Cont: Cancel culture IRL Part 2

How's about you present these "meaningful arguments" yourself, rather than expecting everybody else to go slog through a 40 minute podcast to find them?

The segment only lasts a few minutes, and I've already told you where it begins. Have a listen, or don't. :D

If you can't summarize the 40 minute podcast, or even describe the arguments made, you give no one a reason to actually watch/listen to the latest thing you're just spamming links to.

For all we can tell you didn't even consume this podcast, but are hoping to have others do so and come back and explain it to you. It certainly wouldn't be the first time you've linked to material you hadn't read and changed your tune once we explained what your link said.

Once again, a "segment" is not an entire "podcast" or "show," it is but a portion thereof.

The "cancel court" segments typically last between 10 and 15 minutes, and I'm going to keep posting them here whether you like it or not, since they are definitely on topic.

On that note, here's another episode of Cancel Court, this time about "whether former New York Times Op-Ed page editor James Bennet was canceled or not..."

Good news, everyone. You don't have to listen to a podcast to know if James Bennet was "cancelled". You can just do a quick Google search to find out that he's still a working journalist. He wasn't "cancelled". He's fine.

Is this supposed to mean something? You're not posting a link to a segment, you're posting a link to a podcast. That podcast is 40 minutes, and you, the advertiser, seem to have no idea what was said in the podcast. This gives no one else a reason to slog through it.

How do we know they're on topic? How do you know they're on topic? You seem to have no idea what is said in these links you're spamming us with.

Oh, look, d4m10n is now spamming links to his twitter feed while claiming it's a podcast.

If you think "cancelled" requires utter destitution and perpetual unemployment, you aren't using the term correctly.

Then all your establishing is that "cancelling" is no big deal. Lives and careers aren't destroyed. People just get new jobs and life goes on. It seems fairly mundane actually, and not very useful in the service of convincing people "cancel culture" is this terrible scourge that threatens us all.

I don't recall claiming anything about a "terrible scourge" but possibly I'm misremembering. I would say that sometimes cancellations go too far and have rather undesirable results, such as when Gimlet lost their flagship podcast following the public shaming of two of its main figures, or when Slate lost its daily news podcast, or when Gelato Mio was ratings bombed by angry skeptics.

I listen to them. You might try it, sometime; the link I posted earlier should take you to exactly the starting point.

Same old same old. People still bitching about "cancel culture"; something that doesn't really exist except in the minds of social justice warriors and other salty types.

Nothing new to see here then...

What’s the criteria for determining how and when “cancellations” go to far? And who gets to make that determination?
 
'Cancel Culture' is failing to get someone ousted when publishers don't want to work with you for being a bigot. 'Free speech' is getting paid to write things others don't want to buy.

And studiously avoiding certain matters.
