So feminists and trans activists control communications and social media and use it to cancel people. That’s your take.

This topic seems to be not about the original topic any longer and about politics..

    Agree both are bad but the woke crowd started Cancel Culture & love to ban anyone who disagrees with them.

    Laughable and laughably ignorant.

    For those up the back and because it seems that it needs to be clarified (not that it'll make much difference, but heh ...):

    The term "woke" emerged among Black Americans as a way to describe being alert to social injustices, especially racism and inequality. It has since expanded to include issues like sexism, homophobia, misogyny, ableism ..

    At its core, it’s about empathy and being accepting and tolerant of others’ experiences and ways of living their lives.

    Still waiting for you to enlighten us with examples of people who got cancelled because of ‘social media’.

    A simple Google search will give hundreds of examples or even use an AI tool.

    I presume you know how to use Google or are you just lazy ?

    You said it. I asked you to prove it. You couldn’t - but it’s my job to prove your, completely incorrect, point?

    Lol.

    Actually I think the evidence shows the progressives ie the left started Cancel Culture.

    Jim Zumbo gets neatly tucked under the carpet when right wingers talk about cancel culture. Not just cancelled but forced to declare he loved Big Brother.

    Ugh.

    Let's delete this thread and start a new one about Leigh Ryswyk.

    No, I'm serious.

    Hopefully the new one can be kept clean of people who need to inject their conspiracy theories into other people's small celebrations.

    Like different religious beliefs I don’t care who you believe in or who you think you are or identify as or whatever. Good on you. I hope life is good for you. (But please don’t try and convert me!)

    Answer to ‘has any body tried to convert me?’

    Yes, normally the god botherers that dress up well and knock on your door. Tough job for them, I am a rusted on atheist, but……..many years ago I had two Rottweiler dogs. You had to open a gate to get to my front door.

    The gate had a bell you could ring and there was a big sign that said ‘Dogs running free’ and a picture of a Rottweiler. Everyone without fail that didn’t know me or the dogs would ring the bell.

    Lo and behold one day I heard a knock on the front door. When I answered the door there were two god botherers. I was shocked and asked if they saw the sign. They said yes but believed that god would look after them.

    After I moved them on I went outside to look to see where the dogs were. They were both fast asleep in the back yard.

    I thought that there truly must be a god. Closest I’ve come to being converted!

    im sure the gay players currently playing care alot. takes alot of courage to do this

    not as simple as “who cares” when he will now get hate on social media for simply coming out as gay

    I dont think Ethan meant it that way ,good people dont care about someone elses sexulality just the person

    2 large greyhounds work well here - they have no interest in harming anything but the ginger tom cat that soils their yard.

    God botherers try and convert and I've had a lot of gay friends who bemoan my lifestyle choices, but they didn't persist like the fundamntalists.

    Hounds also helpful at Halloween.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
