It isn’t cancel culture.
It’s consequence culture.
Cancel culture finds someone who did something 30 years ago that was perfectly within the bounds of acceptable social behavior back then and ruins their life because whatever it is they did is no longer within the bounds of acceptable social behavior.
Consequence culture respond to people doing things or saying things outside acceptable social behavior right now. When they should’ve known better.

Fallon was not afraid to rag on old Joe. Maybe Kimmel was. I never watched his show
I view Fallon a tad different than Kimmel and Cobert.
Fallon didnt spend 24/7 bashing DT and all things about DT like those two did.
Anyway crazy to think those shows lasted as long as they did becaucse they were gettting funnelled out tax payers money thru ngo's. No way they hang on loosing that much money without assistance.

Worse things have happened to better people dozens of times an hour for the past 1000 years - why should we spend one second 'caring' that some worthless piece of shite FINALLY got a taste of real world thought processes.
He wants to be listed as a comedian - but nothing he said was funny - and unless you think that making obnoxious insults about a murdered man is a proper foil for a failed comedian, then I have no idea what on earth you want us to care about
Things I care about - integrity, honesty, morality, humor, usefulness, beauty, peace == I find none of that in anything he ever did or said - I just do not care about him - and I don't care that I don't care.

I would agree with you except, What did the Conservatives do to deserve it over the last several years. The left were using cancel culture against anyone that opposed their world view. I know people that were fired because they refused to get the useless Covid Shot. They were publicly shamed and defunded (Through firing). It is not like we really did anything except speak the truth and point out what was wrong. The went hard at conservatives anyway. I don't think that there is any way to prevent the left from abusing power when they have it. They just want more power. silencing any opposition is what they always resort to.

It has been my experience that the only way to deal with a bully (the left in this case) is to bully them back.

I never watched Jimmy Kimmel. Really didn't think he was all that entertaining.
Here's the "bottom line": He was a corporate employee accountable to a board of directors. He failed to read the room, and it cost him.
The Trump Administration (government) didn't cancel him. The network did. They read the room and realized his comments were going to cost them BIG $$. Right or wrong, it was a financial decision by a private corporation.
Accountability is sorely lacking in this country. So, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade is still employed following his deeply controversial remarks suggesting “involuntary lethal injection” for homeless individuals who refuse help?

Where was the collective outrage for that? Apologize or not, that was wrong, and he should have been equally fired.

I canceled Kimmel because I thought his show sucked and quite honestly, he’s not a very likable person to support. frick him.

I firmly agree with your anti-cancel culture sentiment—not just even but especially when practiced by the right—but I don’t see this as a great example bc ABC did this on their own rather than as a result of a boycott, etc.

I don't wanna hear a lecture about cancel culture at all. Lefties have been dehumanizing and actively calling for violence against right wingers for years and now these loons on the left are taking them up on their rhetoric. You don't get to call people to violence, watch said violence come to fruition and then turn around and play victim.

I get what you are saying, I feel similarly, however this isn't really cancel culture.
Kimmel had horrible ratings, worse than recently canceled Colbert. He isn't funny. He is divisive. These are all facts. Then he said something really stupid, hurtful, and outright dishonest about an assassination. It wasn't even a poor attempt at humor. It was just him ranting, spewing a lie at a critical moment of pain for the country.
His bosses obviously didn't like it and viewed it as the last straw. That is their judgment and duty.

I don’t embrace cancel culture - I will fight for you to say whatever you want to say (though I may find it repulsive).
However, I do embrace “Accountability.” There is no way in hell I (or you) would survive my job spouting the lies this guy did (especially what he stated this week).

This isn't cancel culture. These are active calls to violence. You don't get to encourage others to commit violence against political opponents and then hide behind the first amendment. Lefties have been calling for violence for years and now they're shocked that people are taking them up on their prompting.
I don't get to tell people "Bob wants to kill all of you. Bob is evil and has active plans to put you into camps and destroy you. Bob wants to erase you! Bob must be stopped by any means necessary" and then turn around and act shocked when someone takes a shot at Bob.

What precisely did any conservatives have to do with this? Does you little brain grasp the fact that what happened here was entirely organic to Jimmy Kimmel, the network, and its affiliates? How does that compare to the Democrat administrations and state AG's that actively pressured financial institutions to de-bank companies and individuals who are Conservatives? Actively colluded with social media platforms to silence Conservatives? You might want to go find a corner and do some real thinking before starting any more threads here kid.

Tit for tat is the only way we can play this....they cancelled everyone they could turn about is fair play....when they go low we need to start kicking the shite out of them
Posted on 9/18/25 at 9:34 am to Tunasntigers92
If I walk into my job tomorrow and say some horrendous shite, I will definitely get fired. People who spew lies on purpose on a tv program should not be given special treatment. If I am smart enough to not get cancelled by controlling what comes out of my mouth, why can't other people be held to the same standard?
