What was the first cancelling of the modern era?
i meant the modern celebrity/social media era but sure
those captialist running dogs got owned
I thought he was cancelled a long time ago. Children's author who hates children.I think Enid Blyton, who's last works were in the mid sixties is getting cancelled today
ah shite, I'm mixing them up with Roald Dahl. He was supposed to be a cantankerous poxHaha this reminds me of big arguments we had when I was maybe in 2nd class about whether Enid Blyton was a man or a woman. She was actually a woman
She wrote some great books, in fairness to her.

Sure every one was antisemetic back then, you’d nearly get cancelled if you weren’tNo he was a shit to his family, and also antisemetic I think.
You are correct, Blighton was cancelled some time ago. Can't be having gollywogs in Noddy books.
One of my classmates used to call me Jew because I had a big nose, the teacher told us they had big noses. I think I moaned about that here before. I must try and cancel the pair of them some day soon.
YOU CAN TALK YOU CAN TALK YOU CAN TALK!!Kramer?
This came up in work yesterday, and obvs everyone was very much against Adichie, and kind of took it for granted she's actually transphobic because she doesn't say exactly the right thing. It's weird the way people conflate disagreement with hatred

Two thoughts on this occurred to me afterwards.
First is this - is it plausible that when people say "trans women are women" they mean "there is a category of humans called 'women' which includes biological women and trans women" ... but so-called transphobes think they mean "trans women and biological women are exactly identical", and disagree? And all the gnashing of teeth is simply a failure to be linguistically precise?
Second is this - fantasy writers often construct worlds where words are all-powerful (e.g. Ursula K. LeGuin in the Earthsea stuff, also Patrick Rothfuss's Name Of The Wind books), which IMO is a kind of wish-fulfillment thing for people whose stock-in-trade is words. Could cancel culture be a reflection of us all becoming convinced that words are more important than actions, as a consequence of the internet making us all into writers?
