Heard a radio host in Minneapolis say cancel culture is just people facing consequences for their actions.

I was driving through Minnesota last week and caught this talk show guy going off about how nobody gets "cancelled" they just get called out for doing bad stuff and people stop supporting them. He was saying it's not some big movement, it's just the free market of reputation. That got me thinking. Is there really a difference between cancel culture and just... people deciding they don't want to give their money or attention to someone anymore? Or is that oversimplifying it? What do you think separates actual bullying from just letting people know you don't agree with them?

34, that's the number of advertisers that fled the same radio host's show back in 2019 after he said something stupid about the census (I looked it up). It's a weird line where the "consequences" only seem to apply to one side of the political aisle, you know?

Same here @black.pat, just stopped listening altogether. Easier fix.
