Cancel culture is not a real thing so bulbasaur

This guy doesn’t even know how problematic Bulbasaur is.

Fire the cancel cannon!

It’s that like the bass cannon but not as cool

I have cancelled you. It’s unfortunate it had to come to this…

Oh no how will I survive lol (how do you do the banner thingy tho)
A feature of Boost for Lemmy: “tag user”
It’s a feature of some apps, boost, sync, etc
The crazy son of a bitch did it!
Very problematic I suggest you do some research.
Of course it is. what are you talking about?
who is someone who has been cancelled?
You can’t know them, when the council of awakeness performs the ritual of cancellation, the person is erased from existance, which includes everyone’s memories, as if they never existed. Even the number of people who underwent this treatment is unknown, but we estimate trillions.

Several conspiracy lunatics got deplatformed. Trump literally got canceled off twitter, until his buddy Musk bought it back.
After #meToo and before his sentencing, I’m pretty sure Harvey Weinstein didn’t do much movie producing either.

Influencers/personalities who don’t get into illegal or seditious speech don’t usually get deplatformed, so they have the option to stick around through heinous acts and subsequent harassment (e.g. the Paul brothers).

However canceling DOES work against people with, like, any semblance of humanity who can’t wall off a continuous barrage of rape and death threats. Lindsay Ellis straight up closed up shop following a harassment campaign over some really stupid shit I can’t even remember (she’s back on Nebula now, but she’s still off YouTube).

you can’t say someone like trump got cancelled when he is like fighting for presidency of the largest military cult to ever exist or whatever he’s up to these days.

If you want to establish cancel culture as a thing you have to

  • show that people can be barred from publicity and financial success
  • and

  • show that it is different from what happened in the past with reactions to scandals.
  • I just did. Lindsay Ellis got her carreer fucked by it.
  • Why? Just because the word changes doesn’t mean the principle isn’t still the same. And just because reactionaries like to call any mild backlash “cancelling” doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing.
  • No true Scotsman, eh?

    Johny Depp? Dude lost work. It impacted him. He was cancelled.

    Kevin spacey is another one. Louis CK. These are people who had work impacted because of alleged behaviors and actions they took.

    Not gonna get more nuanced with you about it. It’s a real thing. You’ve been given plenty of examples.

    Kevin Spacey, Louis CK, Chris Avellone, Johnathan Depp…

    They all had work while fighting thier allegations.

    They are all rich and famous, Louis ck is a self confessed sexual harasser.

    All of them are still around, rich, and have a platform. Nothing that happened to them is different from past scandals.

    Shit Jonny Dep is definitely a shitty abusive person and somehow everyone thinks he’s a pure victim because his propaganda campaign was so effective.

    Weird, what you seem to call “cancel culture”, I would call “consequences for actions”
    A hater tried to cancel you because Bulbasaur is “problematic,” but I’ll uncancel you because Bulbasaur is very cute and should be cherished
    I don’t know its name but there’s a Pokémon which looks like a weasel. It’s the cutest thing ever.
    Bidoof? Because Bidoof is God, so it must ve Bidoof
    I don’t want to be a heretic but Bidoof doesn’t look like a god or a weasel to me 🤔

    like an irl "Who's that Pokemon?!"

    is it a Buizel?

    iirc Sneasel was like a pretty strong ice/psych Pokémon? I always put it in the "dangerous’ category, never considered the cute side yet 🤔
    That one is also pretty cute! I still remember when I caught one of those at the power plant. Since I am a water-starter-picker I never saw much of it though 🐬

    Don’t say Vaporeon. Don’t say Vaporeon!

    “Vaporeon.”

    DOH!

    “Unfortuante” doesn’t begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don’t see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

    I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won’t get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but World Cup is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I’ll suffer through a few more games for them.

    One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.

    Lol get flinched again
    Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
    Cancel culture is colective censorship… but apparently it is sometimes needed

    There’s already an agreed upon rule in the Pokemon community, named for the most “cancelled” Pokemon Vaporeon. One of many, in fact.

    Google Vaporeon Rule 34 for more information about the fight to keep cancel culture out of gaming!

    A wild Jynx appears!
    It’s Garbodor and I’m tired of hiding it!!
    Gogoat, you son of a bitch.
    Totodile’s my favorite. It’s because he was my first pokemon ever.
    I like charmander
    Sudowoodo cos he be flashing

    Ditto

    Much more… versatile, than Vaporeon

    Sorry, as someone who knows what Pokemon is and not someone who knows what cancel culture is, this makes no sense to me. So I'll surmise that the polititoon here is utilizing circular logic to "argue".

    Alakazam. Though Gyrados is also cool
    I did a playthrough of crystal last year and was playing it on breaks at work, my team for most of the run included three Alakazams just because I knew it would annoy one of my coworkers.

    Either Reshiram or Yveltal.

    Flareon, Zacian, Miraidon, and the new Ogerpon are high on my list

    trick question there are no other pokemon except eevee
    in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans
    i’d get fucked by a dragon pokemon
    Sir, is your pale white Vaporeon a shiny?
