I wonder if you know what you mean when you talk about people being canceled. Looking at all of the answers, I see all of these people who have done things that raised some public pressure against them and yet many of them are still active in public life. So they didn't get canceled?
Seriously, can you give me a list of people who actually got canceled, where they had to abandon their entire career and never got it back? And who weren't close to retirement age at the time? Of course, let's exclude the people who got locked up in prison because that's about being convicted of a crime, not about social justice.
Kanye can be as insane as he wants to be, it doesn't make Yeezus and TLOP any worse. 🤷 TBF I live a somewhat minimalistic life and I don't buy albums or anything, haven't gone to a concert in almost two decades... but a bop is a bop.

Dave Chapelle.
He’s still a comedian, but he’s digging into philosophy a lot more recently. He’s doing it in a way that’s pretty uncomfortable. A lot of the shit he’s said in the past few years is pretty reprehensible. I think he’s ok with making people uncomfortable now.
He made me laugh a LOT about 20-25 years ago. I thank him for those laughs.
I still watch his new stuff when it comes out. In his new special he addressed his reasoning for performing in Saudi Arabia along with some other pretty gross shit he does and has done.
I think he’s kinda a dick now, but in some ways I also respect his willingness to discuss his unpopular perspectives. I don’t think he comes from a place of hatred; but sometimes it’s hard to tell.
