It's remarkable how often and how easily people fail to detect sarcasm on the internet. He even prefaced it with "inb4"


To be fair, most of the OT doesn't have the ability to read and comprehend at the same time.

It does bother me. I was taking a shot at the board’s Lefties who usually respond with those phrases in these type of threads.

They canceled a quiz. Not a book event but a Harry Potter quiz.

decided to drop the annual children’s quiz that is usually held on the boy wizard


Hard to get worked up over that but some will.

Cancel Culture


I guess I haven’t figured out the nuances of cancel culture yet. This is bad, but when it was Yeti, Nike, and Keurig it was good? I mean the latter was certainly funnier because baws were videotaping themselves destroying shite they’ve already paid for.

And I’m not clicking that tabloid link.

People are just sick of virtue signalers. We have placated them enough, time for some to grow up.

They are not canceling “themselves”; they are canceling JK Rowling.
Rowling, the Leftist who in her books and influence on the movies derived from them, supports and celebrates Leftisms like the alphabet looney tunes bunch trying to cancel her and supports Socialism, opposed Brexit, supported Obama and Hilary.

Let them fight.

Why is this a bad thing? A festival celebrating a fictional Witch Society should have never started in the 1st place. Witches and other demonic cults have no place in civilized society, especially celebrated and lauded as being good for kids and family.


Know how I know you don’t like Halloween? Suck a bag of dicks.

Over things that matter, sure. Over a kids quiz at a book fair on an island 10,000 miles from here? Meh

I mean it isn't a big deal and getting triggered over a quiz in a New Zealand book festival is really stupid.

That's not to say the cancelling of the quiz was dumb though

Wow, we've come full circle. All the way back to 1998. Cancel the books! They promote witchcraft and satanism! Pull them from the library shelves!

They aren’t just going after celebrities. They are canceling normal people too.

I thought she’d already apologized and bent the knee over her comments? Was I just assuming that happened?


Even if she did, that's never enough to appease the woke mob. That's why people need to learn to never apologize to these fricks. Even if you reflect on it and feel you might have been wrong, frick em. Never give them anything. They're all pieces of fricking shite and they deserve nothing except a slow, painful death.

Nothing I said was wrong just because you posted inb4 doesn't make the thread any less dumb

Halloween is being cancelled piecemeal by the same folks. It's no longer allowable to go door to door, only state sponsored/approved Mall type settings open to each and every child as a singular group event is now allowed. All must receive the same treats too. Equitable Halloween!
