Why even go back to Nero burning Christians alive? Let's just pretend people getting upset about stuff is new.
I think my favorite is back in the good old days when no one got offended it was considered scandalous that Carol Brady was written as a divorced woman rather than just making both of their former spouses dead. The Brady Bunch offended people. People were offended by a fake woman being fake divorced from her fake husband rather than just fake killing his fake ass. Ah, but cancel culture...it's totally new and spooky! LOOK OUT!
Sesame Street was also banned in areas for showing a multi-cultural neighborhood. Look out Big Bird, they're coming for you! Was Barry Goldwater warning us about cancel culture when this was going on?
Let's just put Vietnam and the civil rights act on the backburner and talk about The Brady Bunch.
My response was meaning it is not just the right complaining. I understand cancel culture has been around for a long time.
It just sucks a lot more now with technology, social media and instant access to everything.
That paragraph about the Brady Bunch.
