      Cancel culture is not an actual phenomenon seen in entertainment
      Why would anyone try to cancel it lol, it's total bs, some things just get cancelled sometimes for varying reasons. Anyone who talks about 'cancel culture' clearly has nothing to do with the entertainment business.
      From - someone who actually knows what they're talking about on the subject. If anyone can provide me with a few decent examples of what they call cancel culture I'll come back and explain why you're wrong. Cancel culture is a right wing incel talking point, not an actual phenomenon seen in entertainment. Cheers!

      what i love about that episode is it's clear the writers have liberal leanings yet they portray both sides fairly respectfully - they don't just satirise politics for the sake of being edgy, they satirise the narcissistic people in life like Dennis who have no real convictions and take advantage of politics for their own personal gain. It's really uncommon for an early 2000s comedy show to have such a provocative yet thoughtful take on abortion.

    • @Flowerz__
      @Flowerz__ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It’s even simpler than that... the true reason this show can’t be canceled is bc the FANS love it for the reasons it would be canceled. Plain and simple it doesn’t even have to do with how they paint the characters or anything. The shows fan base is what makes the show and non fans being outraged on twitter wouldn’t change tht cuz the fans are still around and like the show bc of the reasons that ppl would try to cancel it. Hence it has full immunity to cancel culture.

      The theory that Dennis is a serial killer seems to exactly be the line they do not want to cross: everything about Dennis oozes probable cause, but that's the joke, if they just came out and confirmed that Dennis is a serial killer, it'll kill the joke and make every suspicious thing he ever said/did become much more sinister.
      Or, as he so eloquently put himself: "The implication that things might go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with me. Not that things are gonna go wrong for her, but she's thinking that they will"
      The joke about Dennis is the implication that he might be a serial killer, not that he is, but you're thinking that he is.

    I think a huge part of it is that despite having a loyal cult fanbase for years, It's Always Sunny never became the huge cultural phenomenon that shows like South Park or Rick and Morty did. Not just in terms of marketing, but in basic cultural relevance. It would be almost unheard of that an average person would know nothing about South Park or Rick and Morty, but knowing nothing about It's Always Sunny wouldn't be nearly as surprising.

    Because its satirical and the cast has often, outside of the show, shown that they support several progressive causes.

      ViciousKisses, that’s because the initial joke probably doesn’t come from a place of empathy or understanding. Nobody can just come on stage and make a joke about a serious topic. As self-defeating as it is, comedians have to take them seriously because when they don’t they demonstrate the same qualities the Gang does - ignorance and callousness, which is a quick way to get fired from _any_ profession.

    It’s because most people don’t understand what cancel culture actually is. It’s just creating actual punishment to rich celebrities because they more than likely will get away with most acts that would destroy a general persons life.
    It’s always Sunny is satire. It poses as satire. Every time they “cross the line” it’s a satirical critique of those that actually cross the line seriously. It avoids cancel culture because of that, because it’s known that it’s insulting the behaviour that gets you “cancelled”. Same as South Park and Tropic Thunder

    Correction: Cancel culture is internal, not by complaints of some outside group. Considering Mac and Frank are actually quite progressive in real life, this may apply, whereas probably doesn't when applied to "apolitical" celebrities. This also happens on both sides of the political spectrum and can even happen in groups that aren't focused on politics, so this isn't exclusive to this group or that group by any means either.

    People blame cancel culture because they aren't funny. South Park and It's always sunny are perfect examples as to how you can still make jokes on and about taboo topics and it be totally fine.
    They punch up (as they say in the comedy world), they don't glorify the bad people or things, in fact it's the opposite. They use the humor to bring light to the topics and situations by making the jokes about the bad people and who don't understand the issues and the offensive actions they take.
    Like in the gang gets racist. The jokes are never at minority groups who are the ones who suffer from racism. It's about the ignorant people who chose not to see/understand racism and all that comes along with it.
    This is why someone like Dave Chappelle (most recent example) is getting cancelled. Because in his latest standup he punches down. He makes fun of a marginalized group, the LGBTQ community. Specific the trans community. He makes them the bud of the jokes, thus not only showing his lack of understanding of the subject, but also empowering the ignorant people who chose not to understand the issues.
