Looks like the opposite to being cancelled, by be promoted.

It's old White men like Roy chubby Brown that get cancelled.

Nobody.

But they want her to be, because of something she said, which goes against everything they believe. But because she is a black woman she doesn't deserve to be employed in an advert because they got offended at words she used.

Wanting to and actually taking action in doing so are different.

Yes, that's why I said "don't believe in cancel culture".

You can't cry about cancel culture being bad and then simultaneously advocate for it because they took offence to something someone said.

Also creating a 12 minute video and posting it to 200k followers is sort of taking action but I digress.

I think the problem stems from far-left leaning organisations actually cancelling people like comedians. And non-far left leaning people then speaking out for the freedom to do their comedy routine of that said comedian, then those that do speak out, they get labelled with insults.

We didn't start the fire.

I am absolutely fine with people calling out cancel culture. I don't agree with it. However it's the hypocrisy in that here they are advocating for the very thing they so vehemently disagree with. That's the issue I have. I actually agree that cancel culture is extremely problematic.

Not because she is a black woman. Because she insulted the royals and the public alike. I hold her in as low esteem as I held the white woman on the same couch who enthusiastically agreed with her. This woman has not been marginalised because if her race, far from it. She's played a regency duchess on TV, of which, in reality, there were none, she's played countless white historical figures including Richard III. As a black actress she has not been short of opportunities so why she would shoot herself in the foot by insulting the royals, on TV, on coronation day is quite beyond me.

It's not because she's black. It's because she is rude, thoughtless, entitled and tactless.

It's because she had an opinion they didn't agree with and because she is black. I didn't agree with her opinion also, I kind thought it was a little racist.

But I truly believe that if she was white and said something in a similar vein, and then people objected to her being employed, Dan Wooten would be one of the first people whining about cancel culture.

Her "opinion" became Ofcom's most complained about TV moment of 2024.

Put objectionable Katie Hopkins in a Christmas ad, see whether she's any better received because she's white. I doubt it.

Or Dan Wooten doing a Reggie Reggie sauce advert.

That would actually be diverse.

Urgh... I am not saying she would be better received. But when she isn't, who do you think the first people would be to complain about the backlash? People like Dan and Peter. 100% guaranteed.

And in any case, I think you will find her opinion was Ofcom's 2nd most complained about moment of 2023. Guess who was the 1st?
