These dudes cry about people being snowflakes and cancel culture then boycott shit like Mr. Potato Head and the Barbie movie or M&Ms because they have market strategies that don’t specifically placate their personal insecurities. Pure projection and hatred. It is truly embarrassing. Yes, people that do deplorable stuff end up getting defended, however cancel culture is indeed today's scourge. We have reached a point where people that make mistakes are never given a true chance to apologize, nobody is redeemable. I find the whole cancel culture truly deplorable on the whole. If Tony apologized for what he said, then it's time to drop it and move on. Having said all that, I wouldn't want Tony on the Canucks because we need better leadership then what he can seemingly provide. Give me the Schenn and Foligno brothers instead.

Certainly not in all cases but from what I've seen, "cancel culture" largely goes after people that double down on their ignorant/hateful/archaic stances rather than attempting to learn from them, improve as people, and indeed redeem themselves (and like minded folks who come in to defend those stances). That's not a cancel culture problem, that's a not adapting to modern society that rightly, actively discourages ignorant/hateful/archaic stances problem. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, the ignorance on here refusing to acknowledge I was arguing second chances and not racist remarks, I can completely cope with someone not wanting the player over their abilities but not over a one time mistake they made when they were 17 that they publicly apologized for… maybe he hasn’t changed but all signs have pointed to him changing his character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In DeAngelo’s case, being in the NHL and travelling around as much as they do you’d think that at a certain point he’d be exposed to enough people and situations that are different from himself that he could mature a bit. Unfortunately the dude is like 27 and follows a philosophy that fetishizes ignorance. Don’t know if there’s much hope at this point that the guy is going to grow up. I’m just glad he isn’t on our team — I’d be pretty choked if I was a Canes fan and had this dude brought into the locker room. Have you and I been following the same sport all these years? Hockey players being mature? Guys like the Sedins are exceptions to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with consequences for one's actions. I'm sure that if someone recorded all your words over the last 20 years, you'd have a lot of things you could get cancelled for.

bishopshodan Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 In my time they were trying to cancel D&D, heavy metal, and people with Aids. It's nothing new. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been suspended once in the nhl at age 21 for abuse to an official after an official was holding onto him long after a scrum and he pushed the officials arms downwards, he also was under scrutiny because of his emotional comments after a loss ran high with georgiev that ultimately lead to them getting in a fist fight so yes he’s had a couple questionable character issues but ultimately the way new teammates spoke of him seems like he’s not a bad apple or anything, I’m rooting for him to have a successful and long problem free career going forward and hope people can forgive his teenage years and allow him to grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you don't think it's a big deal then it's cancelling and that's bad, but, if you're offended by something they are just facing consequences for their actions? That sure sounds like you're advocating "Rules for thee but not for me" depending on how you decide to perceive something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s those darned conservative folk causing all the problems. I wonder why it is people tend to have more conservative views as they get older and wiser?
