the first example that comes to mind is dave chappelle. even though there are jokes in there that i don't agree with as a thought, i don't think there was anything that could be taken as an insult. the joke i meant was, he meets jim carrey during the shooting of man on the moon and jim carrey always stays in character even when they aren't shooting cause... method acting and shit. he says that he had to pretend like he was talking to andy kaufman even though he was talking to jim carrey and that is how he feels when he is talking to a trans person. i don't agree with the underlying thought but this isn't an insult and nothing to have a hissy fit over

he's a hack but glancing at his wikipedia his career's doing fine? the special in question is still on netflix and he had a new one last year.

because he's not been hurt by it and he's still making jokes? i wouldn't care if netflix had dropped him either but i'm not seeing how people complaining about a shitty bigoted joke by a very successful comedian is a significant problem.

if your point is that these sorts of incidents are making comedian reconsidering what sort of jokes they can make without backlash: who? where? why? is anyone being hurt by this?

why would he be hurt by it and why wouldn't he still making jokes?
if you mean that some trans people were hurt and that's why it should be taken down, is that a valid reason to take it down?
i think you know what i mean. anyone that has a public presence has to consider what they are saying or tweeting and they should be but the reason shouldn't be that they might be cancelled because their opinion isn't in line with what a minority group thinks it should be. the joke above is a good example of this. it's not an attack or an insult

bro when they say you're canceled it's like getting a military medal, then you go on Joe Rogan to tell your story and get a 7 figure deal with a streaming service, or they just quietly reboot your movie series about the wizard school

yeah, sorry, no, i don't understand what you mean. everyone has to take responsibility for what they say, there's nothing new or controversial about that. sometimes misunderstandings happen, it's fine.
i also think theo von is funny (when he wants to / i don't know much or care to know about his ghoulish influencer circle). it's a rare quality for right wing comedians; so often the only thing they know to do is project pure spite and that's just unpleasant to watch. like they're hurting themselves. it's hard to be funny without at least a little bit of humility or selfdeprecation.

he did take responsibility. he said he wasn't sorry about anything he said. what does he have to do? stop being a comedian cause you think his joke was bigoted?
yeah he wasn't cancelled in the end i guess, i don't know. i don't have another example sorry. i'd have to think or google

I don’t understand. So he hasn’t apologised, his special was never pulled off Netflix, and he had a new one out two years later. Is this supposed to be an exemple of the excesses of cancel culture? Like not to mention this is approaching the line of being fandom rubbish. I genuinely don’t understand what your argument is here.

Is it something like you think the only thing you should ever be able to say to someone you disagree with is “I disapprove of what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it”? I’m genuinely confused.

i said he wasn't cancelled in the end, i guess. what do you want me to say? i googled for the sake of it and it says "While there have been intense protests, calls for boycotts, and demands from activist groups (such as in Santa Rosa, California) to cancel other appearances, First Avenue remains the only venue that actually pulled the plug on a specific date, which was then relocated rather than completely called off." so he was tried to be cancelled but they weren't successful

DISPATCHES FROM THE CULTURE WARS
How the bare nails trend became a class issue
Nail art's historical and creative roots are linked back to black, Latino, and Asian communities and the suggestion that bare nails are now a sign of high status could stigmatise bold manicures, they say.
"That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities," beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo tells the BBC.
"They are often called elegant or tasteful, and these are often usually euphemisms that perpetuate white supremacist standards of beauty."
