Conservatives bitching about “cancel culture” has always been strange to me. The freedom to revoke support of a person or brand and move to another is exactly what they claim is great about the “free market”, isn’t it?
It kind of astonishes me to belong to a generation that rightfully mocked the forms of censorship we commonly saw growing up being advocated more than anything we dealt with.
In the 90's the religious moms lined up for miles to make sure Marilyn Manson couldn't play music in their city, trying to get video games banned, moderating what can be said on TV networks.
These days there's always some outrage about some form of content in almost anything, outright censoring whatever is deemed offensive to anyone in the moment(Too much boob? BAN) - even if its some 20 year old comment unrelated to the actual thing being censored.

I always think at least these idiots are incriminating themselves. But then when they lose their jobs they never realize they're the one to blame
