to change a culture? I suppose social media has sped that up to 14 years.

I was shocked to realize that Robert Downey Jr was nominated for an academy award in 2009 for going black faced, in Tropic Thunder.

How the he'll he hasn't been canceled is a miracle.

We were warned. We kept giving the stupid and irrational more political power…

It's social pressure and the mob on a global scale, thus the speed of it.

Btw, did Downey win? He should have. Outstanding!

i know who i am, i am the dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude.

it's pretty clear really.

They gonna get Ben stiller next. Portraying a character who had a role as simple Jack is surely cancellable this day and age

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same - President Ronald Reagan

Social media gives every village idiot a voice they didn't used to have, and it makes it seem like they are the majority when they never have been.

No. This started 3 generations ago. Virtually every movie portrayed anyone with religious or family values as being backwards and hateful. The hero of the story was always someone who was 'progressive' and rejected tradition or values.

And Gen Xer's let their kids watch unlimited television And be on screens at the dinner table for fear of not being progressive and embracing "technology".

We sowed the seeds of our own demise.
