@georgetakei I thinkt he book awards can do whatever they like, and are within their rights. But it was the wrong decision. As far as I know Drew didnt hire any non-union writers, nor as she personally violated any of their asks... She is perfectly ok. The bigger issue is the cancel culture, I know I will not give any attention to the book awards (As is my right) due to this decision.

@freemo @georgetakei The show has her name on it, so she's ultimately responsible.Besides, 'Cancel Culture' has been around for thousands of years (ostracism), and will quite likely be around for many more.

It isnt just the act of boycotting, we have always done that and its fine. Its a Culture where boycotting is central to that culture, which is a recent development.@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei As hilarious as it is for you to brand this to cancel culture when that isn't real. Businesses have distanced themselves from people saying controversial things since the beginning of hollywood.Like there's no....this was the left doing it...to this. Ironically enough. The right literally started cancel culture from the start of america to begin with. With the church leading the charge and still doing so now. lol

@DryBird227 As I already explained in this thread. You clearly dont understand the meaning of "Cancel Culture". It isnt refering to a culture where boycotts happen from time to time. The name implies a culture where boycotting things is a central and dominant theme in the culture.> Like there's no....this was the left doing it...to this. Ironically enough. The right literally started cancel culture from the start of america to begin with.Who said anything about left, right, or who started Cancel Culture. Seems like your arguing against something you imagined I said that I never said (or came close to saying)... > With the church leading the charge and still doing so now. lolSure Cancel Culture is pretty common in church circles too, especially historically... how int he world is that relevant to what i posted though?@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei You didn't use the term out of thin air. Which means there's an insanely high chance the reason you used it is because republicans/conservatives made it known as a thing that happens.And of course. It doesn't. What people call cancel culture is just customer satisfaction. Or customer service. If a famous person does something others don't like. Those people are free to not bang with said famous person.

@freemo @georgetakei Again. They let her go because it was bad for business (something that doesn't get called cancel culture until it LOOKS like the left did it). Republicans/conservatives constantly cancel people for say...not supporting trump...all the time.But yeah. Crossing picket lines to any degree. Even if it's perceived that way. Is a no no. Even in business.

@DryBird227 @georgetakei Again. They let her go because it was bad for businessYea, sure.. I have no doubt they did this because they thought it would be in their best interests as an org. They did it for popularity, not any sense of morality, agreed. (something that doesn’t get called cancel culture until it LOOKS like the left did it).I mean, as myself being on the left, and the fact that I said nothing about left, right, or even politics, this seems nonsensical. It sounds more like your reading from a talking points script than engaging the topic as it is actually presented here. Republicans/conservatives constantly cancel people for say…not supporting trump…all the time.They sure do… you realize you arent disagreeing with me. This point just further proves (with yet another example) that we live in a Cancel Culture. But yeah. Crossing picket lines to any degree. Even if it’s perceived that way. Is a no no. Even in business.Yea even when crossing picket lines is morally ok, generally its avoided from a business standpoint.

@freemo @georgetakei I don't think her decision was the right one. We are at a critical crossroad with regards to many things, and her actions are a potential dent in the armor.Also, I'm not confused about cancel culture.It's not that boycotting is central to the culture, it's that the internet makes protesting that much easier, and therefore people don't actually have to go out and do something.Therefore what we have is not a culture of cancelation. That's always been around.+

@freemo @georgetakei Again. Popularity IS money. The more popular a thing is..the more money the people who created/run/etc get for it. And again. That's just business. Not cancel culture. Not identity politics. Not virtue signaling. Not political correctness.The church. The right. Cancels people of color, women, the lgbtq community, muslim people and jewish people constantly. And yet it's never called cancel culture. Why not? Because they're the ones who coined all those terms.

@freemo @georgetakei That's what "cancel culture" actually is. Boycotts are just a natural progress of customers of a product or people who enjoy blank..no longer liking, etc a thing.Only reason you think it's a culture is because the right told you to. It's literally just a thing people do. So again. I said what i said. lol

@DryBird227 Exactly! You are insisting on discussing the etymology of a term when the topic has **nothing to do** with its etymology. Instead of engaging with what I am saying, you are trying to tell me my words mean something other than what I am saying and thus trying to tell me what I am really saying, all the while fabricating narrative from that far removed fromt he topic.Its like you arguing about climate change and me disagreeing with you by arguing about the etymology of the word change and how hitler once used the word change in a sentence so you must be wrong.@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei Yes. A business stand point. Something businesses and business people have done for hundreds..maybe even thousands of years. I mean there's a reason why women aren't allowed to run stuff in the catholic church right? Because religion is a business.The fact you tied a business move to.."cancel culture" shows you have more right wing influence than you clearly think. Cause why else use that term when you could have just as easily said it was a business move? lol

