When someone writes a well-spoken apology about a one-off incident from 1984 - which, lest I remind you, was thirty-six years ago - it's probably not worth being cancelled over.
And it's not like being cancelled ruins careers.

You disingenuous bellend. Are you honestly trying to argue that a self-admitted sexual offender and deserved victim of the #metoo movement (which, as you've often pointed out, tends to skew left) will be uncancelled based on being anti-Trump? Damn, your conservative persecution complex is really strong.

His apology seems sincere and it looks like he's gotten the gist of exactly why it was wrong. All I see is a musician owning up to something he did ages ago. No sensational news here. No mob. Just someone jumping at every opportunity to parade their skewed world view about a supposed monolithic, context-free cancel culture and whatnot.
And all I find when I google news about David Byrne are reports about his apology. There's absolutely no indication that there's been a huge push to cancel him. The only ones mentioning that seem to be commenters on a youtube video of the promo interview itself lamenting the supposed "cancel culture". Arguing about conjured up phantoms here, if you ask me. My two cents: It was wrong and cringey, but he owned up to it. If he still thought it'd be a good idea, it'd be a different story. Also: Amazing how this somehow turned into a rant on BLM. The lengths some people will go to cram in their few specific talking points everywhere. If it wasn't so sad, it'd almost be comical. |

Look no further than the treatment of Kavanaugh/Blasey-Ford vs Biden/Reade for supporting evidence. #MeToo was once of upmost importance. Until it wasn’t. |
