Please. "I'm not saying we should do something about it, but oh my gosh, look how offensive it is".
- rfw300 6y agoI suppose all criticism is cancel culture if you just pretend the “cancel” part is there.
- luckylion 6y agoCriticism != What this article does. Tone and style makes the difference between criticism and the works of the Schreibtischtäter. It's a great German compound word from Schreibtisch (=desk) and Täter (=perpetrator). It's the person sitting at a desk, keeping their hands clean, writing to make others do the dirty work.
- Jonnax 6y agoWhat dirty work? Didn't this guy get $69 million dollars? And you're using a word which from the wikipedia article is described as: "The term "desk murderer" (German: Schreibtischtäter)[1] is attributed to Hannah Arendt and is used to describe state-employed mass murderers like Adolf Eichmann, who planned and organised the Holocaust without taking part in killings personally." I'm amazed.
- UncleMeat 6y agoFor real. Dude just made an enormous amount of money and was catapulted into broad fame by it. This is the opposite of being cancelled.
- luckylion 6y ago> What dirty work? Didn't this guy get $69 million dollars? That was _before_ the article. Obviously you can't cancel people before you know about them.
