Going back to my example - among those thousands of star wars books, there are some which are incredibly bad nowadays, sexist, racist, or just pure trash that came and went. I suspect its impact on the actual Star Wars the franchise was zero.
>>Today's outrage culture could cancel you, even if you did nothing wrong.
Maybe, but I don't want to live in a world where worrying about it restricts my choices. If someone wrote a book where the Pooh is now a dictator running a fascist hundred mile forest, and it somehow sold a million copies......then I'm going to laugh at the idiots calling for the original to be cancelled. They shouldn't be given any authority over this, outrage on twitter is cheap.
- OtomotO 5y ago"what could happen should stop us" this is the base assumption for a lot of laws and compliance bullshit. So apparently, yes. Also, you don't want to live in such a culture. That is fine. You may create something beautiful and then "donate" it to the public domain. The choice is yours entirely. Again, as a consumer I totally understand where you're coming from. As a producer I would think differently (that's simply empathy though, I am not a successful producer)
