      A hater tried to cancel you because Bulbasaur is “problematic,” but I’ll uncancel you because Bulbasaur is very cute and should be cherished

          You can’t know them, when the council of awakeness performs the ritual of cancellation, the person is erased from existance, which includes everyone’s memories, as if they never existed. Even the number of people who underwent this treatment is unknown, but we estimate trillions.

          Several conspiracy lunatics got deplatformed. Trump literally got canceled off twitter, until his buddy Musk bought it back.
          After #meToo and before his sentencing, I’m pretty sure Harvey Weinstein didn’t do much movie producing either.

          Influencers/personalities who don’t get into illegal or seditious speech don’t usually get deplatformed, so they have the option to stick around through heinous acts and subsequent harassment (e.g. the Paul brothers).

          However canceling DOES work against people with, like, any semblance of humanity who can’t wall off a continuous barrage of rape and death threats. Lindsay Ellis straight up closed up shop following a harassment campaign over some really stupid shit I can’t even remember (she’s back on Nebula now, but she’s still off YouTube).

            you can’t say someone like trump got cancelled when he is like fighting for presidency of the largest military cult to ever exist or whatever he’s up to these days.

            If you want to establish cancel culture as a thing you have to

            1. show that people can be barred from publicity and financial success

            and

            1. show that it is different from what happened in the past with reactions to scandals.

              No true Scotsman, eh?

              Johny Depp? Dude lost work. It impacted him. He was cancelled.

              Kevin spacey is another one. Louis CK. These are people who had work impacted because of alleged behaviors and actions they took.

              Not gonna get more nuanced with you about it. It’s a real thing. You’ve been given plenty of examples.

                They are all rich and famous, Louis ck is a self confessed sexual harasser.

                All of them are still around, rich, and have a platform. Nothing that happened to them is different from past scandals.

                Shit Jonny Dep is definitely a shitty abusive person and somehow everyone thinks he’s a pure victim because his propaganda campaign was so effective.

                Weird, what you seem to call “cancel culture”, I would call “consequences for actions”

              1. I just did. Lindsay Ellis got her carreer fucked by it.
              2. Why? Just because the word changes doesn’t mean the principle isn’t still the same. And just because reactionaries like to call any mild backlash “cancelling” doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing.

      You’d think so, wouldn’t you? I mean who wouldn’t want to fuck a blobfish? I’ll tell you who wouldn’t want to fuck a blobfish; people who have fucked a blobfish.

      Sure, it looks enticing, a surfaced blobfish, what with its pouty face and honker’s nose, ooh with its soft, squishy flesh and a little, non-threatening fins, boop bogga zoop dogga doop with its innocent nature and trusting eyes. It wants to be fucked. That’s what it looks like its made for. It’s a fuck fish! That’s what everyone who has fucked a blobfish told themselves. It’s what I told myself before I fucked a blobfish, but it…

      Gaahh.

      As soon as you push your penis into that squisher’s flabby flesh, you understand, and I mean truly understand, why it’s called a blobfish. Your throbbing dong has nothing to work with in in there, just pure tepid jelly. There is no feeling, no sensation. My mind went blank as my numb meat wobbled aimlessly. Thrusting did no good, how could it? It’s all blob. There’s no back and forth sensation to speak of, just all blob.

      After a while, and this is something that happens to everyone who fucks a blobfish, the blobfish just kinda sloughed off my dangler. I didn’t even notice. I was in a stupor. As feeling and conciousness returned to me, I realized by the tenderness in my penis, that I had ejac’d several times over the course of only a half hour of being fleshly engaged with that blobfish, but did I feel any of those glopper pops? Nope. Not a one. Instead, that tender post-ejac feeling stuck with me months after that blobfish dropped off my cock and splatted on the pavement (yeah, I fucked a blobfish outside on the sidewalk).

      Not worth it. If you feel like you want to fuck a blobfish, believe me when I say that you don’t want to fuck a blobfish.

      “Unfortuante” doesn’t begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don’t see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

      I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won’t get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but World Cup is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I’ll suffer through a few more games for them.

      One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.

      I did a playthrough of crystal last year and was playing it on breaks at work, my team for most of the run included three Alakazams just because I knew it would annoy one of my coworkers.

    You shouldn’t be giving a single, solitary crap about what “cancel culture” wants.

      We give a crap because it can ruin lives with pitchfork justice. It was supposed to be a palliative to shitty regular justice but the newfound power found madness.
