Cancel culture... it's a commie attack.. they want to destroy everything that made America what it is. Statues, our history, Captain America is gay now, Pepe La Pew gone
What was important is not just the memories we have of those characters, but what they represent. Captain America was the idea of America being a force of nature, super powerful and standing for what is right. Pepe La Pew was our recognition of male sexual energy, and drawing the line of what is too far (teaching an important moral lesson).
When they cancel/alter these characters they are trying to hurt us. Not just our cherished memories but they want to take away the lessons and tenets of our culture that were represented in these characters. It is a sophisticated psychological attack, and they don't care that they're losing money doing it.
So how should we react? I say we react by saying fuck you and your characters. We will make new characters. And they will keep the same lessons, the foundations of our civilization, and new ones we've learned. And we will never stop using art and culture to show what we believe in as an American people. You can take the characters, your "IP." We don't need them.
We need MAGA people to become mayors. We need them to become police chiefs. We need them to volunteer at the next election. But you know what else? We need artists, writers, comedians. all of it. CULTURE is what we need. And we need to be ready to accept losing the things that we grew up with, and getting ready to give the next generation a new set of characters.
We don't need our kids growing up with Bugs Bunny underwear, and then in 5 years they turn Bugs Bunny into a gay Mexican bunny that teaches kids spanish and has a transgender best friend. The corporations have turned on us and we need to create new things. Fuck them, we don't need them.
Hope this makes any sense to you guys. Been floating around in my head the last few days. Been thinking a lot about the culture war. Hope it isn't too off topic.
Captain America was always gay [in my opinion]. The character, not the idea. He just runs around with multiple internal crisis whilst throwing a shield. More or less a half assed Thor with a shitty back story. Seems voting with our wallets is the way to go as these dickholes hate lost revenue.
