So when Dr Seuss was cancelled, I realized that anything can be cancelled. I’ve always wanted a grand film collection, and now seemed to be the excuse to do it. I want y’all to know anything y’all have on your iPad or Kindle can be revoked by Amazon or Apple, which is why I’ve been advocating for people to buy physical copies of everything they hold dear because they’re going to take a lot of this shite away.

His reasoning makes no sense. Buy a ton of DVDs, watc them, have them in your collection, cool. But to buy physical copies of "everything you hold dear" is just bad advice Cancel culture is the absolute worst. But not THAT much movies and TV that I love has been cancelled.

Hulu removed one or two episodes of Always Sunny. One of them was a really funny episode and it was removed because of black/brown face. Considering the context, it was dumb to remove it. But that is two episodes out of 15 seasons of a pretty offensive show. Does that mean I should go out and buy $100-1,000's of dollars on DVDs to protect the things I love? No. I would watch those episodes maybe once every 5 years at the most. 99.999% of what i love has not bee banned and won't be. Some obscure Dr. Suess being banned does not make me think otherwise.
