Morgan Wallen says the N-Word

You could argue it's part of a free market society for sure and I would agree with you. I don't think the people who 'cancel' people are a majority of society though. I don't think the woke crowd is the majority of society. I could be wrong. Just from my observation but I live in a place that, generally, isn't very woke (other than Austin which is woke enough for the whole state).

I am not getting the tie to capitalism, however.

Either way, I don't like it. You can like free market society and not like every part of it. Just like you can be a D or R and not like every part of the party. Or hell, even be a libertarian and not like every part of the party. Or any party for that matter.
Again, who is calling for him to be cancelled?

Most of what I see is people calling him a stupid drunk moron who is potentially damaging his lucrative career by acting like an asshole. Seems like an accurate read of the situation from where I’m standing.

You're smarter than this, Torbee. There are other places to read other than HROT and the Quad Cities newspaper. Get on the cesspool of twitter and read the cancelling yourself.

So, the only cancelling I have seen so far is that iheart Radio has taken off his music from their platform. They have made a corporate decision not to carry his music at this time.

If you have a problem with that, take it up with them.

It's a corporate decision to try and satisfy the woke crowd. Don't have a huge problem with that.

I am talking about the individuals who are all over twitter/FB/whatever else people are on trying to say he's a bad person and ruin his career when, I would think, 90% of them have never heard of him or his music. It's the whole "someone was mean/said something I didn't like so I am going to make sure I try and ruin their lives" crowd.

The people who sent pictures of the white house break in people to their employers. Those people are scum of the earth.

Snitches get stiches.

I am on Twitter often, following legit journalists and sports reporters I like. Oddly, I don’t see a lot of crap cancel bullshit. Maybe people should be more discerning when they create their following list?

You seem opposed to people having consequences for their actions. Odd take, but you are entitled to your opinion.

Of course there is. I do not understand the mentality of someone not listening to good music because the person who put that music out said something they don't like/agree with. Makes no sense to me.

Especially the woke crowd that probably gets excited when Michael Jackson comes on at the bar.

Why are you so concerned about the reasons that people choose to listen or not listen to a particular music artist?

He'll be fine. He just dropped the n-word and pretty obvious he was comfortable using it. It's not like he was three "chicks" from "dixie" that had the audacity to question the Iraq war and was ashamed. That would kill his career.

The term "cancel culture" is another example at how great the GOP is at branding and how poor the democrats at it.....the GOP literally changed the name of the french fry because France objected to war, but through the magic of branding and marketing have cornered the market on labeling the other side "cancel culture"

Well, a Major Radio outlet has "canceled" him, so I'd venture to say others will follow as media pressure will follow. We now live in a society that is pretty much one (screw up) and you're done.

Again, the "woke crowd" isn't his target market....he's a country star. I guess this country is so racist now that if you think the N word is inappropriate you are part of the "woke crowd"? K. My senior citizen parents will be happy to know they are part of that group.

This dude has a history of being a drunken douchebag, this is just the latest thing. He should get cancelled for that haircut....people not supporting someone they think is a douchebag is just a harsh reality of capitalism I guess. Grab a kleenex if necessary

You idiots, people complain about cancelation when it isn't just.

The punishment doesn't fit the crime. It's an angry online mob that uses their leverage to get what they want. I don't support them if they're not reasonable.

Their want isn't reasonable.
 
We found the "all lives matter" guy.
As someone who’s mostly black-Asian even I don’t really care. If there are rules about it then rules should apply to everyone. If you have no problem if certain people say it then your opinion is garbage to me. iHeart radio plays songs that have the n-word in the lyrics.
 
They’re still selling his new album, so I don’t know what this means. He can’t record new music, which he wasn’t scheduled to do?
His label dropped him...whatever that means.

He’ll persona non grata for a while

He’s “suspended” from his record label. His album just came out, so he’s not due to record for a while. This feels like Urban Meyer suspending players for the off-season.

I disagree. I think people who storm our nation's Capitol, which represents this great country, are the scum of the earth. They should have been outed. I would out anyone whom tried to overthrow the government.

As it relates to Morgan Wallen, he screwed up and there appear to be consequences. That's how life goes. Actions have consequences.

Maybe more serious than that :D:D

Saying that word is certainly wrong and the issue in my OP was the people trying to cancel him for saying it. I would assume these people have never done anything stupid in their lives. Those people are the woke crowd.

No doubt actions have consequences. I agree wholeheartedly. Just to try and understand where you're coming from RE: Wallen, for an example, a powerful person/influencer on social media who had never heard of him before and had no clue this guy even existed before this incident. They are on social media calling for his head and to cancel him. Is that right?

RE: the capital thing, I picture zit laden nerds sitting in their mom's basement at 25 years old trying to find these people on the internet to turn in. Don't they have something better to do? Again, snitches get stiches unless it was one of the folks that killed a cop then turn em in and burn em in hell.

Disclaimer: I know they all weren't zit laden mom's basement 25 year olds.
