| I think you missed my point (for which I apologize for not being clearer). But since you yourself put the word "canceling" in scare quotes, you're actually making my point, lol. It's the now rampant politicization and misuse of the term that I'm complaining about. No one is "cancelling" anyone. Or, at least, we used to have more accurate, less hot-button terms for it. I just don't want to see that phrase used anymore,. It has already outstayed its welcome, and it has become essentially meaningless in its over-ubiquitous use. In other words, let's please cancel "cancel" and be done with it. ;-) |

| And even within the common usage of the word cancelled, Dr. Seuss has not been cancelled - that's just right-wing propaganda nonsense. Rowling's situation is more complicated, as she has lost a lot of fans and the Harry Potter IP has been somewhat damaged by her transphobia, but again, the outcry that she's been cancelled is simply a distraction from the racist right and its supporters to drum up anti-left hysteria. Don't give them the clicks and don't repeat their lies. |
