    Is the grounds for double cancellation?

    According to libtard cancel culture, KD should be canceled and fired immediately. Is that going to happen to KD?

    Or, is KD powerful enough to change the liberal rules?

    A super star canceled?

    Does this effectively end Rapaport's career as a sports commentator?

    So, I guess that you are against eliminating the filibuster. Right?

    Did you just think to yourself....I don't believe that poll?
    Are you now going to run around the internet to try and find a poll that backs up your belief system?
    Or, have you been bullshitting this whole time about believing in democracy?

    Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters oppose eliminating the filibuster and 11% are not sure.

    "Spongebob Squarepants gets squeezed and wrung out, becomes latest cancel-culture victim."

    Spongebob Squarepants becomes latest cancel-culture victim as 2 episodes featuring ‘Clam-Flu’ & ‘panty-raid’ are removed

    https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/6899095/spongebob-squarepants-two-episodes-removed/

    SPONGEBOB Squarepants has pulled two episodes out of rotation, one due to its "virus storyline" and another that features Mr. Krab's "panty raid" that failed a standards review.

    The hit kids television show pulled the 12th season episode of "Kwarantined Krab" from public viewership, given its plot about a global pandemic. It also pulled out "Mid-Life Crustacean" as it was inappropriate for kids.

    "The 'Kwarantined Crab' centers on a virus storyline, so we have decided to not air it due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real-world pandemic,” Nickelodeon said Tuesday in a statement to Deadline.

    The 2019 episode features a health inspector finding a case of the "clam flu" at the Krusty Krab restaurant where Spongebob works, and quarantines all customers inside.

    The season wasn't released on DVD until this past January, with the exception of the "Kwarantined Krab" episode which was removed.

    The other episode the beloved children's series took out of rotation included "Mid-Life Crustacean," a 2003 episode in which Spongebob and Patrick take Mr. Krabs out to have a good time while he goes through his mid-life crisis.

    "Mid-Life Crustacean' has been out of rotation since 2018, following a standards review in which we determined some story elements were not kid-appropriate," said a representative from Nickelodeon.

    The representative also offered no comment regarding what scenes were considered inappropriate or if it considered flashing a content warning in front of the episode before removing it completely.

    Although it has yet to confirm which scene marked the episode ready for removal, there is one scene in which Patrick suggests a "panty raid" to his cohort.

    This was followed by Spongebob, Patrick and Mr. Krabs breaking into a woman's house to steal her underwear, which inevitably turned out to be Mr. Krabs' own mother they were stealing from.

    Nickelodeon's explanation did little to stop people from calling their move as cancel culture on Spongebob.

    "Mfs dead wanna cancel SpongeBob now," wrote one Twitter user with a collage of Spongebob characters.

    "Cancel culture got SpongeBob too," another posted, accompanied with a meme of Spongebob sitting alone at a table.

    64 percent view 'cancel culture' as threat to freedom: poll
    https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...cel-culture-as-a-threat-to-their-freedom-poll

    A majority of Americans say they view "cancel culture" as a threat to their freedom, according to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill on Monday.

    Sixty-four percent of respondents said that there is "a growing cancel culture" that is a threat to their freedom, while 36 percent said they did not view it as a threat to their freedom.

    Additionally, the poll found that 36 percent of Americans said cancel culture is a "big problem," while 32 percent called it a "moderate problem." Another 20 percent said it was a "small problem" and 13 percent said it is "not a problem."

    The findings come amid the growing societal debate over cancel culture, which is defined by Merriam-Webster as "the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure."

    British media personalities Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan are the latest public figures to be wrapped up in the growing debate. CBS announced on Friday that Osbourne, a longtime co-host of CBS’s “The Talk,” will be leaving the daytime program following an internal review of a heated conversation on race earlier this month.

    The conversation had been about Morgan's departure from "Good Morning Britain" following backlash he received for comments about Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, including saying he did not believe her when she said she struggled with mental health issues and had contemplated suicide in the past.

    Osbourne had defended Morgan on the show, saying, "I feel even like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist."

    Morgan penned an op-ed in the Daily Mail last week, defending Osbourne.

    "Sharon Osbourne's quit The Talk, driven out for the crime of defending me," he wrote.

    The poll found that 54 percent of respondents said they were "concerned" that if they expressed their opinions online that they would be banned or fired, while 46 percent said they were not concerned.

    "It is a chilling finding that most people in the country now are afraid they would be fired if they expressed their real views on social media," said Mark Penn, the director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey.

    "The public generally gives negative ratings to social media companies and sees the movement as more about censorship rather than trying to correct wrongs. It is growing as a national issue," he added.

    The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey of 1,945 registered voters was conducted from March 24 to 25. It is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and The Harris Poll.

    Full poll results will be posted online later this week. The survey is an online sample drawn from the Harris Panel and weighted to reflect known demographics. As a representative online sample, it does not report a probability confidence interval.
