When fear and trauma go to battle with envy and humiliation, the only solution is compassion. And sadly, we ran out of that a while ago.
The word "religion" comes from the Latin verb religare, which means "to bind fast," "to tie back," or "to re-bind." So as we lose religion, it shouldn't be surprising that the binds that tie us together are also dissolving.

I feel like part of the problem with "cancelled" is no one can agree on what it actually means.

Everyone's getting too hot. We gotta put an embargo on hotness. Lips and butts can only get so big. Pecs can only get so buff. We're all gonna topple over soon. Enough is enough.

A joke format I detest is when the comic lies to the audience and then the punchline is something like "I just lied to you all and you bought it AHAHAHA." Yeah, they gave you the benefit of the doubt. What a bunch of suckers. Maybe try writing a punchline instead of a prank show.
