Has no one heard of Andrew Schulz? He is a white guy. That picks random people out of the crowd and makes fun of them. He has heckled **** and blacks numerous times with pretty "offensive" things. Yet he is still getting booked and is still doing very well for himself. If anyone would have been canceled its this guy.Where are all the comedians getting cancelled for jokes? Dave Chapelle is the most popular comedian in my lifetime. Joe Rogan is a bazillion-aire. Bill Burr has been one of the hottest acts in comedy for a while. They are all doing the same ****ty act: Making fun of SJW's, LGBT people, and feminists. That's their entire act. Bill Burr and Joe Rogan have lived off it for a decade. And when people say they're ******** for it, they cry like a 6 year old. Who is getting cancelled here?
Feel free to name them.
People don't seem to understand how businesses work. Businesses aren't canceling people out of the goodness of their heart. They do it because it to maximize profits. If you own a comedy show in backwoods Alabama and some guy says the N word. And you cancel him, all your customers are going to go the comedy house 200 acres over where the guy went on twitter and talked about how "I will never cancel a comedian for free speech". And you go out of business. At the same time, if you own a comedy house in Chinatown SF and some guy comes out shredded Chinese people, you refuse to book him, because if you don't, you are going to lose the majority of your clientele and even if you go on twitter bragging about your Freedumbs, you aren't going to be able to pull enough backwoods people from upstate California to come to your shows every week to replace all the Chinese locales you lost.
Its the same with all of these companies. They cancel people who are hurting their pocket. All the people that say schit like "XYZ company lost their customers because they were woke". They aren't doing deep dives through earnings reports. Or listening in to shareholders meetings or anything. They just assume since they disagree with it, its tanking. They don't realize 99.999% of the time it has nothing to do with their canceling or being woke. And the .001% time it did, its because they read the room wrong, not because of the action itself.
In fact most of these guys love a good old fashioned canceling. They just call it a boycott and "the free market response to a boycott". A boycott they don't like is canceling.
