Every other comedian who's gotten any pushback disappears for a month or two before popping back up with a handful of specials about how oppressed they are, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of Mike since The Incident.

Eh, I think there's a decent number of celebrities who's careers have been negatively affected by them getting busted doing some dumb/fucked up shit. It's just that it almost never actually negatively affects their careers that much, once you pass a certain threshold of fame it seems nothings really ever going to reduce you to a pauper, just a less successful famous guy.
As a side note, I've never found the whole "cancel culture doesn't exist" argument to be a very good one in debates with chuds. It always came off weird to me, like I thought we on the left actually DO want to hold public figures accountable for the shit they do, our response to the right criticizing us for that was to basically go "oh don't worry, it never actually works so don't worry about it". Even if we could prove that was true the right could just pivot to saying "okay but you WANT to do it, which is also bad". Like imagine if there was a debate between someone who supported the death penalty and someone who didn't and the former person's whole argument was "don't worry judges almost never actually give people the death penalty these days", uh, okay, so why not go ahead and abolish it then, if the only defense of it is that it never actually happens what's the point of supporting it? Always felt it would have been a better position to just stick to our guns and say "cancel culture is good actually".
