    This is why I sincerely do not believe in ‘cancel culture.’ Who’s actually been cancelled? Cuz every time I’ve ever seen a rich/powerful/famous man get credibly accused of assaulting women (we’ve seen the Cassie Ventura video), he walks. Weinstein is the literal only exception I know of.

      Don Imus? He actually got fired. After a lot of apologies he got back on the air, though

        Yeah, this is baffling to me too. I guess it’s like all the serial killers who get love letters in prison.

      Michael Jackson didn’t go to jail, but it effectively ended his career. Cosby got destroyed. R Kelly eventually ended up in jail.

      Also remember the positive and negative of jury trials is that it takes one idiot in the 12.

        It’s so weird when y’all say cancel culture is just being punished for crimes you commit. “He raped someone and went to jail for it that’s cancel culture.” That’s a fucking weird statement.

        Also I don’t know why you think Michael Jackson’s career had been ended. He was scheduled to start a new tour the next month after his death.

        Interesting… So if you want to do a sexual abuse successfully it seems like you should try being white. I never expected this.

              Sentenced 5 months for an average 3 year sentence. Sentenced to 4 years only served 19 months. Expected to serve 9 of an 11 year sentence that was nearly two years shorter of a sentence than her male peer.

      Cancel culture is a bullshit term. You’re painting yourself as a member of an undesirable cadre. People below already provided multiple examples of accusations being well founded, so I won’t repeat them.
