I see things very differently. Although we came to the same basic conclusion that when people don't like something, it will go away on its own. Pepe Le pew for instance is going away on its own. We are not entitled to pepe Le pew. If those who make the cartoons don't feel that they are appropriate any longer, why can't we just honour that? That's what happened with the doctor Seuss books as well. The estate of Doctor Seuss wanted books that were less popular and which expressed controversial sentiments discontinued from publication. That is 100% THEIR call to make. In exactly zero of these cases is it some nameless, faceless amorphous blob making the decision, it's the general public. Same people who cancelled new Coke. As you said, if people don't like it, it dies on the vine. Pepe LePew died on the vine after decades of showing children of highly impressionable age that it's charming & cute to continue to grab and push up on females after they've said no. Just because a harmful thing was tolerated for a long time doesn't make ending that thing "censorship." Climates change and what people will tolerate changes as well. It's not censorship, it's evolution.

I ran into Rebecca at the grocery store, picking out Chinet patterns.

Notsomuch. Pepe may have seemed innocuously hapless to you, but his whole shtick was predatory, unwanted advances for which he never suffered any consequences. That's the overarching takeaway of those cartoons. They were accepted at the time they were made, but so was being fired for refusing to have sex with your boss. I say, good riddance to forced acceptance of both.

Too late, he’s cancelled Yeah, funny thing about that. Turns out teaching boys via cartoons that it's perfectly okay not to accept "No, I don't want you touching me as I struggle to get away from your grabby-perv hands" as an answer is a terrible message to ingrain in impressionable young children. "Cancel culture" is merely the general public refusing to tolerate abhorrent, outdated, unacceptable comments and/or conduct from a person or a corporation. As societal mores change and evolve, individuals and/or companies either adapt to the new climate or become extinct. The dinosaurs didn't get cancelled; they couldn't evolve & adapt. Same exact thing with so-called cancel culture. It's a matter of adapting to the changing climate or going extinct. Those who choose not to evolve have chosen their own extinction.

Really Mike? You leave a woman you know is emotionally fragile at the altar and then you hector her to give the ring back? Is he a sadist? I'm gobsmacked by his utterly sinister conduct. Also, that business with needing a physical credit card & not being able to book a room for someone else was some producer-contrived bullshit. I'm offended they think we're too dumb to notice their ham-handed plot interventions. See you all for more of this fuckery next week. 😂

Amira should send that cheap ass Renfaire ring back to Andrew in an envelope.

It's really does speak volumes about people's true character how they acted during the early days of Covid when people like Rebecca were rolling their eyes and heaving heavy sighs because it was all so inconvenient for them that people were dying horrible, painful, lonely deaths.

Rebecca is awfully haughty for a lady with 3 ex husbands who's shopping for her 4th wedding at a Target. ETA: No hate on Target, it's just not where the best wedding attire is usually found.

Do we think Stephanie had a mask with a photo of her and Harris on it to wear on the plane home, the same way she had a mask with her and Ryan on it for the trip to Belize? 🤣😂

It's just occurring to me what a dick move Mike pulled. He had sex with Natalie the night before they were going to get married and then dumped her the next day. That's cold-blooded.

But Natalie does "smell like a bitch."

Mike is truly a clueless loser.

ATTA GIRL AMIRA!!

Andrew's mom tells her 35 year old son who still relies on her for housing and money that she doesn't want Amira "holding him back." Back from what?

Harris sweatin' like a whore in Stephanie.

Whoa, did Natalie look... severe in her first wedding. Very Nurse Diesel.

Not a single one of the Americans this season are likable.

LOL! Zied has a wealth of minutes.

During covid? Who does that??

Nice stain on your shirt Rebecca.

I suspect that's what happens when she doesn't refresh her injections. Remember how she runs a med-spa and uses "vitamin" (since when is juviderm a vitamin? Lol) syringes on her face? That's only a temporary fix for aging skin. I guess there are no med spas in Stephanie's Belizean dick-hunting ground.

*dead*

I thought the very same thing.
