    I don't think so, I don't know how he's still around after just saying the n-word on live TV a couple years ago.

        Yeah he said it to Ben Sasse of all people and referred to himself as “Not being a House N-Word”

        To Ben Sasse, who was like uhhhhhhhhh okay dude?

        Edit: then he thought having Eric Michael Dyson and Ice Cube on to yell at him made it all better. Cube called him out on only fucking black women and Maher got visibly pissed at him.

      Around the same time of that, Rose McGowan went public about some WTF sexual comments he made at her. Maher didn't get MeToo'ed cause to libs, Rose is just some crazy left winger that no one should listen to.

    I was trying to cancel him because he sucks, not for any specific reason.

    All the media figures who were edgy in the 90s are terrified of being cancelled because what is considered socially acceptable has changed so much. That's why seemingly otherwise good people like Matt Taibbi are so vehemently against "cancel culture".

            The eXile's writing was in large part a parody of the depravity of western ex pats in post soviet russia, and they wrote a few passages where they sexually assaulted Russian women. They wrote it as something they did, so people thought it was something that actually happened. Iirc, some reporter followed up, interviewing the women interns mentioned, and they said it was false. Matt also posted a long apology/contextualization on fb. You can probably find the links pretty easily.

            Obviously, something that looks a lot different now than in 90s Russia, even as parody.

    Didn't his old show get cancelled when he said the military were cowards after 9/11?

    Hell yeah, let's listen to the old rich white guy bitch about things he doesn't understand because he's trapped in a bubble of fragile privilege.

    Bill Maher is proof that cancel culture is bullshit.

    This asshole gets away with anything and everything he does. A few years ago he dropped the N word and not a peep from all the smug liberals that worship him.

    No, he's not going to be cancelled or anything. They're OK with him.

      The N-word thing is nothing compared to him saying that he hopes people who don't vote for Biden are happy when they're forced to carry rape babies to term. The motherfucker is the lowest form of slime. Pretentious shiteating fuck. I hope he dies alone and in agony.

      He's the only guy that almost makes me want to argue against things I believe in just because the way he says them is so fucking annoying.

    You know you're a spinless coward when you have to frame your opinion as "THE TRUTH".
