I think what has happened, is quite ridiculous, really. Why some people get hit by it, while others seem to be immune from it ('cancel', woke).
So, Scott Adams, has his regular (perhaps daily), video blog. Open to any fans of his, if they want, where he says some stuff. A bit like he would, if he had friends round, for morning coffee and a group chat, about things.
Which many people do (video blogs), in the modern world.
No one is forced to watch it, he is not ramming stuff down peoples throats. As Dave has said, if you follow his stuff, regularly. It is a gentler, less dramatic experience, where he discussing various things.
So, one or more people object to something he says, they then cause a big stir on social media and things and they get the guy 'cancelled'.
Yet, there are people like Elon Musk. Who, spout stuff rather regularly, which some think is incorrect (bordering on misleading and / or outright lies), unfair to some people (e.g. sacking many people at Twitter, with little or no warning, and probably no fault of their own, or practical ways of avoiding getting sacked).
Who seems to just, survive it all, and any such problems. Just seem to bounce off them, with no apparent injuries. Bullet-proof, if you like.
I.e. One set of rules for poor Scott Adams, who gets 'cancelled' for one perceived slight.
And another set of rules, for bullet-proof Elon Musk.
Whose set of followers, seem to be a very powerful, anti-cancel mob, indeed. Who even might try to 'cancel' any apparent opposition, such as Thunderf00t (a youtube channel, which seems to love to hate, especially Elon Musk, amongst others).
Things get complicated though. As Elon Musk, seems to be a very big and active supporter, of Scott Adams. But I couldn't easily think of a valid alternative, except one which is probably best to leave out of this thread, as it can cause political tensions.
