I always knew this would happen. Someone he likes has been cancelled. I don't know who this woman is, though I certainly don't support anyone being cancelled for simply expressing their opinion about a film. Still remember he absolutely relished in Gina Carano being fired, laughed about it, said it was brilliant. Now he is finally reaping what he has sown and is being called a racist and a sexist and homophobe.
Thing is I agree with him, but this is a guy who has done all he can to suck up to these people, and has branded the people who spoke out against it like Nerdrotic as white supremacists and fascists for the past few years. You reap what you sow.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving sellout.

For context Lindsay Ellis is a long time content creator on the internet and YouTube. While I don't now any of her original work, she came into the spotlight for the site That Guy With The Glasses (The Nostalgia Critic's website). She was voted from a selection of creators to become the Nostalgia Chick. A few years ago she and many others left the site for a variety of reasons, including poor treatment, lack of pay, making people sign wavers after they had been hurt on a shoot and potentially covering up a groomer/rapist. Lindsay has extreme leftist views, similar to MR. TARDIS. Woke culture and the like, anyway a while back she got into trouble because of a comment she made on one of her videos. I've not watched it but is was about Raya and the Last Dragon, and making comparisons to Avatar the Last Air Bender. Something she said was taken as racist, as was her lack of brining up the poor representation of Native Americans in the Twilight Movies. So about 8/9 months ago she was "Cancelled" but instead of dropping of the internet she made a video about cancel culture. This video to my understanding was mainly focused on claiming that cancel culture was a right wing bogyman used to persecute the left, or something like that. Anyway despite all that blaming, her own fans and community grew increasingly more toxic until she has offical quit as a content creator, or at least in video form.
So like MR. TARDIS, she was eaten by the swarm of sharks she helped create. As with the cancelling of certain Who Actors, there is no grey area for these people. You are either pure and faultless, or your a disgusting degenerate unworthy of being treated as a human. There is no middle ground with this mindset and no matter how high up you think you are in that community, the second you become less then perfect your fokked. None should be treated this way in my eyes, but thats the way people like MR. TARDIS and Lindsay wanted it, so you'll find me rather unsympathetic given that this was the hole they dug themselves.
