The anti-SJWs always complain about how SJWs are going around canceling celebrities, well like the hypocrites they are, they're trying to do the same to Schwarzenegger over his "Screw Your Freedoms" statement.

The difference is that when the Left tries to cancel a celebrity, they try and CANCEL a celebrity. They will go after their friends, their job, their career. And they will laugh when the person in question begs them to stop.
The ''anti-SJWs'' you linked to merely dropped their support for him.

Not to mention the fact that we aren't talking about someone who said a mean thing about gays fifteen years ago. These are contemporary comments made this week.

TL;DR, I see no comparison.

Doesn't surprise me. So called Cancel Culture is on both sides. One side just calls it different, like boycotting.

Boycott Nike, boycott NFL etc. And proud of it. So proud of it they say randomly.

Sir this is a Wendy's.

To be perfectly fair "Don't associate with X" is the least destructive form of mob action.

Nothing beats a good old-fashioned boycott... When you can get a proper-sized one organized. Which is the big problem with the gaming industry, at the moment.

I don't see the issue here. Arnold said something dumb, and he paid for it.

He responded to people doing something even dumber, people abusing the "my freedom" argument just so they don't have to follow safety precautions during a pandemic.

Imagine if social media existed when the polio epidemic was at a all time high in the US as there were a lot of people who refused to take the vaccine for that.

Dude, I've felt for a long time, if the Internet existed prior to the 1960s, 1980s, those nukes would have flied, lol. It wouldn't have been just a near-apocalypse, but a full-blown one.

Really? Mate, the right INVENTED cancel culture. Remember blackballing? Remember the Dixie Chicks and Freedom Fries?
Sometimes I think the reason you guys whinge about it so much is you're upset you don't have the exclusive rights anymore.
