Nothing says benevolent like 15 year olds boofing ketamine in their asshole while on a 10-strip of LSD and 300mg mdma at 4 a.m. in the parking lot at "Wookie McCookerson's Jamboree Special" the day before the festival even starts.

Don't you see the connection? Nazis and cancer both are "cancel cultures". If you don't cancel them, they will cancel you. They will metastatize like the cancer in bob marley's toe or the political cancer in Germany spreading out over Europe.
Some things must be cancelled for the greater good, just like unsafe nuclear power plants should be shut down.
I see the connection. Do You see the other one? Your rational was literally how they justified what they did 
Highly recommend everyone looks up Ur Fascism.
There's a reason people drop the f word at anyone they don't agree with. Fascism does not have a solid definition. Only characteristics.

Cancel culture can be as toxic as the individuals, groups, and communities they oppose & try to silence & police - and just because they “cancel” those they cannot accept for holding different views that they abhor - doesn’t mean they actually did anything good. . . In fact it’s largely counter productive. The thing they cancel just moves underground till it pops up elsewhere until it thrives. It can grow like hydra Every time you cancel 1 person, not to mention the real possibility of instilling and sowing more resentment, or more hatred, or further ignorance and intolerance In both parties involved. But I also don’t have to like everyone or need everyone to like me or agree with me, or me agree with them to coexist peacefully with them while I work towards understanding them better - for the sake of the greater & higher good of myself & others.
Real problems are very hard to solve & cancel culture is not a true solution. And rather than dealing with them as such, with skillful means, cancel culture operates like It’s a short term band aid fix - a cover up.
A hit of smack to keep people doped up and stupid to the fact that the very problem they just ignored by taking another hit to cover up the problem is now merely temporarily pushed out of sight & out of mind - but not gone - often leading those who practice it prone to delusions & illusions about the world and human nature. Leading to people becoming more ignorant and becoming overly sensitive and easily triggered to personal adversity and social obstacles due to spending to much time In the sterile environments that act like echo chambers to which they become dependent upon for their very sense of well-being & identity- when just outside that safe space, is the world at large and the real problems - and the real world is where we live our actual lives. Better to become resilient, brave, and strong in mind & body, than give in to some psychic hit of dope like cancel culture until your so dependent upon it you can’t function naturally.
If a website upholds cancel culture as a practice - that’s on them it’s their business they can formate it how they see fit - and individual consumers are free to participate or go elsewhere should they choose.
But good moderating of forum regulations & rules & guidelines to maintain a balanced online environment - and upholding the rule Law of One’s country - are two separate matters; Even though at times they can both have rulings that they both uphold.
It takes a fine balance to walk the middle path, but the fruit it brings is quality. Extremism forgoes that, and it’s fruit is not generally of quality.

I don't think it belongs to this place at all and anything like that shouldn't be encouraged. A community like this can solve issues with people and their opinions by discourse or bans and warnings from the staff. Take yesterday's Ron Jeremy thread for example. Two different opinions were voiced immediately and emotional arguments and discussions were had. Problem? Should opposing views be cancelled here as long as they aren't showcasing hatred or anything else against the rules and good discussion? Should certain members be "canceled" because they said or did something deemed inappropriate? I don't think so. Twitter is an entirely different world and this is an anonymous message board on top of it all. I don't know how cancel culture would even work here. Maybe I don't know enough about it

True.
It's a pendulum swing though. Lots of people put up with shit for a long time. Feels good to be told you don't have to.
But that goes both ways too. There's a positive way to do this and a negative. The negative just results in hostile segregation.

What's called "cancel culture" - public backlash when someone does or says something offensive, is a form of group shaming, where the object of condemnation (sometimes a company) is usually seen as something between bad and evil. (Of course what offends Larry doesn't offend Lisa, but Lisa is usually ignored - only the outraged get a vote for damnation!)
I think shaming people for their view points often inhibits honest discussion. How many people actually voice their strong opposition to the BLM agenda? Why would they if they could face severe repercussions? Your house could be burned down for voicing such an opinion. Probably would be.

Exactly.
And the inhibiting of that open & honest discussion is highly highly dangerous. It must be preserved & protected for it is one of mankind’s greatest assets in this life. Skillful Discernment & Keen Investigation go out the window when people are no longer free to express their own Minds as their own Mind is known directly to themselves.

I know this. The people drag their neighbors out of their houses, pour gas on them and set them on fire in front of their house in their street for being gay or trans. Lesbians receive "correctional rape" and sometimes are then murdered after.
I was talking of Bob Marley in person though, he was a special man, not harping on the virtues of Jamaica.

The thing about cancel culture is Bob marley could be said to have dismissed or even aided that culture.

I am curious as to what he thought about homosexuality since he was raised there and at a time when I'm sure that ANYONE that tried to come out or be gay there was tortured, beaten, run out of town, or even killed. Not to mention his many wives, but they better not fuck ANYONE else, but I digress.

Wasn't he rastafarian and therefore against homos? Or maybe not since he was all about peace and love between everybody.

This is what bugs me, I'll never know that answer about him. I will NEVER go to Jamaica to find out/ask around either, fuck that! I cringe when I hear reggae now, like MJ's music.

Nothing comes up on google? Well, maybe the gay pride wasn't a thing when he lived and they just all had to hide. Goddamnit, I am too lazy to research myself

Bob nearly got cancelled himself, by the CIA apparently. They tried it with bullets.

You should be cringing at Christmas Carols and hymns as well. It was Christians who introduced sodomy laws to Jamaica and started all the nastiness. The US only just shrugged these laws off less than a generation ago.
But no, if I was you I wouldn't go asking around in Jamaica. Heck, if I was me I wouldn't do that.
