Sherry Pie: cancel culture victimhood can be profitable!

By artappraiser on Mon, 02/15/2021 - 7:25pm |

All depends on how and where you play the game? Here one example; the link is to trending topic on Twitter. Trump again proved that there's no such thing as bad publicity?

I’m the reporter who first wrote about Sherry Pie. There are things here that suggest a worrying lack of research (accusations? she admitted the behaviour) but the biggest is one victim has already contacted me in distress as it appears there’s been no effort to hear from them. https://t.co/cZbtzmY0Gv

me, I'm still behind a bit, still in shock that Drag Queens have become mass pop culture, with only troglodyte conservative Christians complaining. (Guiliani doesn't even have to embarassed about those old drag videos with The Donald.) Our culture can change fast, just not through law or government, force doesn't work.

I knew someone named Sherry Pie years ago.

I knew a girl called "Honey Pi" - Beatles even write a song about her. At least I think it was her. Later on a book and movie, "The Life of Pi". Never differed out why she was so popular, 'cept everybody loves Pi, or so they say.

I worked with a guy with the family name "Grub." His parents named him Lon. Sounds exactly like Lawn Grub, which I'm sure most of his classmates noticed in elementary school. Why would anyone do that and why would anyone submit to it? If my family name was grub no matter what name I was given I'd change it as soon as I was legally old enough to do it.

We had a neighbor we called Grub. I think he liked it.

One of former President Donald Trump’s lawyers described his second impeachment trial as “constitutional cancel culture.” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a leading voice among the most conservative members of the House, told a Fox News audience that fighting cancel culture is “the number one issue for the country to address today.” The theme of this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference? “America Uncanceled.”

A newly released HuffPost/YouGov poll, however, found only about half of Americans are even aware of the free speech-defeating monster lurking under the bed, though two-thirds of those who are aware are concerned about the threat.

This is spot on. The thing is, #graceculture is a wonderful idea - when applied evenly.

Unfortunately, this entire #cancelculture business is a political power play wrapped in a cheap shawl of benevolence. https://t.co/bOXI61cQo0

that's one that I can't even make fun of, it's real and it's basically asking parents to teach their children racism and tribalism. It's vile and offensive. (In NYC yet, where so many kids are mixed race!!! just from seeing school kids over decades here, I'd judge those who are 100% caucasian are a minority now! and then many who look white are hispanic. who are the monsters making this stuff up? thank god it's being dissed allover the place in both social and old media.) I'm with Wes Yang on it, he did this good thread on it.
