Also I just realized that by buying more Seuss books these chuds are just giving the company that decided to stop publishing some old racist Seuss books even more money. The irony of these conservatives giving money to now support the canceler just blows my mind
Chuds have had the absolute worst time understanding how to do boycotts or really do civil disobedience in general over the past 5 years. There was ripping off the Nike logo on their shoes. That one time they were purchasing Keurig machines and breaking them. Now this thing. It's all theater and symbols, nothing actually that can change things.
i mean it's the same people who actually, legitimately, really broke into the nation's capital and had their sworn enemies within spitting range and rather than burning the whole place down they took a few selfies and went home
over the last 5 years
These are the same brain cramps who, back in the early 00's, bought and dumped french wine to own the french
Oh right, because of something something Iraq War. Also freedom fries.
I'm going to fake my own cancellation so that a bunch of chuds purchase my shit to trigger the libs. At this point, cancellation is an emerging marketing strategy.
Smh my head. Can't believe you're being cancelled. I'd like to buy 3 magpies in solidarity.
I've always had a soft spot for Mulberry Street, but beyond that, the books were pretty obscure ones.
In 2015 some Dr Suess books got pulled from print/sale because they featured racist caricatures. But the hysteria over cancel culture wasn't developed enough. The same thing just happened again but now it's an emergency. Even more crazy? It happened in like 2005 too. Every so often these books have been quietly pulled out of production and it's never been a problem. I expect production to begin on them again and in another 5-10 years we do this again.
They used to call it political correctness gone mad, I guess cancel culture is the new buzz word
Ceasing publication of books that aren't popular just happens anyway regardless of any racist drawings as well
Oh, yet another overreaction from conservatives then lol
- WAP: Women enjoy sex and that's fun
- Dr Seuss: It's actually a good thing Japanese people are being rounded up and put in concentration camps
yea i wonder why one of these faces more scrutiny
Apparently the trigger for this was eBay adding the now-unpublished Dr Seuss books to some list of "offensive materials" that aren't allowed to be auctioned on their site.
They of course still have auctions on copies of Mein Kampf.
It's very stupid, eBay is being stupid, and the chud reaction is even stupider.
The publisher pulled a book of his old WW2-era racist political cartoons, or something like that IDK. Whatever it is conservatives are really mad about it.
did seuss get cancelled? i'm like blissfully ignorant of this new fun thing
His estate decided to stop publishing a few of his books that have problematic elements. Chuds are acting pretty much how you'd expect.
I don't know if this can be explained by chuds. The chud reaction would have been to buy the books and then start a twitter trend of burning them. This seems like it's the case because tons of people have been talking about Seuss so some of them will have realized that they don't own any of the books and gone out and bought them.
Conspiracy: the outrage about removing some of the books from circulation was started by the company itself in order to spur sales.
It's not much of a conspiracy. Outrage marketing is usually behind most "cancel culture" headlines
This whole time I've assumed it was a gimmick to boost sales. I won't be surprised if the "offensive" books just mysteriously remain in print, either that or they were going to cease printing unpopular titles anyway and needed to clear old stock.
Almost as if every company learned from the Gillette "outrage" and know that dumbasses will give them money to support some dumbass "cause".