I and others correct you.Your whole argument was who came up with the term.. you did nothing to define the term and show how the terms definition disagreed with the usage. You basically just screamed like a banshee how the right has used the term before and therefore invalid… as you point out its getting comical. It’s like watching a dog try to murder it’s own tail.No, Comparing you to the level of intelligence of a dog would be an insult to dogs everywhere.@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei I'm not because my point was that the central issue is not the cancelation mentality, it's the "I'm outraged now so lets do something now, preferably something that doesn't involve much effort".Actions have consequences, that's the basis for ostracism. So that basis will always be behind most responses to things like this.+

@freemo @georgetakei But the change we have now is not a shift in that mentality, its with the ease of access that we have to information and the ability to react to it almost instantly.We see a post that angers us and we can immediately reply to it, and repost it, express our anger, giving it greater visibility.But in that same way, we can see something online and immediately buy it.We've become a more visceral society, where we tend to act more impulsively than ever before.+

@freemo @georgetakei We are much more dependent on instant gratification, instant responses, sometimes even before we know all the facts.And that was my point. Society has always had ways to punish those it sees as transgressors, so what we're doing now isn't that different from what the Greeks started doing more than 2000 years ago.But this is part of a bigger issue, one that has ramifications in many aspects of our society.Simply put, this cancel culture is a symptom of a larger problem.

@freemo @georgetakei Conceptually I agree, but who's the "we" in this example?We're constantly seeing examples of things that make no sense, like censoring things because someone gets offended by it.Like you said, it's easier and easier for things to get removed no matter how small the protest or inconsequential the subject.And as a result we have good cancelations and bad cancelations, depending on which side each one of us is... 😉

@freemo @georgetakei I think it was already here before, but it got a significant boom when smartphones became a thing & we got instant access to anything & everything.As for the rest...The world is becoming more extremist in its views. Ppl are being pushed further & further apart, to the point where we almost sound alien to one another.That happened slowly with major help from social media & the ease with which it groups us with similar thinking ppl while separating us from everyone else.

@MaryPot You seem mistaken on what the term "Cancel Culture" means. A culture in which reasonable and occasional boycotts are employed is NOT cancel culture... thats just boycotting and its been around forever and its perfectly fine.Cancel Culture is pointing out a culture where **frivolous** boycotting is central the the culture. The distinction is important to having a productive conversation here.@georgetakei

@ciarin7 Incorrect, it’s a fact. Her show is listed as a struck show, and they will be picketing it.Yup, they were of the opinion that she was in violation, and decided to list the show as a striked show…The fact that they listed it as striked is fact. It is the strikers opinion, and the decision that fueled, that caused them to make that decision. …Not what the unions use to determine which shows are struck shows.Of course not, they use their opinions to determine what to strike, not mine, duh.When did I say my opinion is what unions base their decisions on? Its like your arguing against some imagined argument not even being discussed… your arguing against things i didn’t disagree with. Incorrect. Consequences may include boycotts, but boycotts are not the only consequences when there’s a backlash.This is really getting silly now.. you keep saying you disagree with me, then state a bunch of stuff that in no way disagrees with me.At no point did I say or even hint, that somehow boycotts are the only consequence when there is backlash… literally this whole comment was just you disagreeing with stuff I never asserted because you didnt bother to read what you disagreed with carefully first. IrrelevantSince you are arguing that a term i used means something other than what it meant, and that understanding terminology is key to accurate communitication, it is very much relevant at this point.@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei "Yup, they were of the opinion..."Nope, still a fact her show was already on the list of WGA shows and therefore struck. You may not like that fact, which is your opinion, but it remains a fact."This is really getting silly now."What's silly is that several people have attempted to explain to you what cancel culture is but you refuse to accept the correction."Since you are arguing that a term i used means something other than what it meant"irony

