Gina Carano fired

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

She's a retired MMA fighter that's dabbing in mainstream. Welcome to the jungle. We got fun and games.

As I've said, I never felt Ms. Carano was a martyr or that her star was in danger, and yet I am dismayed that it's reached this level, so quickly, where she's being smeared as a Nazi from some ignorant tone-deaf failed political leader who somehow thinks that it's all a conspiracy to take down Mr. Biden with being concerned over the canceling of Dr. Seuss books, or simple acknowledge that our immigration system, like so much else in America now, is broken and needs reform now, or we sink.

This really is what cancel culture is becoming helmed off some radical neo-puritanical Twitter stans fresh from the echo chambers. I'm actually quite surprised we don't have a #CancelSFDebris hashtag going given the remarks he's made over a decade ago - though I REALLY don't want to give the woke lunatics ideas! Yeah, I could understand people who don't like something, but where does that end and you just shrug and agree to disagree, even defend that person's right to such an opinion? It seems like it's been shoved aside with so much else we've lost in the last few decades.

I might be wrong but no one bothers with canceling something like SFDebris. It's a site that posts reviews, and outside the SF community no one really knows about it. It's not like they cancel YouTube pages.

Well:
1) If there will ever be a "Cancel Chuck" movement, it's more likely to grow out it's fanbase and not random people who are trawling old remarks. A world where Chuck makes a severe misstep that drives off a significant portion of his fanbase is far more plausible than people on twitter pressure YouTube to bounce him off again.
2) Lindsay Ellis purged her twitter recently because of her reaction to criticism about a tweet she made comparing Avatar The Last Airbender to Raya and the Last Dragon. It's not a totally implausible scenario here, but Chuck is probably tiny enough to slip by.

Which is my point. Sfdebris is loved by many who know the site. DITL used to post links to his reviews for example but that forum is slowly dying. Just an example.

He would have to go batshit crazy to get enough fans to 'cancel' him.

Though with that said, he now has a YouTube channel. So maybe people will become aware of him. But compared to other YouTube channels, he is small fry so far. Critical Drinker does similar things as he does and he is pretty safe.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

I thought Lindsay just deactivated her Twitter.

[Captain Crimson]

Well, it really was just a handful of people that have been behind this historically, always on Twitter. And then it blows up into something no one can predict or control. It's why I stay off Twitter, it's always infested by a buncha fanatics, left or right.

[Thebestoftherest]

Your not wrong.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Isn't he though?

srs tho Lindsay better not be cancelled.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Yeah, Twitter is a mess where the gods turn away to weep. I only have a presence there because apparently it's necessary career-wise for writers who want to find agents. *Shudder*

And I trust you're spreading the good word, as well?
