Who are some major figures who would be cancelled if they were around today?

Hugh Hefner obviously.

Kim Kardashian maybe? When the Kardashians first came into public view, they had this weird appropriation of Black women. Surgically altered butts, makeup, clothing and jewelry to imitate Black women and also dating Black men. Not sure it would rise to “cancelling” them but I think if they pulled that in 2020 rather than 2008, there would be more calling them out / criticizing them.

So, you’d give bill Cosby a pass because he was such a comedic genius who redefined the sitcom?

I used to love Louis CK but honestly all of his jokes about being a creep, jerking off too much, etc just suddenly weren’t as funny when you found out he was just describing his actual life and it’s not “haha listen to this exaggerated caricature of me”

That said I saw a recent clip of him talking about the whole thing and his regrets, etc and I’d totally be interested in seeing him again. But if it turns out it’s still just him talking about his dick and jerking off I’ll pass

He’s been doing “it” again recently (ie showing his dick to non consenting women). It’s so creepy and so stupid and so incredible he’s still doing it.
