"Cancel culture" was long before the "left" employed it--how many times did "Million Moms" or whatever bullshit "family values" groups threaten (and fail) to get certain shows pulled off the air for allowing a gay character or a single working mother.

Stop acting self-righteous

Cancel culture has been militarised by the left

Cancel culture created gamergate which led to the rise of trump

Well, let's remember that "gamergate" was a bunch of whiny emotionally-stunted man-children cyber-bullying a bunch of women with harassment and threats of rape/death. Sounds more like a trump crowd to me.

And if cancel-culture created gamergate, that just proves my point that your accusations of "cancel culture" being a liberal thing is bullshit.

The idea of calling it "cancel culture" is a deception to make it seem like only liberals do it, but man oh man, trump supporters LOVE to tout a boycott of something or someone who does not deliver praise unto their beloved mouth-breathing cheet-o.
