One random person saying something on the internet =/= being cancelled…it’s just like, her opinion dude

Cancel culture was always wildly overblown and I’d submit has been lapped three or four times by anti-cancel culture whining at this point…and that’s before you start considering if the critique is even made in good faith….backlash to certain shyt is so predictable you get people throwing shyt like this out for the engagement

He's not being cancelled. A stupid person is being stupid on tiktok.

Listen to the way she discusses fictional characters. One of many reasons art literacy is declining boils down to large groups of people being unable to understand or grapple with anything they don't agree with. On one hand she says Baldwin is a complex person. On the other hand she is upset that he'd dare...write a story featuring multiple complex, grey characters who are not all "good" or all "bad" because they are human beings. She wants the author to put disclaimers in his (fictional) novels stating "I denounce this character beating his wife and acknowledge this is very bad behavior I in no way endorse or enjoy."

You cannot discuss art with these people. And clearly you cannot discuss race or gender criticism with these people either. Peep her disdain at the mere idea of a black man having things harder than anyone. They despise black men. We're perhaps the only group of men they feel they have the power to destroy, and clearly they're trying.
