If you are in a cemented position of power, no amount of outrage will actually get you removed from that position. Secondly, the removal of one individual person operating within a racist and exploitative system is not going to fix the system itself. There is no such thing as cancel culture for the people that truly need to be canceled. There is no such thing as accountability. Look at the metoo movement. It was used as a sledgehammer against a couple of famous celebrities and creeps in various positions of power; but as soon as the Tara Reade allegations came to light, they burned that shit to the ground.
What the fuck does this even mean, lmao. How the fuck am I gaslighting someone for saying accountability at the tippy top of the class system is not real. It's not. People go after C-List youtubers because that's all the fucking power they have. And instead of realizing she said something mean and stupid, she doubles down and hides behind anonymous Vietnamese content creators saying "what you said wasn't that big a deal".
It's gaslighting to say cancel culture doesn't exist, because it obviously fucking does, there's a sizable portion of people who go out of their way to try and get people cancelled, ie; removed from public society or generally punished for saying things they disagree with. Like you are still trying to do with Lindsay right now. Saying that there's too much unfair backlash against it is one thing but to say it flat out isn't real is absolutely gaslighting. It's trying to manipulate people's minds, making them doubt their own experiences.
And i'm sorry, but nothing she said in the original tweet is incorrect or offensive, you will not make me buckle. Raya isn't "Asian Art" it's a fucking disney product, and the similarities between it and avatar go beyond being vaguely asian. Honest trailers made the same observation and they didn't get any notable backlash, because:
they weren't wrong
their fans aren't on twitter as much
People weren't already mad at them for not cutting ties with contrapoints when they were cancelling her for the "crime" of getting someone with one bad opinion but is mostly known as "the dude with the pussy" to read a line in her video
That's moving the goalposts. Just because it's not effective against truly powerful people doesn't mean it doesn't existl. It just means you're not good at cancelling 😎. Also, Todd in the Shadows is not anonymous.
