[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shrug I like her fine. I don’t believe in [b]canceling or deplatforming[/b]. If someone creates content I want to consume, let it stand on its merits. [/quote]

At all? What about content others want to consume but you find inappropriate or wrongheaded?[/quote]

I think all speech should be allowed (unless it requires a victim of a crime to be made like CP or snuff films).

That used to be the view of the ACLU but those days are gone. [/quote]

"Free speech" does not mean anyone is required to give you a platform for distributing that speech or an audience who will listen to it. Anyone is welcome to host their own blog or self publish a book or hand out flyers or stand on a street corner telling people what they think. That's not the same as saying anyone is entitled to a particular stage for their speech, and it definitely doesn't mean that I have to sit and listen to it, or that I can't criticize the hell out of it if I do.

People don't know what free speech is, that's the problem.[/quote]

I am a new poster who is very well aware of what free speech is. While I don't disagree with anything that you have posted above, I agree with the PP that platforms and media outlets should not cancel people who have unpopular opinions. Yes, it is their right to do so, but I do not agree that it is the right thing to do. It only further contributes to polarization. The recent hijacking of the ACLU on this point is disappointing to say the least.

Anyway, back to Chrissy's comeback tour, I think it may be a bit early, but she is doing all of the right moves from the celebrity comeback tour playbook. I wonder if she hired the same team who engineered Reece Witherspoon's comeback tour after her police incident. Reece's strolls through Target parking lots clearly did the trick to reinstate her down-home southern lady image with middle america.    [/quote]

You sound cynical and shallow.[/quote]
