I think she’s being cancelled now for dating a Trump supporter.

Haha I saw she was trending but assumed it was something to do with that talking heads stuff. Just had a peek.... people are fucking nuts.

What does cancelled mean?

 

Edit: just googled it. Social media is absolutely teaming with weapons it really is

There was an open letter sent out yesterday signed by lots of prominent academics, authors etc complaining about cancel culture.  Some famous people signed it, Noam Chomsky amongst them.  JKR also signed it so now people who signed the letter who agree she should be cancelled are backing out. It’s hilarious.

Literally nothing. 

 

But Rico loves it. It's his favourite Harrumph.

Mmm, that’s not true though is it?  It doesn’t matter if you are a billionaire for sure.  But if you are say, a children’s author who gets fired for expressing her support for JKR then it really does.  Or an evolutionary biologist who gets people trying to get her fired and funding removed for stating science.

What’s with this thing with wanting to get people sacked all the time? Real nasty, nasty shit

It’s because, on the other bits of the internet, you can’t call for them to be shot in the face, like you can on here.

First season was boss, second was decent but I didn't have a clue what was going on in the last one.

I think if they edited out every element of Killing Eve apart from the bits with Jodie Comer alone on screen then it would be watchable. She doesn’t necessarily even have to be speaking, although she does do a sexy accent. 
 

Stick that on for an hour every week and I’d tune in. As it is, there’s too much unnecessary shite (the story, other characters etc.) taking up too much Jodie Comer time. 

[Moo]

Social media, Twitter in particular, is getting more vile by the day.  The thing needs shutting down, or needs clearer guidelines and proper policing.

[Mook]

I sometimes think about what the World would be like if I could have everything I don't like 'cancelled'.

 

My conclusion is that it would be even worse as I'd have nothing to fucking moan about.

[Bjornebye]

The first two of Killing Eve were ok. Got half way through the first episode of the new one and it did nothing for me. 

 

Jodie Comer is superb in the first two though. The rest are just annoying. One hot little scouse minx that Comer.

The word for getting fired is "fired".

The word for getting defunded is "defunded".

 

"Cancelled" is just a bit of shit jargon.

Something Rico and I can agree on. 

 

(Rebecca Long-Bailey probably agrees, too.)

It speaks to the insidious process though doesn’t it.  The firing comes because of a social media storm leaking into real life, the defunding comes because of a concerted effort of contacting employers and institutions. The intention is to remove the person, make them unemployable and cow others into submission.

It's similar to a group of teenage girls ostracising one of their former mates for shagging a fella one of them fancied.

 

It does have a sinister side to it though- a software developer killed himself last year after being 'Me Too outed' for being abusive to an old girlfriend. There was no real evidence for what he was supposed to have done, there was some evidence that she was lying and it seemed to be part of a concerted action by a few to get some sort of games development Me Too bandwagon rolling, but that didn't matter. His life and livelihood was destroyed with a single Tweet.

To be fair people wanting people fired isn't anything new. It's just that Twitter is the gathering point for everyone now and gives it a collective voice.

Wanting people to lose their job is Grade A shithouse behaviour & always has been.

Killing Eve would have been alot better if Eve herself hadn't been so poorly cast.

I thought she was alright. The show was made for BBC America though so the lead actress (an MI6 agent) seemingly had to be American with no explanation given.

Just thought she was very wooden and it may have been intentional, but she always looked a bit stunned.
