against him.

The Dixie Chicks are a great example of people getting cancelled over some shit they said. They were blacklisted all over radio and television, but they eventually came back when nobody gave a shit anymore. To a lesser degree, so is Kathy Griffin.

Colin Kaepernick ended up with a multi-million dollar Nike contract, so was he really cancelled by your definition? He was by mine, but you seem to have a different take on it. What makes him different?

yesss, joe's fav subject, trannies lol

f**k my ears hurt, she is completely unhinged, why is DMT Rogan even giving the waste of space a platform. I've never seen so many dislikes on a Rogan podcast, other than that twatter 'controversy' when Rogan barely asked a meaningful question to CEO Jack Dorsey.

Michael “Kramer” Richards got cancelled.

Curb Your Enthusiasm did an episode on it and it was great.

Also, “Pound sand” is a great saying.

If Ari Shaffir's comments were at least funny/clever he would probably get away with it. He just sounds like an arse. Nothing worse than a comedian who sounds like an arse. Unless they are funny first like Bill Burr.

Not sure how old this one is, but just watched some of the YouTube highlights of his interview with Chuck P the writer of Fight Club.
Seems like a very different cat. Some very disturbing (but interesting) stories. I’ll be endeavouring to listen to this whole interview.