@ciarin7Holy hell, you are still arguing against fictional things I didnt say…. Nope, still a fact her show was already on the list of WGA shows and therefore struck.At no point did I say her show was or was not on the list of WGA shows.You are literally arguing with a fantasy of something being said that wasnt said, its really annoying. What’s silly is that several people have attempted to explain to you what cancel culture is but you refuse to accept the correction.How many wrong people need to say something before I am obligated to accept it as true? The number of people who may disagree with me doesnt really matter when they are all wrong… just like if I got a bunch of Trumpers in here all saying the same nonsense it doesnt make them right either. ironyFinally something we agree on.@georgetakei

@wendinoakland Bad behavior has consequences, nothing wrong with that. Thats not what the phrase "Cancel Culture" has issue with, boycotting bad actors responsibly is a good thing and should be encouraged, obviously thats not what the term "Cancel Culture" is refering to. The term "Cancel Culture" is when Canceling (boycotts) are both frivilous and have become central to our culture.Whether this is Cancel Culture vs responsible boycotting is obviously a matter of opinion. But those two concepts are also very different things.@georgetakei

@wendinoakland Yes I am the one who mentioned Cancel Culture. My point is what you are describing, namely "bad behavior erases you from the story", is NOT what Cancel Culture is. We would just call that boycotting. Its responsible and when justified what society SHOULD do.My point is responsible boycotting, as you describe, is distinctly different from Cancel Culture which is where boycotting is using frivilously, irresponsibly, against actors who are not clearly bad actors but nebulous at best, and where such canceling is central to the culture.Im all for good responsible boycotts, but Cancel Culture, the irresponsible use, is a valid concern and good to call out as well.Now as i said if this counts as a legit boycott or Cancel Culture is a a matter of opinion.@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei "At no point did I say her show was or was not on the list of WGA shows."You said "they were of the opinion that she was in violation, and decided to list the show as a striked show." which is incorrect.Her show was already on the list of WGA shows, before she decided to bring the show back. It was a struck show before this controversy. Her show is struck based on the rules of the guild, she had WGA writers. It's not based on opinion, as you erroneously claimed.

@ciarin7I dont know how many times your going to agree with me and start it with “incorrect”… but here we go again… Her show was already on the list of WGA shows, before she decided to bring the show back.And at what point did I say that wasnt the case? Her show is struck based on the rules of the guild, she had WGA writers.Yup. When the people who compiled the list had to form an opinion on which qualified and which didnt they used the rules of the guild to do so. Since she had WGA writers in the past they decided to add it to the striked list. It’s not based on opinion, as you erroneously claimed.My best guess is that your misunderstanding what the word opinion means.You do realize you can hold an opinion that happens to be fact right? An opinion may or may not be fact or based on fact. While opinions that arent facts will always just be opinions, opinions which are facts, are still opinions, they are fact-based opinions.Here is the definition fromt he dictionary”“a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.”Pay close attention to the word “necessarily”, clearly showing opinions are still opinions even when they happen to be rooted in facts.@georgetakei

Any talk show that has wga writers is a struck show when the wga goes on strike. It's not based on opinion. Pretending it's an opinion is false, you need a better argument if you want to pretend what she did isn't in violation of the strike."at what point did I say that wasnt the case?"you keep claiming it's an opinion.

@ciarin7 Again you clearly dont understand the meaning of the word opinion... When an opinion is formed solely based on facts, it is still an opinion...You seem to think opinion means "not a fact, just my personal idea i formed on a whim"... thats not the definition of an opinion. I already showed you the definition of an opinion and why an opinion based on fact is still an opinion...Thus why you keep thinking your disagreeing with me when your not.. you think im saying "its an opinion not a fact" when in reality im saying 'Its an opinion, and an opinion can be a fact"> you keep claiming it's an opinion.Yes I do, saying something is an opinion is **not** the same as saying it isnt a fact, as I have said multiple times and you refuse to listen.@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei "Unfortunately no, the facts determined **you** are incorrect."Nope. You claimed the wga strikers used opinion to determine her show as struck, it isn't.You claimed cancel culture is a frivolous boycott, it's not. Cancel Culture is a catchphrase for people who don't want to admit consequences exist. The fact remains a talk show that has had wga writers is a struck show when those writers go on strike. If that show is broadcast during a strike, it will be picketed.

@MaryPot No not at all.Usually when there is a strike the company continues to operate with the striking workers vacant. As a general rule as long as that persons position isnt replaced to nullify the strike then there are no issues. Since as far as I know the show did not replace the striking workers, and did not hire any new writers, they are fine.@georgetakei
